The conversation will explore the tracks that have shaped Phil’s journey, including music from Stevie Wonder, The Who, Taylor Swift, the Travelling Wilburys and other artists who have influenced him.
Phil will take listeners through key moments from his career, from building his first drum kit with help from his family as a child to auditioning for groups as a teenager.
He will also discuss joining Genesis as their drummer in 1970 before becoming the band’s vocalist five years later following Peter Gabriel’s departure.
Featured stories from across Phil’s career, will include the creation of his solo music and the story behind his much loved track In The Air Tonight.
