Episode 5: The Man Himself

Eras
Contains strong language.

Available for over a year

In the final part of Eras: Phil Collins, Zoe Ball sits down with the man himself for a new and exclusive conversation, encompassing everything from Phil’s earliest aspirations as a kid with a drum set to his poignant reflections at the other end of an incredible career. Featuring special appearances from Robert Plant, Mike Rutherford and Phil’s son, Nic Collins, it’s an emotional grand finale – with Phil reflecting on the private price he paid for so much success, and the health struggles that have left him unable to play the drums in recent years. But while he might not be able to sit behind the kit anymore, that doesn’t mean we’ve heard the last from Phil Collins… A Cup and Nuzzle Production for BBC Sounds Series Producer: Frank Palmer
