Tonight’s mystery artist tells how being out on tour in 1977 ended his marriage and when he got back from Canada his bandmates were working on solo projects so he got a little home studio and started messing about.  Can you think of what song he may have come up with or who he might be??

Bit of a sad story really as Phil Collins tells how he had a family and pets and yet he was cut loose from all of them and on his own with a lot of time on his hands. He said that was when he wrote ‘In the air tonight’ while feeling angry and he didn’t hold back in his lyrics. He says his ex-wife was angry with him for putting it out there so honestly.  In this 2016 interview he also likens the drums in that song to barking seals so I am thinking he’s feeling better now. He has had 2 more wives since the first one dumped and is now single and out on tour. He is also according to Wikipedia the second most wealthy drummer in the world beaten out only by Ringo Starr.

Here is tonight’s featured song:
