Phil Collins is very much a ‘marmite’ performer.
He’s got some absolute diehard fans though, Premier League footballers amongst them, and then there are those who can’t stand the former Genesis man.
So when Collins announced he was coming out of retirement, it’s safe to say the reaction was mixed.
The supporters
Would like to go on record for saying how much I respect Phil Collins

The opponents
Overheard in the office:
"Phil Collins is trending, is he dead?
No, it's worse – he's coming out of retirement…"

Of course, we needed someone to remind us of the real victims in all of this…
Phil Collins coming out of retirement means another gorilla out of work. Selfish.
