		</div><p>Phil Collins has announced a comeback tour – saying he has changed his mind about retirement.</p>
<p>The 65-year-old former Genesis star will play five nights at London’s Royal Albert Hall next summer – as well as dates in Cologne and Paris.</p>
<p>The In The Air Tonight and Another Day In Paradise singer officially retired in 2002.</p>
<p>But Phil, who has previously spoken about his battle with the bottle following a divorce fight with his third wife – with whom he later got back together, told a press conference that retirement was “a funny word”.</p>
<p>He said: “I stopped work because I wanted to be a dad at home. As bad luck would have it, as soon as I retired, my family split up.</p>
<p>“I didn’t have anyone to go home to. That’s why I started drinking.”</p>
<p>But the drummer and singer said of his retirement: “I’ve changed my mind.</p>
<p>“I’m living with my young kids. They want me to go out on the road and do my thing, and why not?”</p>
<p>He said he was not nervous and was looking forward to the tour.</p>
<p>Phil, who has been using a crutch because of injuries caused by years of drumming, said he was unlikely to play drums – although he would like to attempt the famous introduction to In The Air Tonight.</p>
<p>He said: “A lot of people think of me as shiny BMW music. I’m actually the complete opposite of that.”</p>
