Phil Collins, His Words on Retiring

Earlier this week, I told you that Phil Collins was retiring.  It seems that a lot of the things that were in the press were taken out of context.  Here is what Phil Collins had to say for himself about retiring.

1/ I'm not stopping because of dodgy reviews or bad treatment in the press.

2/ I'm not stopping because I don't feel loved, I know I still have a very large fanbase that loves what I do. Thank you.

3/ I'm not stopping because I don't fit in, this was proved with "Going Back" reaching No 1 in the UK, and doing incredibly well worldwide.

4/ I'm not stopping so I can dive full time into my interest for the Alamo.

I am stopping so I can be a full time father to my two young sons on a daily basis.
