Phil Collins could be about to hang up his microphone once and for all.
But no, that doesn't mean the former Genesis man is considering a return to behind the kit.
Instead, he's hinted he could end his professional recording career altogether.
So, what could possibly make the veteran drummer-turned-crooner come to this decision? Well, it turns out he's sick and tired of criticism.
He told Rolling Stone magazine: "All my life I've put out music and people have criticised it. Why keep doing that? I don't need the money.
"In the future I think I'll write songs in my basement and never play for anybody."
