Collins Amazed By His 1980s Self In Video Game.... Veteran rocker Phil Collins has praised the makers of an upcoming video game for accurately reconstructing his "embarrassing" look in the 1980s.

The rocker, who recently reunited with his Genesis bandmates, features as himself in the latest Grand Theft Auto game, for which he also provides the music.

And Collins is impressed with how life-like he appears to be.

He says, "They have got it spot on - the five o'clock shadow, the suits, and all the other stuff that was so embarrassingly prevalent in my '80s wardrobe".

Meanwhile in other news former band mate Peter Gabriel has reassured fans that reformed rockers Genesis are getting along with each other, despite not taking part in the upcoming reunion himself.

Gabriel, who was replaced as the British band's frontman by drummer Phil Collins when he left Genesis in 1976, is instead concentrating on his solo career.

He says, "I think they seemed to be enjoying the rehearsals from what I've heard, so there's no bad feeling there".
