Phil Collin In The Air Tonight Is Hit Again Thanks To Tv Ad....

Phil Collins' 1981 hit In The Air Tonight is racing back up the charts in England and America, thanks to two separate TV campaigns.The song is back in Britain's top 40 thanks to a drum-playing gorilla in a new Cadbury's Dairy Milk TV ad, while the song is a download hit on iTunes in America after it appeared in a trailer for Jerry O'Connell's new TV series Carpoolers.Earlier this year Phil Collins said he regretted the decision to reform Genesis.The singer has split with his third wife Orianne Cevey since agreeing to reform the band - and he hates the way the tour has left him thousands of miles away from Switzerland, where Cevey lives with their children Nicholas and Matthew.He tells Mojo, "I'm not interested. My life is in turmoil. Frankly, at the moment I am living for my two little boys, so this tour is actually a pain in the arse because I'm away from home. I've been trying to keep it short."Every time somebody said we could pay for the tour if we do another four dates, I said no. I signed on to buy a blue suit: I don't want to end up with a red one."The band formed in the 1960's and have sold 150 million albums worldwide placing them amongst the top thirty best selling acts of all time.Collins joined the band in 1870 as the drummer. But when Peter Gabriel left the band in 1975 Collins took over lead vocals.

Collins was a hit on vocals as the band had a string of successful albums throughout the eighties including Abacab, Genesis and Invisible Touch.

Collins left the band in 1996 to focus on his solo career.
