LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Retirement may be beckoning music legend Phil Collins to its paradise. The 60-year-old musician reportedly plans to end his music career due to hearing problems, a dislocated vertebra and nerve damage in his hands -- all caused by a lifetime spent hunched over a drum set. "I don't think anyone's going to miss me," he reportedly told FHM magazine in a recent interview, according to the UK's Daily Telegraph. "I look at the MTV Music Awards and I think, 'I can't be in the same business as this.' I don't really belong to that world... I'm much happier just to write myself out of the script entirely." The former Genesis frontman, who has sold over 150 million records, reportedly plans to focus on raising his two sons, Nicholas and Matthew. "I'm not worried about not being able to play the drums again, I'm more worried about being able to cut a loaf of bread safely or building things for my kids," he reportedly told the mag. "My doctors tell me it's a work in progress, that it will take about a year for me to recover." As for his inspiring percussion performances, Collins said, "I don't think I'll ever be able to do that again."

Formation and early years (1963-1967) [edit] The beginning Roger Waters and Nick Mason met while studying architecture at the Regent Street Polytechnic in London.[2] The pair first played together in a group formed by Keith Noble and Clive Metcalfe, with Noble's sister Sheilagh. They were later joined by fellow student Richard Wright, and the group became a sextet, taking the name Sigma 6, the first band to feature Waters on "rudimentary" lead guitar, Wright on rhythm guitar, and Mason on drums.[3] Wright's girlfriend was a regular guest artist. The band performed initially during private functions, rehearsing in a tearoom in the basement of Regent Street Polytechnic. They covered songs by The Searchers, and also material written by fellow student Ken Chapman, who became their manager and songwriter.[4] In September 1963 Waters and Mason moved into the lower flat of Stanhope Gardens, owned by Mike Leonard, a part-time tutor at the Regent Street Polytechnic. Leonard was a designer of light machines (perforated discs spun by electric motors to cast patterns of lights on the walls)[nb 1] and for a time played keyboard with them using the front room of his flat for rehearsals.[5] Mas

Mason later moved out of the flat, while accomplished guitar player Bob Klose moved in. Sigma 6 went through a number of short-lived names, including The Meggadeaths,[nb 2] The (Screaming) Abdabs,[nb 3] Leonard's Lodgers, and The Spectrum Five, before settling on The Tea Set.[nb 4][12][13] While Metcalfe and Noble left to form their own band,[14] in 1964 Klose and Waters were joined at Stanhope Gardens by Syd Barrett.[14] Then aged 17,[15] Barrett had arrived in London in the autumn of 1963 to study at the Camberwell College of Art.[16] Waters and Barrett were childhood friends; the bassist had often visited Barrett as he played guitar at his mother's house.[17] In his book, Mason said this about Barrett, "In a period when everyone was being cool in a very adolescent, self-conscious way, Syd was unfashionably outgoing; my enduring memory of our first encounter is the fact that he bothered to come up and introduce himself to me

After The Tea Set lost Noble and Metcalfe's vocal abilities, Klose introduced the band to Chris Dennis, a technician with the Royal Air Force.[19] It was during Dennis's tenure that the band was first referred to as "The Pink Floyd Sound", created by Barrett on the spur of the moment when he discovered that another band, also named The Tea Set, were to perform at one of their gigs. (The name is derived from the given names of two blues musicians whose records Barrett had in his collection, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.)[20] At around the same time Dennis was posted to Bahrain, thrusting Barrett into the spotlight as front-man.

They first performed in a recording studio in December 1964, minus the presence of Wright, who was taking a break from his studies. Through one of his friends, who let them use some "down time" for free, they managed to secure recording time at a studio in West Hampstead. This four-song session became The Tea Set's first demo tape, and included the R&B classic "I'm A King Bee", two Syd Barrett originals: "Butterfly" and "Lucy Leave", and "Double O Bo", a group-composition which—according to Mason—was "Bo Diddley meets the 007 theme.

The Pink Floyd Sound became the resident band at the Countdown Club near Kensington High Street in London, where from late night until early morning they played three sets of 90 minutes. According to Mason, this period "... was the beginning of a realisation that songs could be extended with lengthy solos."[22] An audition for ITV's Ready Steady Go! soon followed (they were invited by the programme's producers to return the following week), as did another club, and two rock contests. After pressure from his father and advice from his college tutors, Bob Klose quit Pink Floyd in 1966,[23] and Barrett took over on lead guitar.[24] Playing mostly rhythm and blues songs, they began to receive paid bookings, including one for a performance at the Marquee Club in March 1966, where they were watched by Peter Jenner. A lecturer at the London School of Economics, Jenner was impressed by the acoustic effects Barrett and Wright created,[25] and with his business partner and friend Andrew King became their manager.[26] Although the pair had little experience of the music industry, they used inherited money to set up Blackhill Enterprises, and purchased new instruments and equipment for the ban

including a Selmer PA system.[27] Under their guidance, at venues including All Saints Hall and The Marquee, the band became part of London's underground music scene.[28] While performing at the Countdown Club the band had experimented with long instrumental excursions, and they began to expand upon these with rudimentary but visually powerful light shows, projected by coloured slides and domestic lights.[29] To celebrate the launch of the London Free School's magazine International Times, they performed in front of a 2,000-strong crowd at the opening of The Roundhouse, attended by celebrities including Alexander Trocchi, Paul McCartney, and Marianne Faithfull.[30] Jenner and King's diverse array of social connections helped gain the band important coverage in The Financial Times and The Sunday Times.[31]

Their relationship with Blackhill Enterprises was strengthened when they became full partners, each holding an "unprecedented" one-sixth share,[32] and by October 1966 their set included more of their own material.[33] They performed at venues such as the Commonwealth Institute,[34] but were not universally popular; following a performance at a Catholic youth club the owner refused to pay, a stance which the magistrate agreed with, claiming that the band's performance "wasn't music".[35] This was not the only occasion on which they encountered such opinions, but they were better received at the UFO Club in London.[36] Barrett's performances were reportedly exuberant, "... leaping around and the madness, and the kind of improvisation he was doing ... he was inspired. He would constantly manage to get past his limitations and into areas that were very, very interesting. Which none of the others could do."[37] The often drug-addled audience was receptive to the music they played, but the band remained drug-free — "We were out of it, not on acid, but out of the loop, stuck in the dressing room at UFO.

Signing with EMI According to Mason, the psychedelic movement had "taken place around us—not within us".[39] Nevertheless The Pink Floyd Sound were present at the head of a wave of interest in psychedelic music, and began to attract the attention of the music industry.[40] While in negotiations with record companies, Joe Boyd and booking agent Bryan Morrison arranged for and funded the recording of several songs at Sound Techniques in West Hampstead, including "Arnold Layne" and a version of "Interstellar Overdrive",[40] and also for the production in Sussex of a short music film for "Arnold Layne". Despite early interest from Polydor, the band signed with EMI, with a £5,000 advance. Boyd was not included in the deal
