After Genesis farewell concert: Lily Collins thanks her father ‘for the inspiration’

Phil Collins not only played the last concert of the Genesis tour “The Last Domino?” on the weekend (March 26th), but also the last concert in the band’s history. His daughter Lily Collins was also there and expressed herself emotionally about the “end of this era”.

Tribute post on Instagram

The history of Genesis goes back 55 years, last week Collins closed the chapter in London’s O2 Arena with the words “After tonight we all have to look for real jobs”. In addition to ex-member Peter Gabriel, who was later asked to take a selfie together, Lily Collins was also among the spectators.

The 33-year-old actress is the daughter of Phil Collins and his ex-wife Jill Tavelman. On Instagram, she posted photos of herself backstage, smiling, sitting on a transport box, as well as videos from the gig. She wrote a few lines in which she honors her father and his work and thanks her for the farewell show.

Lily Collins is more than ‘endlessly grateful’

“Being able to witness this final show is truly a memory for life and an event that I will treasure in my heart forever. Infinitely grateful doesn’t do it justice,” said the Emily in Paris actress. There was so much love on stage and in the audience that the audience didn’t want it to end, writes Collins under her post. She thanks the band for all the “memories” and her father “for the inspiration”. Finally, she points to the timelessness of Genesis’ work and writes that there will also be further generations “who will celebrate you long after this tour is over.”

The actress also expressed her admiration for her brother Nic, who was on the drums on the show: “Thank you for making me the proudest sister there is.”
