In the months leading up to his ‘Not Dead Yet Tour,’ iconic drummer Phil Collins started experiencing nerve issues in his hand, which made playing the drums a real challenge. Fortunately, he had a helping hand nearby. He hired his son, Nic Collins, to play drums on his tour from 2016 until 2019. The unexpected turn of events occurred when the father-son team had Nic sit down at the piano during the tour’s stop in Houston.
After Phil showed Nic his discography, his son discovered a song that Phil liked, Phil told the crowd. As a sign of their mutual sense of humor, Phil joked, “Just one,” and Nic corrected him, saying, “Two songs… mainly just one.” “You Know What I Mean” is the Phil Collins solo debut album track that Nic enjoyed. Then, with Phil singing and Nic playing piano, the duo broke into a moving rendition of the song.
