If the old public schoolboy never worked again he couldn't spend all his money - royalties will be huge from his old stuff. Never liked Genesis or any spin off crap.

A tribute band, I think. Probably Marillion.

Genesis DID get a vocalist who they thought could handle the early Gabriel and later Collins styles - his name was Ray Wilson ( ex Skiltskin ) and he appeared on the "Calling All Stations" album.

A notable success and no mistake :-)

They are a tribute band but, they are also the ultimate Genesis tribute band. All Canadian as far as I am aware.

They endevour to emulate as accurately as possible the Genesis sound by using the same instruments that would have been used on tour and in the studio, also the same scenery/backdrops/props etc, some even donated by Genesis.

Members of Genesis have even guested with them on occasion while doing the Lamb, Foxtrot, Selling England tours.
