how about a phil Collins and Peter Gabriel joint tour like the sting/Gabriel tour last year. phil can do know what I like and Peter can do Invisible touch as a trade.

To be honest I always have more interest in new material than touring old material...but it would be a big deal if this happened, even for one show. Clearly they have changed vocally and instrumentally, though, yes.
Of course it came close to happening circa 2004/5 but didn't. I also thought that documentary Together And Apart may have caused problems within the band.
Here's the rest of the article (today's date)-
https://www.sundayworld.com/entertai...enesis-reunion
***Several members of Genesis have spoke of a potential reunion including Phil Collins, who played drums and later fronted the rock group when Peter left the prog incarnation of the band in 1975.
He previously said he is interested in reforming with his old band mates, Tony Banks and Mike, but only if he could take on singing duties as he can no longer play the drums due to a long-standing neck injury and a bad back.
Of a possible reunion, he said: "We could probably put to bed the Peter Gabriel Genesis, especially if I can't really play that well. In my eyes that would be my role - I'd go back behind the drums."
And keyboard player Tony previously told BANG Showbiz of a possible reunion: "I'd love to say that we are, but I know nothing of it.
"It's never a problem for me really. Mike and I see each other a lot and we are always up for anything really. The problem really is Phil is not quite able to do what he did in the past, but we never say never."***
"Henry Cow always wanted to push itself, so sometimes we would write music that we couldn't actually play – I found that very encouraging." - Lindsay Cooper, 1998
"I have nothing to do with Endless River. Phew! This is not rocket science people, get a grip." - Roger Waters, 2014
"I'm a collector. And I've always just seemed to collect personalities." - David Bowie, 1973
Whats striking to me is that none of them are exactly passionate or enthused about the prospect- more like a lukewarm hey, why not or I suppose if they will, I will....the fans get excited, the band seems decidedly blase....if thats the case, may be better to skip it.

Let's be honest, there would be no reason for them to do it. Fans of 80's and 90's Genesis probably don't know or care who was in the band (aside from Collins, due to his successful solo career, of course) so adding Hackett would mean nothing to the vast majority of their fan base. Peter Gabriel may well have a fair amount of crossover fans between his solo work and Genesis later work, but he is clearly the one that always seems to prevent (or make exceedingly difficult, schedule-wise) any 5 man reunion. I really don't get any sense that Tony or Mike really have much interest in a 5 man reunion either. While I don't think they are doing this for them money, since all three are quite wealthy by rock musician standards (or most standards really), I think they all know that a 5 man tour would mean small venues and probably more disappointed fans than happy ones (because they obviously wouldn't play much from their most popular albums with that lineup). Also, Phil can't play drums, so there's really no point (Phil having said in interviews over the years that he would only do a 5 man reunion if he played drums only.......at least I seem to recall reading that somewhere).
So, yeah. The only surprising thing here is that they decided to do any sort of tour at all, not that what they decided on was another Genesis "the hits" 3 man tour.
So... a search of the word Genesis didn't yield two other recent threads regarding the same thing?
