Phil Collins said he's retired to spend more time with his kids
Phil Collins has told how he decided to knock his music career on the head for the sake of his children.
The chart star, who has been in the spotlight for more than 40 years as a member of Genesis and a solo star, said he wanted to correct the perception he was a "tormented weirdo".
It followed a recently published magazine interview which implied he was giving up music because he felt no part of the modern music scene and because of a back injury.
In a message to fans on his website, he confirmed he was "stopping", but it was solely to be a "full-time father".
Phil said articles written about him had "ended up painting a picture of me that is more than a little distorted".
Bad reviews, a feeling that he did not fit in or that he felt unloved were not to blame for him "calling it a day", he said.
"I am stopping so I can be a full-time father to my two young sons on a daily basis," the 60-year-old went on.
Phil Collins is going to be a full time daddy. I used to really love his music!
