Take A Look At Phil Collins Now

Phil Collins says he doesn’t want to sound like a weirdo but in a recent interview the musician talked about his belief in paranormal energy and the possibility that he lived past lives.

In an interview published in the new issue of Rolling Stone, Collins told the magazine that he saw “glowing, semitransparent light orbs” in a number of photos he took at the Alamo. He explained that a psychic recently revealed that the musician had fought at the famous Texas fort in a previous lifetime.

“It’s paranormal energy,” Collins said. “I don’t want to sound like a weirdo. I’m not Shirley MacLaine, but I’m prepared to believe. You’ve seen the pictures. You can’t deny them, so therefore it’s possible that I was there in another life.”

He also opened up about having suicidal thoughts.

“I wouldn’t blow my heard off,” he said. “I’d overdose or do something that didn’t hurt. But I wouldn’t do that to the children. A comedian who committed suicide in the Sixties left a note saying, ‘Too many things went wrong too often.’ I often think about that.”

The interview discusses Collins’ neck injury, which prevents him from holding his drumsticks.

“I was going to stop drumming anyway,” he says. “I had stopped. I don’t miss it.”

Collins released Going Back, his eighth studio album in September. The album features covers of ‘60s Motown standards.

Rolling Stone noted that Collins spends most of his time raising his two sons from his last marriage and tending to his “gigantic collection” of artifacts from the Alamo.
