Phil Collins & Paul McCartney: Rift Healed After 20 Years
4 Oct
Summary
- Phil Collins and Paul McCartney have reconciled after two decades.
- A 2002 comment by McCartney sparked years of tension between them.
- Collins felt McCartney's 'our little Phil' remark was patronizing.
Phil Collins shared that he and Paul McCartney have mended their relationship after more than two decades of estrangement. The rift originated from a comment made by McCartney at a rehearsal for the Queen's Jubilee Concert in 2002. Collins recounted how McCartney, accompanied by his then-wife Heather Mills, made a remark about him while signing a book.
Collins perceived McCartney's comment, 'He's a big fan, our little Phil,' as patronizing. This remark, made by the former Beatle, reportedly caused Collins significant offense, initiating years of discord between the two music icons. However, Collins confirmed on "Piers Morgan Uncensored" that the two are now on good terms.
