Phil Collins was inducted as a solo artist at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Saturday.
The musician, 75, used two canes on stage and on the red carpet. He was also joined by his daughters, Lily Collins and Joely Collins, and his son Nicholas.
In his Rock & Roll Hall of Fame speech, he looked back on his career and deemed himself “very, very lucky.”
Towards the end of his speech, he also thanked his three ex-wives, telling the crowd that the women loved him “through the years.” He was talking about Andrea Bertorelli, Jill Tavelman and Orianne Cevey.
He also expressed gratitude for the “five great children” they gave him.
Collins shares daughter Joely, 54, and son Simon, 50, with Bertorelli, with whom he was married to from 1975 to 1979. He has daughter Lily, 37, with Tavelman, whom he wed in 1984 and left in 1994. He has sons Nicholas, 25, and Mathew, 21, with Cevey. They were married from 2000 to 2006 and later reunited and split again in 2020.
At the event, he also hinted at new music, saying, “you haven’t heard the last of me.”
Backstage, he said his drumming days are “probably done” but he wants to return to his home studio in Switzerland.
