Phil Collins recently celebrated his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His old feud with Oasis’ Noel Gallagher has resurfaced at an awkward time, as reported by Phil Collins Feed.
The legendary musician expressed his gratitude for the prestigious honor in a recent statement.
“Obviously I’m pleased and honored to be inducted,” Collins said. “It wraps up what has been a wonderful life in music.”
However, the celebration comes with an uncomfortable twist. Collins and Gallagher will likely encounter each other during the ceremony, reigniting memories of their famous public feud.
Oasis’ Noel Gallagher previously said about Phil Collins, “[Phil Collins is] antichrist. We’ve got to get in the charts and stamp them out. I want the severed head of Phil Collins in my fridge by the end of this decade. And if I haven’t, I’ll be a failure.”
Collins then said about Noel Gallagher and Oasis, “Oasis are rude and not as talented as they think they are. I won’t mince words here but they’ve had a go at me personally.”
The timing becomes particularly significant as both Collins and Oasis find themselves sharing the spotlight at the same prestigious event. This makes their potential interaction a subject of intense speculation among music fans and industry observers.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame confirmed that Collins is being inducted as a solo artist in the 2026 class alongside Oasis, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Sade, Luther Vandross, and Wu-Tang Clan. The ceremony is scheduled for Saturday, November 14, 2026, in Los Angeles, California. It will debut on ABC and Disney+ in December.
This marks Collins’ second induction into the Rock Hall. He was previously enshrined in 2010 as a member of Genesis. Ultimate Classic Rock noted that Collins shared his reaction on social media following the announcement. The announcement was made live on ABC and Disney+ during an American Idol episode hosted by Ryan Seacrest and Lionel Richie.
The Manchester band Oasis qualifies for induction after meeting the 25-year rule from their first recording. They have also received prior nominations. Their inclusion in the same ceremony as Collins creates an unprecedented situation where the two parties involved in one of rock music’s most publicized feuds will share the same stage.
Ultimate Classic Rock reported that Collins is highly unlikely to perform at the ceremony due to chronic health issues including nerve damage and type 2 diabetes. His last live performance was on March 26, 2022, with Genesis. This marked the end of an era for the legendary drummer and vocalist who has sold 34 million albums in the U.S. alone and won eight Grammy Awards throughout his illustrious career.
