Where do you start? ! Steve
Hackett joined the band, replacing Anthony Phillips and in 1975 Peter
Gabriel left Genesis to pursue a solo career and has been phenomenally
successful. Hackett left to pursue a solo career in 1977 after the Wind
and Wuthering album. Genesis remained a core three piece (their 1978 album
wonderfully called "...and then there were three"....) and went on to
become one of the world's biggest bands and whilst huge
played Friars
again in 1980 creating the biggest demand in Friars history. Genesis were
still filling stadiums until 1992. Collins officially left in 1995, with
him enjoying huge solo success alongside his Genesis commitments. Banks
and Rutherford soldiered on with Ray Wilson from Stiltskin, but after one
album called it a day. The core trio reunited in 2007 and proved they
could still fill stadiums. Rumours still persist that a reunion with
Hackett and Gabriel is on the cards (having not been able to do it in
2007)
John Mayhew died in 2009. Anthony Phillips has kept himself busy in music
