“I’ve thought this through... I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt here, and assuming he doesn’t really think I’m the antichrist”: Phil Collins thinks he might know why Noel Gallagher called him “the antichrist of music” back in the ‘90s

English drummer, singer, songwriter, and former member of the rock band Genesis, Phil Collins performs onstage at the Joe Louis Arena during the first show of the band's Invisible Touch Tour, on September 18, 1986, in Detroit, Michigan.

With both Phil Collins and Oasis set to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame later this year, the former Genesis frontman has been reflecting on his somewhat rocky relationship with the Gallagher brothers, and the potential for an awkward meeting with them at the ceremony.

It was Noel Gallagher who, back in the ‘90s, referred to Collins as “the antichrist of music,” and said that he hoped to have his “severed head in my fridge by the end of the decade”. In response, Collins described Oasis as “rude, horrible… and not as talented as they think.”
