Phil Collins Receives First Solo Nomination for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
Phil Collins has been nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for the first time as a solo artist, a significant milestone in his illustrious career. The announcement was made on February 25, 2026, as part of the list of 17 performers nominated for induction this fall.
Why This Nomination Matters
This nomination is particularly noteworthy as Collins has been eligible since 2006 but has not received a solo nomination until now. Previously, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2010 as a member of Genesis. His daughter, Lily Collins, expressed her pride on social media, stating, “Proud daughter moment. Congrats dad you deserve it. Love you to the moon and back.”
Phil Collins boasts an impressive array of accolades, including multiple Grammy Awards, an Oscar, and two Golden Globe Awards. He has sold over 100 million records as both a solo artist and as part of Genesis, a feat matched only by Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson.
What’s Next for Collins
Fan voting for this year’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame class is now open, with the inductees set to be announced in April 2026. The induction ceremony will take place in the fall, although an exact date has yet to be confirmed. Collins joins a list of notable nominees, including Mariah Carey, Oasis, and Iron Maiden, with ten of the nominees being first-time contenders.
