Is This Really Phil Collins?

click for larger

I may be wrong, but it doesn't look like Phil Collins to me. ( story here) It may just be a bad picture or it may be another example of sheer ignorance and lazyness in the MSM

What do you think?

Now this looks like Phil Collins to me.



EDIT : The article has now been updated with a more approprate picure i.e one that is actually of the Ex-Genesis drummer Phil Collins and not some other person.

Remember Sub-editors , It takes a second to hit publish, but the legend of your stupidity will live on in the Interwebs for an eternity.

  1. No, I'd have to say that top one doesn't look very much like him at all.

    Check the bridge of his nose - there's a distinct 'bump' absent in the bottom photo. The earlobes look wider too.

  2. Yep the Telegraph now agrees with you and I as well and have removed the picture.

    (The first picture however rings a bell and I'm fairly sure it involved something nasty either as victim or perpetrator, but I can't track it down)

  7. Don't know why you removed it , but I can top it.

    In my first job as a barman, the pub pool team contained
    Roger Moore
    Paul Newman
    and Omar Sheriff

    and I once worked as a broker with a James Mason and a Clive Anderson
