The Not Dead Yet Tour (also known as Not Dead Yet Live! and Still Not Dead Yet Live!) was a concert tour by English recording artist Phil Collins, named after his autobiography released on 25 October 2016.
The tour grossed $202.6 million from 88 shows and was attended by more than 1.54 million people.
Background
Collins announced the tour on 17 October 2016 at a press conference held at the Royal Albert Hall in London. The tour included five concerts at the venue, and five each at the Lanxess Arena in Cologne and at the AccorHotels Arena in Paris. On 8 November 2016, news of Collins's headline spot at a concert at London's Hyde Park was announced. On 16 December 2016, it was announced that Collins would play at Dublin's Aviva Stadium on Sunday 25 June 2017. On 27 February 2017, it was announced that Collins would play at Liverpool's Echo Arena on Friday 2 June 2017. On 8 June 2017, it was announced that Collins's cancelled concerts on 8 and 9 June would be rearranged for 26 and 27 November. The two concerts had been cancelled after Collins had tripped over a step in the bedroom of his London hotel (and had been taken to hospital) following a concert at the Royal Albert Hall on 7 June.
Due to ongoing nerve problems with his hands, this was the first tour where Collins did not play drums at any point in the show. Instead, he employed his son Nicholas to handle all drum parts. However, Collins did use a cajón during later parts of the tour.
