Well, Phil does not have an email account, so your best bet is to write to him
in care of Atlantic Records in New York if you live in the US, or in care of
Virgin Records in the UK. Atlantic sends all fan letters over to his personal
business office once a week, and they are answered as soon as they are
received. Anything personal is forwarded on to Phil himself. You will see
various London addresses for him listed on the web; be aware: those are
management addresses, and they do not particularly appreciate receiving fan
mail there. You really need to avoid sending fan mail to them.

Hope this helps,

Rudi

If you live in the UK, I wouldn't write to him care of Virgin Records. He's
signed to East-West records now.

Oh, sorry. In the US Atlantic owns East-West, (it's a subsidiary) so I just
assumed Virgin did too in the UK.


Well, the rest of the advice still stands.

Well, you can, but they are the management office I mentioned in my first
post. They don't have the staff to answer fan mail, and don't really
appreciate receiving fan mail there. It's a fairly small office, dealing with
promotion and song publishing. I don't recommend sending fan mail there.

Just my opinion. :-)

I don't actually plan on sending anything anywhere but I read on some
web page that was the contact address, but I think you mentioned that
web pages had these dubious links so I'll suddup now :)
So is Phillip Collins Ltd. management or is that just so Phil doesn't
pay taxes on his expenses?

Hi Rudi and all
So you're saying that we should NOT write c/o Annie Callingham?

PC Ltd. is a publishing company. I think Phil pays taxes just like you and
me. :-)) If I understand this correctly, living in Switzerland doesn't
automatically keep you from paying taxes. I *think* you have to live there 5
years before you can even claim residency. Maybe somebody who knows the law
better than I do can help me out here.

I'm saying please don't send ANY fan mail to H&R, even if you qualify it by
saying c/o Annie Callingham. And since somebody is gonna say "Who is Annie
Callingham?" I'll tell you:she's Phil's PA (Personal Assistant). She is in
charge of anwering fan mail for him. But she would prefer you send your fan
mail to Atlantic and East-West, rather then H&R. (Hit and Run.) So would H&R. <G>

Rudi,

My father was recently diagnosed with cancer and may not have too long. I grew up listening to Mr.Collins and all I want is for him to call my father at the hospital and wish him well. Do you think I'd be wasting my time if I asked?

Hi,
I am a 'Kiwi' and just saw your interview with Melissa Davies.
She is a 'sweetie' which I guess is why you were at ease talking with her.
I noted your comment about 'Elder Statesman' and it seemed appropriate.
I recall "the Monkey-suit" revival (lol) of your music which I suspect may have played a part in Lorde's being influenced by you.
I noticed your comment about things "being thrown at you and you dodging them...." I think I need to dodge more rather than waiting 'til they hit me in the face!!!!
I also notice your comment about Music as the enemy but it is in fact your GIFT! Maybe more of a 'double-edged sword'...... That's how I see it, anyway. I have never emailed like this before but somehow the timing was right to presume upon you, lol..... Cheers and Good Luck! Angel.

Dear Phil,
You may never see this message, but I want to tell you that I played your song at my husband's funeral "since you've been gone". It was the most touching song and realistic song I ever heard. I also lost my son seven years ago to a blood disorder at the age of 24. My husband was only 66. I still have a surviving son of 36 years old and am blessed with three beautiful grandchildren. However your song was so touching and so real, I just want to thank you for producing that song. May God Bless you. I hope you are in concert again someday and would love to see you in person. May God bless your talents, you are so talented.

It has been some time since someone asked about the best method of contacting Mr. Phil Collins. Has anything changed over the years?
