that - rumours. There will be NO live concert performances this
autumn.

the USA where it will be released on the 12th November.

This is the official announcement from Atlantic Records:

PHIL COLLINS READY TO TESTIFY - FIRST ALL-NEW ALBUM IN SIX YEARS DUE
NOV. 12
Jul 08 2002

TIME to testify! Atlantic Records has announced the release of the
much-anticipated new album from Phil Collins, entitled TESTIFY.
Slated for release on November 12th, this marks Collins's first all-
new solo album in six years, and his first new music since the 1999
release of his hugely successful soundtrack for the Walt Disney
animated feature film, Tarzan. The latter - which featured the top-
charting hit single "You'll Be In My Heart" - earned Collins the
triumphant triple crown of an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and a Grammy in
2000.

Inspired by his new marriage in 1999 and his new fatherhood in 2001,
TESTIFY is a captivating, wide-ranging collection of powerful, moving
songs - all defined by Collins's signature voice and unmistakable
musical imprint. Collins penned all but one of the songs on the
album, highlighted by such tracks as "Don't Get Me
Started", "Testify", "Driving Me Crazy" and "Least You Can Do" (co-
written by Daryl Stuermer). The collection's sole cover is Phil's
version of "Can't Stop Loving You," written by Billy Nicholls and
originally recorded by Leo Sayer in 1978.

"The songs for this album were written over the last two years," says
Collins. "Working with new toys and new tools, they pretty much wrote
themselves, and only occasionally needed nudging along. Though I used
90% of my demos, I was lucky to have a fantastic team to help me
finish the record, particularly Rob Cavallo, Allen Sides, Tim Pierce,
and James Sanger. There are some songs here that are amongst the best
I have ever written; I hope you agree. Since releasing his first solo
album just over twenty years ago, Collins has sold 100 million
records around the world (not counting his work with Genesis), earned
seven Grammy Awards, and scored an enviable string of hit singles. It
is a career which has really been many careers - drummer, singer,
composer, producer - from art rock beginnings to pop stardom, from
soundtrack master to big band leader.

In 1998, Collins's solo career to date was recapped on the multi-
million-selling HITS collection. In addition to his music for Tarzan,
1999 saw the release of A HOT NIGHT IN PARIS, a live album which
marked the debut recording by Collins's much-praised big band, the
formation of which was the fulfillment of a life-long ambition.

Last month, Phil served as the "house drummer" for the spectacular
Queen's Jubilee concert at Buckingham Palace - where he backed
everyone from Ozzy Osbourne to longtime mate Eric Clapton.
