Phil Collins and Paul McCartney have cleared the air after years of tension stemming from an awkward encounter more than two decades ago.
Collins recently explained that the two musicians spoke directly and settled their differences. The disagreement dated back to 2002, when Collins approached McCartney during celebrations for Queen Elizabeth II’s Golden Jubilee. He had brought along a first-edition Beatles book for McCartney to sign, but a comment made during the exchange left Collins feeling uncomfortable and dismissed.
The moment stayed with Collins, who later discussed it publicly and described the encounter as a source of frustration.
