Another remembered: “To this day, one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to.” Career musician. Phenomenal. Nick on drums at the age of 16, just amazing. Was lucky enough to meet him on vacation in 1981 too. So gracious! I wish your father a happy birthday xxxx'.
Another added: “Happy birthday to the man, the myth and the legend ❤️❤️.”
Meanwhile, on Phil's official Instagram account, his team shared a throwback of the star, writing: “Happy birthday to the man himself, Mr. Phil Collins, who turns 73 today.”
Phil has been plagued by a number of health problems in recent years, starting with a vertebral injury in his upper back in 2009.
He sustained the injury during a show and left him with cripplingly painful nerve damage.
In the band's early formative years, Phil sat behind the drums, but in recent years he was demoted to lead singer and his son took over the role of drummer.

The musician lost feeling in his fingers after the operation and, as before, could only play drums for the band when the sticks were attached to his hands.
Phil's final performance was on March 26, 2022 alongside his Genesis bandmates at London's O2 Arena.
In his 2016 autobiography, he revealed that he struggled with alcohol abuse after his retirement, and the following year stated that he was a type 2 diabetic and had been treated in a hyperbaric chamber after a injury to his foot diabetic abscess developed and became infected.
He also suffers from a so-called dorsiflexor weakness after back surgery, which is why he needs a cane to walk.
Lily wasn't able to be with her dad on his big day as the star is currently back to filming her hit Netflix series Emily in Paris, just a year after the season three finale ended on a pretty big cliffhanger.
After a two-month delay due to Hollywood's long, contentious writers' strike, Lily shared a selfie of herself holding a script that she was reading at the table.
“Did someone say Saison Quatre?! “I'm finally reunited with my @emilyinparis family in Paris and it feels so good,” she captioned a slideshow featuring several behind-the-scenes snaps from the set.
