Phil Collins has announced his live return, confirming a five-show stay at London's Royal Albert Hall for 2017, as well as French and German gigs, NME reports.

News of the 'Not Dead Yet Live' tour was announced at a press conference held at the venue, which featured a Q&A hosted by Jools Holland.

Collins retired from playing live in 2002, citing injuries to his back and arms caused by years of playing drums. He went on a brief reunion tour with Genesis in 2007, but has since been absent from performing concerts.

Now Collins has confirmed a five night stay at the Royal Albert Hall for next June. He will also play two shows at Cologne's Lanxess Arena and Paris' Accors Hotel Arena. Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday (October 21).
