Latest News:

Peter Gabriel revealed on his official website that he and the original members of Genesis are reuniting for the first time since 1975 to take part in an upcoming documentary. The feature length documentary is being produced by the BBC and will include the participation of Gabriel, Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Steve Hackett and Mike Rutherford. A broadcast date for the film has not yet been announced.
Prog Magazine's Progressive Music Awards have announced that Peter Gabriel will be the recipient of the 2014 Prog God Award at this year's ceremony. The ceremony takes place at the prestigious Underglobe, beneath Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, on September 11, and the Prog God Award recognizes the innovators of the past 40 years. Those, without whom, the world of music would be a much poorer place – and no one is more deserving of that accolade than Peter Gabriel. Previous winners are Rick Wakeman and Ian Anderson.
