Phil Collins admitted that he was a little worried before both his Live Aid concerts in the United Kingdom and the United States.
The 75-year-old English singer, drummer, songwriter, record producer and actor gave an interview to the BBC, where he talked about his 1985 Live Aid concerts in the United Kingdom and the United States in one day.
“I remember it very well,” Collins told the outlet, adding that someone suggested he “do both” by flying on the Concorde, a new type of supersonic plane that could fly from London to New York in just three hours.
“And I said, ‘Yeah, OK,'” one more night Croner missed the mark, but made sure he didn’t become the only one making the trip.
“And I said, ‘I’m not the only person doing that, okay? Because that would seem pretentious,’ and he said, ‘No, no, no. The power stations are in America and Duran Duran, some of the same members, they’re working in London.’ So I said, ‘Uh, sure,'” he said.
It is worth mentioning that Phil Collins succeeded, as he performed at London’s Wembley Arena, then flew to New York and boarded another helicopter to reach Philadelphia for his second show in a day.
