Summary
Phil Collins said his biggest career regret is seeing his three marriages fall apart, telling Piers Morgan that his work often kept him away from home.
Three U.S. tours, two European tours and a Japan run in one year with Genesis helped drive the breakdown of his first marriage, Collins said, because he was gone so often that the couple grew apart.
Five children came from those relationships, and Collins said that balance tempers his regret; he added that he always tried to be there for his kids and never expected to marry three times.
Lily Collins described forgiving her father for not always being there in her 2017 memoir, and their relationship appears repaired—she posted tributes for his 75th birthday in January and on Father's Day.
