Genesis

Why They Split: The band survived the departure of Peter Gabriel in 1975, and against all odds became a much bigger band. That luck didn't hold when Phil Collins walked after the hugely successful We Can't Dance album and tour in 1992. They brought in new singer Ray Wilson, but their 1997 LP Calling All Stations tanked hard and they split after a brief European tour.

Last Performance: Peter Gabriel called a band meeting to discuss a reunion tour in the 2004, but he quickly changed his mind when he realized how much time it would entail. With him out of the picture, the three man line-up of Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Michael Rutherford decided to go on a reunion tour in 2007. It packed stadiums and arenas all over the world, but Phil Collins had no interest in carrying on any further. 

Odds Of A Reunion: Soon after the 2007 tour ended, Phil Collins developed physical problems that made it very difficult for him to play drums. That doesn't bode well for a reunion tour with Peter Gabriel. Neither does Peter's complete disinterest in such a tour, which he explained to us at great length the last time we spoke. "I won't say never ever," he said.  "But it's in the outside department of the betting shop." We'll translate that into a 15% chance.
