Phil Collins recalls performing in UK and US in a day

Phil Collins admitted that he was a bit concerned ahead of 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 BBC, where he opened up about his 1985 Live Aid concerts in a day in the United Kingdom and the United States.

Collins told the outlet, “I remember it very well,” adding that someone suggested he “do both” by flying on Concorde, a new type of supersonic plane that could fly from London to New York in just three hours.

“And I said, ‘Yeah, okay,'" the One More Night crooner recollected, but he made sure that he did not become the only person to make the trip.

“And I did say, ‘I'm not the only person doing it, right? Cuz that’ll look like showing off,' and they said, 'No, no, no. Power Station are in America and Duran Duran, some of the same members, they're doing London.' So I said, ‘Uh, sure,’’ he said.

It is pertinent to mention that Phil Collins became successful, as he performed at London's Wembley Arena, then flew to New York and hopped on another helicopter to reach Philadelphia for his second show in a day.
