GENESIS are reuniting for a UK tour — 13 years after they last performed live.

Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford, all 69, will announce their comeback on the Radio 2 breakfast show on Wednesday morning.

They will perform in multiple arenas across the UK in November and December with tickets going on sale later this month.

But Peter Gabriel, 70, is not expected to be involved in the series of shows.

The group hinted at the news yesterday by posting a photo on their official Instagram account with the caption: “And then there were three.”

The English rock band has sold more than 100million records worldwide since releasing their debut From Genesis to Revelation in 1969.

They have also scored 21 UK Top 40 hits and six No1 albums.

But the group, whose 15th studio album Calling All Stations was released in 1997, have not performed together since 2007 when they marked their 40th anniversary.

In 2018, Phil said his one condition for returning to the band would be if his son Nicholas joined as their drummer, as he can no longer play the instrument due to nerve damage.

He said at the time: “I can’t imagine what it would be like if I didn’t play the drums, but anything is possible.

“I haven’t really said it to Tony and Mike.

“I did mention to Tony very quietly if we did anything again it would be with Nic on drums.”

Nicholas, 18, played with his father for his Not Dead Yet shows in 2018, which was his first live tour in a decade.

On the prospect of a reunion last year, Mike said: “We’re all fit and healthy and we get on well, (we’re) good friends.

“I mean, you never know.”
