How Phil Collins Got Eric Clapton to Play on 'I Wish It Would Rain Down'
@officialphilcollinsPhil Collins released “I Wish It Would Rain Down” as a single on this day in 1990. The song features Eric Clapton on guitar. “I said 'Eric, have I never asked you to play? Come on, I've got a song right up your street.' And I actually did. When I wrote 'I Wish It Would Rain Down' it was as close as I got to the blues, I felt. I just knew that he'd wail away on it and he came down here and did. It was great. - Phil, 2016. This track, along with many other career-defining hits are featured on Phil Collins’ “The Singles”. #PhilCollins #EricClapton #80sMusic #90sMusic

And I've still got them. And he still says I should show them to him 'cause he probably doesn't remember half the stuff."
Collins also spoke about Clapton in 2016, right when Phil was in the midst of reissuing all his solo albums. "I had Eric come down to the studio to re-record the [Face Value] song, 'The Roof Is Leaking,'" Collins told Digital Trends. "And I missed the plot there — I lost the plot, really."
Phil Collins retired from performing in 2022 due to ongoing health issues. In 2007, Collins suffered a spinal injury that caused nerve damage. He's living with "foot drop," an underlying neurological problem that requires him to walk with a cane.
