 Phil Collins
In an interview with The Times, Collins said he had no plans to tour again and that any future writing was unlikely to become an album.
Unusually, the former Genesis star chose to make his announcement by reciting the lines of a famous Basil Fawlty sketch.
The interview quotes Collins as saying he is more interested in his collection of memorabilia from the Battle Of The Alamo than music.
Collins said: "It's not that unusual for a man of my age, who grew up reading Davy Crockett."
Collins was speaking ahead of his appearance on Sky Arts TV series 'Songbook'.
He re-ignited an old feud with Noel Gallagher. The Oasis man famously said ahead of the 2005 general election: "Vote Labour, if you don't and the Tories get in, (Collins) is threatening to come back from Switzerland, and none of us want that.
Collins said of the comment: "I don't care if he likes my music or not. I do care if he starts telling people I'm a wanker because of my politics. It's an opinion based on an old misunderstood quote."
