After a 10-year indefinite hiatus, Genesis will reunite to do a massive tour in 2007. . If you have missed Collins and his crew as much as we have, you can order your tickets right now.Founded by Peter Gabriel and Tony Banks – who were only 15-years-old at the time – in 1965 in Surrey, England, the band eventually merged with another band, Anon, and two of their members Michael Rutherford and Anthony Phillips. The four were joined by Chris Stewart and called themselves “The New Anon.”

Together, The New Anon laid down demo tracks, the songs written by Phillips and Rutherford. The then-teenagers all attended Charterhouse School, which later proved to be valuable, for it was another Charterhouse alum, producer Jonathan King, who helped get the band into a recording studio. It was also King who changed the band’s name to Genesis.
