Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford of Genesis recently reunited on stage for the first time in over a decade, delivering a special moment for fans. Watch the clip below.

The last time the two shared a stage was during the 2007 Genesis reunion tour, which celebrated the band’s 40th anniversary.

During Collins’ solo concert in Berlin on June 7, the audience was treated to an unexpected reunion when Rutherford joined him to perform “Follow You Follow Me.” The beloved 1978 single was the lead track from Genesis’ ninth studio album, ‘…And Then There Were Three….’

In fan-captured footage, Rutherford greets Collins with a warm hug before picking up an acoustic guitar. As the crowd erupts into cheers, Collins playfully introduces his former bandmate, saying, “I think we’ll have it one more time – Mr. Mike Rutherford!”

Fans were thrilled to see the two legends together again. “This is pure nostalgia. Genesis isn’t done yet,” one fan wrote. Another added, “A huge and emotional moment.”

Earlier in the evening, Rutherford had performed with his band Mike + The Mechanics, who are currently supporting Collins on his solo tour.

In a 2018 interview, Collins expressed openness to a Genesis reunion, suggesting that his son Nic could take over drumming duties. “I quietly mentioned to Tony [Banks, Genesis keyboardist] that if we did anything again, it would be with Nic on drums,” Collins revealed. “He didn’t exactly say no—or maybe he didn’t hear me.”

Both Collins and Rutherford have hinted at the possibility of bringing Genesis back together, and Tony Banks has further fueled speculation by refusing to rule out a future reunion.

There were no stage lights. Just a white hospital room in New York, where Joan Baez — 84, her hair now the ashen silver of a golden era long gone — quietly stepped in, unannounced. In her hand was an old guitar. On the bed lay the man once called “the voice of a generation” — now struggling to find his own voice again. When Baez began to sing “Blowin’ in the Wind,” there was no audience but the silent walls and a nurse passing through. Dylan didn’t speak — he only mouthed the words, as if reminding himself that he was still here, even if his voice had long since slipped away. It wasn’t quite a reunion. It wasn’t exactly goodbye. It was a final hymn, shared only by the two who knew how it began — and neither knowing when, or if, it would end

Without Dylan, there would be no Springsteen. Without Springsteen, there would be no light in my world. That night in 1997, as Bruce stood under the golden glow of the Kennedy Center stage, something bigger than music echoed through the room. He didn’t just sing “The Times They Are A-Changin’”—he preached it like a man baptized in Dylan’s fire. Each verse hit like a prophecy reborn, each word a torch passed from one legend to another. The President watched. Dylan teared up. The audience sat frozen, as if history itself had paused to listen. For six glorious minutes, the American soul had a voice—and it sang in the rasp of Springsteen
