Phil Collins has been announced as one of the nominees for this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class, and if selected, his induction could go down in history.

Collins was previously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010 as part of the British rock band Genesis. This time, Collins is nominated as a solo artist, and if selected, he would become the fourth drummer to ever be inducted twice.
He would join the ranks of Matt Cameron, who was inducted with Pearl Jam in 2017 and Soundgarden in 2025, as well as Ringo Starr, inducted as a member of The Beatles in 1988 and for Musical Excellence as a solo artist in 2015, plus Dave Grohl, who first received the honor as the drummer for Nirvana in 2014 and later with Foo Fighters in 2021.

Many of Collins' fans insist that it's about time he was nominated for his solo career, with several users online insisting that he should have been inducted for the second time years ago.
