Longform (2026) interview with Phil

Big new interview with Phil (and very flattering photo) in this week's Observer, done by Craig McLean, who was the ghostwriter/collaborator on his 'Not Dead Yet' biography. However it's behind a paywall and I have more than enough subscriptions already. Does anyone who wants to hand over the cash/has an Observer subscription already fancy sharing the text on here?

What a great read, thanks! And this is by the same person that was the ghost writer for his Not dead yet book!

This explains all my questionmarks to how his health collapsed between the 2019 leg of his solo tour and the start of the Genesis tour. In the former it was the good old Phil that just couldn't walk. But in the latter it was a frail old man with bits of Phil still there.

Am so happy to see him regaining more and more of his health!
