Last week Twitter went into overdrive when Phil Collins said he never planned on making new music again. This was hardly a revelation. "I'm getting near the point where I'm quite happy to write songs and never release them," Collins told Rolling Stone in 2007. "I have this new theory that really the most fun is writing it and recording it, doing it yourself, which is what I do at home, and really the act of putting it out as a record is just a self-gratifying thing that we've gotten used to doing. Usually what happens is I put a record out and I get beaten over the head with it by the critics, and I just think, 'What's the point?'"

Here's a look back at the classic Genesis video for "Land Of Confusion." Phil's unlikely to tour solo again, but he always says that if Peter Gabriel ever agrees he'd be happy to play drums on a short Genesis reunion tour. That may seem unlikely now that a dislocated vertebra in Phil's neck has left him largely unable to play the drums. "If it's a cold day I

Soul Asylum has performed consistently in the last few years, but the group hasn't issued a new studio album since 2006's The Silver Lining. That should change this year, as the band - which features longtime members Dave Pirner and Dan Murphy, alongside bassist Tommy Stinson and drummer Michael Bland - say they're getting ready to release their still-untitled 10th studio album.

"I just sent some music out to the rest of the guys," Pirner tells Rolling Stone. "I'm waiting to hear back. At that point, we'll go about finishing up." Song titles for some of the completed tracks include "Gravity," "Into the Light" and "The Streets." And according to Pirner, the completed album should arrive "within the next six months."

The album will likely also include contributions from sometime fill-in bassist Pete Donnelly (who is a multi-instrumentalist and plays with Soul Asylum when Stinson's gig with Guns N' Roses heats up from time to time), and a label should be announced shortly.

The new issue of Rolling Stone - on stands and in the digital archives now - has an exclusive excerpt from Sammy Hagar's new book Red: My Uncensored Life In Rock. In the book Hagar reveals what a mess Eddie Van Halen was when he first met with the guitarist to discuss a reunion tour in 2004. "He finally invited me over to this giant, extravagant house that he and Valerie had built before she split," Hagar writes. "It looked like vampires lived there. There were bottles and cans all over the floor. The handle was broken off the refrigerator door. There were spider webs everywhere."

Eddie also told Hagar how he cured his tongue cancer. "He told me he cured himself by having pieces of his tongue liquified and injected into his body," Hagar wrote. "He also told me when he had his hip replacement, he stayed awake through the operation and helped the doctors drill a hole. What a fruitcake."
