PHIL Collins, Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks are to reunite as Genesis for their first tour in more than a decade.

The rock band, who known for songs including I Can't Dance, Turn It On Again and That's All, will tour the UK and Ireland in November and December.

The tour, named The Last Domino?, will be the outfit's first time on the road since their Turn It On Again world tour 13 years ago in 2007.

The trio, all aged 69, will be joined by Collins' 18-year-old son Nicholas on drums and long-standing associate Daryl Stuermer on guitar and bass.

Collins, who has historically provided both drums and vocals, is thought to be unable to play the instrument due to a nerve problem.

Peter Gabriel, one of the group's founding members, will not be taking part.

Collins, guitarist Rutherford and keyboard player Banks made up the band's most successful and long-lasting line-up during the late 70s, 80s and early 90s.

They appeared on the Zoe Ball Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2 to announce their return.

Back in January, the trio were spotted together at a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, sparking rumours of a reunion.

Their return will no doubt spark rumours of a potential performance at this summer's Glastonbury Festival.

Genesis formed at Charterhouse boarding school in Godalming, Surrey, in 1967.

Collins took over singing with the band when Gabriel left in 1975, before departing for a solo career himself, saying he needed "to change direction in my musical life".

Collins then enjoyed a successful solo career, recording hits including In The Air Tonight and Another Day In Paradise among many others.
