Peter Gabriel

Peter Gabriel is a progressive rock musician best known for being the original frontman for Genesis. After leaving to pursue a solo career he was replaced by drummer Phil Collins, much to the criticism of fans, who believed Collins turned the band into a sellout pop band despite the band already having begun its transition into a pop band by then. Gabriel's solo work was greatly successful, with four certified albums. He had numerous hit singles with Sledgehammer as a chart-topper. He received several Grammys. He was inducted by Chris Martin of Coldplay. He performed at the Woodstock silver anniversary concert.
