    Phil is such a genuine, 'what you see is what you get' person, and his singing voice still sounds the same as it did in the 80's....

    No offence meant at all to Phil, but I genuinely thought this was Gary Glitter when I saw that bald head & chin beard combo. Again, not saying this to be rude, but it's maybe not the best look to sport.
