We told you a little bit about this in yesterday's digest but Gibson has some details today: Genesis frontman Phil Collins says that his R&B covers album, Going Back, will be his last album. His next project? A book about his large collection of Alamo and Texas Revolution artifacts, according to Billboard.com."It's a huge collection of memorabilia from the Alamo and before and after it, basically the Texas Revolution in general," said Collins, who was first inspired by Texas history as a child after watching the Walk Disney film, Davy Crockett. "It's basically the history of all the things I've collected and putting them in the context of the revolution. It's in progress and it's entertaining." The book's deadline is mid-2011, and Collins plans for it to be out in 2012. It will feature his collection of weapons, clothing, armaments and documents, including one signed by Alamo survivor and former San Antonio mayor John W. Smith. - more on this story
