"I'm flattered that they've expressed the interest publicly, risking their careers in doing so," Contactmusic quoted him as telling Rolling Stone magazine."Anything is possible and I certainly would investigate doing that if I did think about doing something," he added.

"I'm flattered that they've expressed the interest publicly, risking their careers in doing so," No, Phil, it is you who will be risking your career. Akon is the same guy who dry humped a 14 year old girl on stage AND threw another 15 year old boy off the stage causing another girl a concussion. Phil Collins must be greedy or in financial trouble. Or just plain stupid. I for one have lost all respect, and I mean ALL, for him as a musician and as a human being.
