Phil Collins may never have played Grand Theft Auto (he still hasn't!), but that doesn't mean he's out of place in GTA: Vice City. To give that 80s Member's Only feel to the game, Collins has lent his likeness and tunes to the PSP title. In-game, he appears as himself (a GTA celeb guest first!) and bangs out his most famous song "In the Air Tonight." Vice City's Vic Vance has to protect Phil from assassins. But, there must be something deeper to bring Phil to Rockstar's doorstep. Something. Phil tells MTV:
People think of me as a lot softer and cozier than I actually am... I'd much rather head towards the ax murderer then the guy who everyone thinks is the cozy dude, you know... It kind of annoys me a little bit that just the word 'Phil Collins' is 'working with Disney.' That just conjures up a whole bunch of things which it isn't. Disney, which is kind of a family entertainment. Phil Collins, which is kind of 'One More Night,' light stations, you know? It is part of what I've become. But it isn't actually what I am. And so, any time I can shake the cage a little bit, I will.
And even though he's also never played 50 Cent: Bulletproof, he expresses interest in appearing in the game's sequel. Just know: Phil Collins ain't no Disney softy. He's a bad ass, and he'll cut you.
