A rare backstage shot of Peter applying his face before going out on stage to perform ‘Solsbury Hill’, his first single after leaving Genesis in 1975. Gabriel is a classic English public school rocker, remarking of his early musical influences that hymns were the closest he came to soul music as a child. His Genesis were marked by theatricality and an experimental intellectual approach that didn’t always chime with the charts. He found success and happiness as a solo artist. His video for ‘Sledgehammer’ was voted as the best video of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. The track itself won a record 9 MTV awards.
