In 2019, on Phil Collins' Not Dead Yet Tour, his son Nicholas joined him on stage for a breathtaking duet of You Know What I Mean.

Their duet wowed the audience, with the pair joking that this was the only one of Phil's songs that Nicholas truly enjoyed before launching into their heartfelt duet.

Nic played the piano alongside his father and added his vocals to the 1981 song. 

Watch their incredible performance below.

Nic has been performing with Phil since 2017 when he was 17 years old.

"It's not because he's the boss's son that he's playing the drums, it's because he's good enough," Phil said in an interview, explaining that Nic had been playing drums since he was a toddler.

"The band fell in love with him… suddenly it was like he knew what he was doing and wasn't in awe of the situation. I'm very pleased for him, and for me, that we get to go through this together."

Nic posted about performing with his father in 2019, saying, "This tour gave me the chance to represent all the music I grew up with.

"I've had the chance to share the stage with such remarkable musicians and they have helped me progress so much as a musician and I owe so much to them.

"I also owe so much to my dad. He made this all happen and was impeccable from start to finish. To be able to look back on this period of my life and the memories I got to share with my old man is incredible."
