Genesis to reveal 2007 plans in November

Though the BBC reported last week that popular prog-rockers Genesis will reunite next year, fans will need to wait a couple more weeks for the band to unveil its specific plans.

"An official announcement about the band's plans for 2007 will be made on Tuesday, 7th November," reads a terse message on the band's official website. "Full details will be made available FIRST on this site at a time to be confirmed.

"No further information will be supplied until that date and we respectfully ask that people desist from sending emails, letters and making phone calls for advance information--this will NOT be provided until the official date. Thank you for your patience until then."

Reports out of the UK say that frontman/drummer Phil Collins , guitarist Mike Rutherford and keyboardist Tony Banks are planning a reunion tour next year. Original Genesis singer Peter Gabriel , who exited Genesis in 1975, won't be involved.

"I think Tony, Mike and Phil are rehearsing now, just checking out whether they want to do something together," Gabriel said on a video blog posted this month on his website. "I'm not involved in this round, or this year, so I just wanted to make that clear. I haven't ruled out the possibility of something in the future, but right now I'm going to focus on my own work."

Collins left the group 10 years ago to focus on his solo career.
