In 1987, Genesis sold out Wembley Stadium four nights in a row. They were at their peak. After a brief hiatus for solo work, they returned in 1991.

In 1996, Phil Collins left Genesis. Touring members Chester Thompson and Daryl Stuermer also left. Tony Banks and Michael Rutherford decided to carry on. They settled on singer Ray Wilson to replace Collins.

The new Genesis did well in Europe, but fell flat without Collins in America. Banks and Rutherford fired Wilson and Genesis went on hiatus until 2006 when Collins rejoined. Originally, they hoped to reunite with Gabriel and Hackett as well, but plans fell through. Genesis went on tour once more as a three piece.

In 2007, VH-1 honored Genesis with their Rock Honors.

Since the reunion tour, Genesis has gone into hiatus. There has been speculation about their return ever since with band members vacillating back and forth.

In 2014, Peter Gabriel was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo performer.
