Living the rock star life can cost you millions – especially if you are Paul McCartney and Phil Collins.
Earlier this year Heather Mills reportedly received $45.37 million from her divorce settlement from McCartney. Now, according to E! News, Orianne Cevey has joined the multi-millionaire ex-wives club by receiving $46.68 million from her divorce from Phil Collins.
Collins, 57, and Cevey, 35, were married for seven years before separating in 2006. The pair have two children together, sons Nicolas, 8, and Matthew, 4.
GENESIS keyboardist TONY BANKS used to tease bandmate PHIL COLLINS in a bid to bring the frontman down to earth.
Banks admits he and fellow bandmembers, including guitarist MIKE RUTHERFORD, were often envious of Collins’ Grammy and Academy Award success, but made fun of the star to avoid resentment.
He says, “No matter how strong your friendship, there is rivalry too. You feel that he’s transcended the band and you wonder what effect it’s going to have.
“We carried on joking about how short he is – and that defused it completely.”
Collins left Genesis in 1996 to focus on his solo career, during which he released hits AGAINST ALL ODDS, SUSSUDIO and ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE.
