GENESIS: Everything new
A brightly made-up face in ultraviolet light. A band in front of a bizarrely lit stage backdrop. A singer who transforms from song to song, as a fox, as a rose, as Britannia, as an old man. Who flies into the stage sky at the end with thunder and lightning. That is Genesis as you all know them. But you will never see them again like they are on these pages.
<<Wait, I still have to shave!>> calls Peter Gabriel, as POP photographer
Count Bob Ellis unpacks his cameras. With his right hand he sadly runs his hand over the bush that has grown around his chin in the last few weeks. "It's a shame, actually, a beard like that is pretty comfortable."
We drove for four and a half hours from London to Wales. There, in the rural west of England, Genesis are hiding on a remote farm. They want to work undisturbed for ten weeks and prepare for the next tour.
Surrounded by nature and away from the hustle and bustle of London, they are gaining new energy and new ideas. <<<<Our hermitage is good for us," reveals Peter Gabriel after the photo procedure is completed. "We have already written so many new songs that there are enough for a double album. It is due to be released at the end of October. It is called (Lamb Lies Down on Broadway) and is the story of a little Puerto Rican in New York who dreams of his future."
The five musicians are also working on a completely new show in their country house. <<<It will be a real surprise," grins Peter mysteriously, "and I won't give anything away yet. But I can say this much: We have developed a completely new concept and are no longer using anything from our old show. And our fans in Germany will be the first to experience the new Genesis. Because that's where our new show will premiere next year!>>>>
This photo is a rarity: Peter Gabriel with a beard in the group's country house. Here Genesis performs their new songs.
