Phil Collen Quotes

I was on a plane with Joe (Elliott, Leppard singer) from Tokyo to Stockholm in 1983. I was absolutely bollocksed drunk and I tipped food all over me. It was disgusting, I stopped drinking at that point, too. As far as most people are concerned I'm almost a vegan, but I still have milk in my coffee and I eat chocolate every now and again.
