Collins was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2010 with Genesis.

The Class of 2026 will be named in late April and inducted in the fall. An international jury of over 1,200 musicians, historians, and music business professionals will choose the inductees, together with a fan vote on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame website.
