Phil Collins played his last-ever show with Genesis over the weekend, and one person who was cheering him on was his daughter, Lily Collins.

The Emily in Paris star paid tribute to her dad after attending the final gig of the band's Last Domino? world tour, which took place at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday (26 March).

Taking to Instagram, she shared a number of photos and a clip from the concert, while saying the night 'marks the end of an era'.

She wrote: "To have witnessed this last show was truly the memory of a lifetime and an event I shall hold in my heart forever.

"Endlessly grateful doesn't begin to do it justice. So much love was left on that O2 stage and an even bigger amount shared between an audience who didn't want it to end."

Lily ended the message by sharing her gratitude for her dad and the band, adding: "Thank you @genesis_band for the memories, thank you dad for being such an inspiration and thank you @nic_collins for making me the proudest sister there is.

"50 years of songs later and still generations more to celebrate you long after this tour has finished..."

Genesis, whose members include the 71-year-old drummer alongside Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks, had a good run, having formed all the way back in 1967.

Their 70s lineup including Collins on drums, Peter Gabriel on vocals and Steve Hackett on guitar is widely considered to be one of the leading bands in progressive rock music.

Collins announced his departure from the industry amid ongoing health struggles, including a back surgery that left him unable to hold a drumstick.

Although he was unable to play his signature instrument at the final show on Saturday, he instead sang and cracked a joke about the situation.

The 71-year-old told the crowd: "It's the last stop of our tour, and it's the last show for Genesis. After tonight we all have to get real jobs."
