Phil Collins Patrick Bateman (played by Christian Bale) portrayed as an obsessive fan who reads deep meaning into his work, especially with Genesis, while describing his solo music as "...more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way." Bateman delivers a monologue praising Collins and Genesis during a sequence in which he engages the services of two prostitutes while playing "In Too Deep" and "Sussudio". Collins twice hosted the Billboard Music Awards on television, which were produced and directed by his longtime music video and TV special collaborators, Paul Flattery and Jim Yukich of FYI (Flattery Yukich Inc). He also appeared
Phil Collins alongside Paul McCartney, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler and Sting. The Phil Collins Big Band completed a world tour in 1998 that included a performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival. In 1999 they released the CD "A Hot Night in Paris" including big band versions of "Invisible Touch", "Sussudio", and "The Los Endos Suite" from "A Trick of the Tail". His first compilation album "...Hits" was released in 1998 and sold well, returning Collins to multi-platinum status in the US. The album's one new track, a cover of the Cyndi Lauper hit "True Colors", was produced by Kenneth "Babyface"
