Biography
Peter Brian Gabriel was born in Surrey, England on February, 13 1950. While attending Charterhouse school, he started the progressive rock band Genesis, which rose to prominence not only in England, but also in Italy, Belgium and Germany. The band attracted notice mostly due to flamboyant costumes, used by Gabriel on stage, and comic, sometimes dreamlike stories told as the introduction to some songs. All of this led to increased attention towards the musician from critics and fans and growing tension between the band members, which eventually resulted in singer’s departure from the band in 1975.
