British singer Phil Collins delighted Peruvian fans on Tuesday night's show by greeting them with a few phrases in Spanish, as well as performing his greatest hits in front of a full house at Lima's Jockey Club.

As is known, Collins arrived in Peru as part of his Not Dead Yet Tour involving other Latin American countries.

On the occasion, almost 20,000 fans attended the event.

Unlike his first show in the Inca country, the artist was seated in a swivel chair, from which he sang his most popular tunes. 

However, Collins —sometimes with the help of a walking stick— managed to walk around the stage. As is known, he suffers from a disease that reduces his mobility.   

During the concert, Nicola —the singer's son— played the drums and even wore a Peruvian national soccer team jersey, thus surprising fans.  

On the other hand, special guests The Pretenders joined the show. In this sense, singer Chrissie Hynde affirmed it was an "honor to play here" in Lima.
