UPCOMING EPISODES

One of the biggest bands of the 20th century, Genesis, sold over 100 million albums worldwide. But the story is as remarkable for the band’s success as it is for their extraordinary transformation- from cult prog rockers to pop-rock superstars. Along the way the band launched the careers of two of the most successful solo artists of all time; Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins. 'Breaking the Band' will follow the meteoric journey from Genesis’s early beginnings in a sleepy part of England to sell-out global tours and chart-topping success, wallpapering a decade with their iconic sound. Combining high-end stylised drama reconstruction, extensive archive and revealing interviews from those who were there, we'll chart the incredible journey and see how power struggles, solo superstardom, jealousy and personal tragedy led to the band’s downfall at the peak of its powers.

Pink Floyd sold over 250 million albums. They are among the most successful rock bands of all time. Their album, Dark Side Of The Moon, stayed in the charts for 18 years. It made them global superstars. That record, like the four that followed it, was the brainchild of one band member. He became so convinced Pink Floyd’s success was only down to him, that he tried to bury the band so he could prosper alone. But they survived, and their music eclipsed his solo work. Thirty years later he still tours the music he made with them. ‘Pink Floyd: Breaking The Band’ reveals the story of this legendary band.
