English soft-rocker Phil Collins, one of the most successful artists of the 1980s, will briefly put retirement on hiatus with a charity concert in Miami Beach.
The former Genesis singer will put on an "intimate acoustic" show in the Florida city on December 12, the Little Dreams Foundation said Wednesday.
Collins will also be the master of ceremonies for the gala of the Little Dreams Foundation, a charity founded by the singer and his ex-wife Orianne that raises money for disadvantaged young people who want to pursue talents in the arts and sports.
The concert would be the first for the 64-year-old Collins since he announced his retirement in 2011.
He had previously been scheduled to perform at the foundation's gala in December 2014 but canceled at the last minute, citing health problems that affected his voice.
With a series of hits that included "One More Night," "Against All Odds" and "A Groovy Kind of Love," Collins has sold more than 100 million albums as a solo artist and another 150 million with Genesis.
Next month Collins will start reissuing newly mastered editions of his albums, starting with 1981's "Face Value."
Collins' last album of original material was "Testify" in 2002 but he has worked on other projects including writing songs for the Broadway musical "Tarzan."
