Collins wins Johnny Mercer award

The singer, who has sold over 100 million records as a solo artist and with the band Genesis, said writing a popular track is "a complete accident". This year's inducted songwriters included Leonard Cohen, Jackie DeShannon, David Foster, and R&B band Earth Wind and Fire.

Singer Taylor Swift received the Hal David starlight award. Speaking on the red carpet, Collins said: "For a songwriter, it's a huge honour. I was very surprised when I got the news."
