Phil Collins' Swiss wife gets record divorce settlement

UK rock star Phil Collins has reportedly paid out £25m to his ex-wife, smashing former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney's current record as the heftiest divorce settlement in the British entertainment industry.

The Genesis drummer and singer paid Swiss-born Orianne Cevey an estimated £25m, according to The Press Association, topping McCartney's £24.3m payout to Heather Mills after a messy split this year.
