San Antonio has announced plans for a $100 million museum of Alamo artifacts named in honor of Phil Collins.

Work is scheduled to begin shortly on the museum, which will stand in honor of Collins' world-renowned collection of Alamo artifacts.

The Texas legislature reportedly also plans to pass a measure honoring Collins as an "honorary Texan."

"When I got older and became successful, I decided to spend my money on original items from the Alamo rather than on Ferraris, these artifacts are coming home."

"I would have some sadness and maybe thinking it was a mistake if it were going to a museum that didn't have any emotional contact . . . This is the best thing that could happen to it."

The state's land commissioner, Jerry Patterson, was on hand to accept the donation and seemed suitably grateful, saying, "God bless you, Phil Collins."
