- For the 18th-century London cabinet-maker, see Ince
and Mayhew.
John Mayhew was the third drummer
(percussion, vocals) for the progressive rock band Genesis
(September 1969 - July 1970). He replaced previous drummer, John
Silver in August 1969 . He appears on the album Trespass
as well as the Genesis Archive 1967-75
box set. He was replaced in 1970 by Phil
Collins.
For many years Mayhew's post-Genesis life was a mystery to
most fans. It was said that his Trespass
royalty check had gone unclaimed, and there was speculation that he was
dead or missing. In 1979 he moved to Australia, where he eventually
found work as a carpenter (he is now an Australian citizen).
In 1989 he briefly returned to England to visit his ailing mother. In
2006 he attended the Genesis Convention in London (along with Anthony
Phillips and Steve Hackett), even playing
drums for a tribute band's performance of "The Knife" (from Trespass).
