Chris Collingwood
Chris Collingwood (born October 3, 1967) is an American singer, songwriter, and artist. He is best known as the lead vocalist and founding member of the power pop band Fountains of Wayne.
Collingwood was born on October 3, 1967, in Great Britain, and grew up in Sellersville, Pennsylvania.
He graduated from The Hill School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, and then attended Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, where he met future Fountains of Wayne bandmate Adam Schlesinger. The two collaborated several times prior to forming Fountains of Wayne in 1995.
In 1995, Collingwood and Schlesinger formed Fountains of Wayne. They recorded one album, Fountains of Wayne, before recruiting Jody Porter and Brian Young in 1997.
Though Collingwood and Schlesinger shared cowriter credit for all original Fountains of Wayne material, for most of their career together, they wrote their songs separately. The band was nominated for a Grammy Award for their song "Stacy's Mom", in 2004, which charted at number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100.
In 2006, the band was touring in Tokyo, Japan, when Collingwood experienced a mental breakdown. Prior to his breakdown, he had been experiencing hallucinations for two days, and was sleep deprived and mentally unstable to the point that he did not believe he was actually in Japan. The performance was cancelled, and Collingwood spent time recovering in hospitals in both Japan and the United States. He later recalled the event, saying:
Every town you go to, they want there to be a party and everywhere you go, there's free liquor...You end up turning your entire tour into a party. When we were in Japan in 2006, I hadn't slept in four, five days and started hallucinating in Tokyo. I ended up going to the hospital and they were pumping me full of sedatives to put me to sleep. It happens to meth heads – not sleeping, seeing shadow people and having horrific hallucinations. Nothing ever scared me more than just not being able to control my own brain or trust what I'm seeing, hearing or feeling.
After many years as an alcoholic, Collingwood became sober by 2011. He would become more involved in the production of their album, Sky Full of Holes, although, it would end up being the hardest for the group to make, collectively:
