From Lousersound.
A Mexican church has unveiled the largest statue of the baby Jesus in the world… and it looks a lot like an 80s-era Phil Collins.
The New York Post report that the massive sculpture stands at almost 22ft tall and weighs 2000lbs and has been placed at La Epifania del Señor church in the Mexican state of Zacatecas.
Local priest Humberto Rodriguez says: “There is a space of between 26ftt between the ceiling and the floor and I ordered a statue measuring 21ft, but I never intended to make it the biggest baby Jesus statue in the world.”
En la iglesia “La EpifanÍa del Señor” de #Zacatecas tienen una estatua enorme del “Niño Dios” ¿O de Phil Collins?
As for the likeness to the former Genesis star, Rodriguez wouldn’t say.
Apparently, the previous record holder for the biggest baby Jesus statue was 16ft tall and weighed 661lbs.
It’s reported that Rodriguez has contacted the Guinness World Records to claim the title.
Tomorrow (November 22), Collins will reissue his fourth solo album …But Seriously to celebrate its 30th anniversary.
The new version will arrive through Rhino Records and will be limited to just 1000 double LP sets, with the 12-track follow-up to 1985’s No Jacket Required pressed on turquoise vinyl.

GENESIS Abacab (Set of Four UK 10-track vinyl LPs. The eleventh studio album by the British progressive rock band, released in 1981 and reached the top of the UK album charts, remaining in the charts for 27 weeks. In the US, the album sold over two million copies, and was certified double platinum by the RIAA. What we have here are four copies of the same album but with the different variant coloured sleeves, all complete with picture inners. Each sleeve does show a little minor shelfwear in places with the vinyl showing minimal signs of play but all appear in excellent condition. A superb rare opportunity to own all variants of this classic in one swoop!)
