Stephen Richard Hackett (born
12 February 1950) is a British singer-songwriter and guitarist. He
gained prominence as a member of the British progressive rock group Genesis,
which he joined in 1970 and left in 1977 to pursue a solo career.
Hackett contributed to six Genesis studio albums, three live albums and
seven singles.
In 1986, Hackett co-founded the supergroup GTR with another progressive guitarist, Steve Howe of Yes and Asia. The group released a self-titled album that year, which peaked at #11 on the Billboard 200 in the United States and spawned the Top 20 single "When the Heart Rules the Mind". When Hackett left GTR in 1987, the group disbanded.
