In 2009, Gabriel recorded ''[[Scratch My Back]]'', an album of cover songs by various artists including [[David Bowie]], [[Lou Reed]], [[Arcade Fire]], [[Radiohead]], [[Regina Spektor]] and [[Neil Young]]. The original concept was for Gabriel to cover an artists' song if they, in turn, covered one of his for an album simultaneously released as ''I'll Scratch Yours'', but several participants later declined or were late to deliver and it was placed on hold.<ref name="telegraph.co.uk">{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/10301880/Peter-Gabriel-interview.html|title=Peter Gabriel, interview|website=The Daily Telegraph |access-date=29 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305142157/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/10301880/Peter-Gabriel-interview.html|archive-date=5 March 2016|url-status=live|date=12 September 2013|last=McNulty|first=Bernadette}}</ref> Gabriel avoided using drums and guitar in favour of orchestral arrangements, and altered his usual songwriting method by finishing the vocals first and then the song, for which he collaborated with [[John Metcalfe (composer)|John Metcalfe]].<ref name="NYT10">{{cite web |last=Pareles |first=Jon |author-link=Jon Pareles |date=1 March 2010 |title=Peter Gabriel Says, 'I'll Sing Yours, You Sing Mine' |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/02/arts/music/02gabriel.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190623145854/https://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/02/arts/music/02gabriel.html |archive-date=23 June 2019 |access-date=23 June 2019 |work=The New York Times}}</ref> Released in February 2010, ''Scratch My Back'' reached No. 12 in the UK. Gabriel toured worldwide with the New Blood Tour from March 2010 to July 2012 with a 54-piece orchestra and his daughter [[Melanie Gabriel|Melanie]] and Norwegian singer-songwriter [[Ane Brun]] on backing vocals. The follow-up, ''[[And I'll Scratch Yours]]'', was released in September 2013.

During the New Blood Tour, Gabriel decided to expand on the ''Scratch My Back'' concept and, with Metcalfe's assistance, re-record a collection of his own songs with an orchestra. The result, ''[[New Blood (Peter Gabriel album)|New Blood]]'', was released in October 2011.<ref name=Q11>{{cite web|url=https://thequietus.com/articles/07003-peter-gabriel-interview|title=An Invasion of Privacy: Peter Gabriel Interviewed|first=John|last=Doran|work=The Quietus|date=19 September 2011|access-date=23 June 2019|archive-date=9 July 2017|archive-url=https://archive.today/20170709052222/http://thequietus.com/articles/07003-peter-gabriel-interview|url-status=live}}</ref>

In September 2012, Gabriel kicked off his [[Back to Front Tour]] which featured ''So'' (1986) performed in its entirety with the original musicians who played on the album, to mark its 25th anniversary.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://petergabriel.com/media/article/2668/peter-announces-north-american-tour-back-to-front-to-celebrate-25th-anniversary-of-so/ |title=Peter Announces North American Tour 'Back To Front' To Celebrate 25th Anniversary of 'So' |publisher=Peter Gabriel |access-date=16 September 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120923235607/http://petergabriel.com/media/article/2668/peter-announces-north-american-tour-back-to-front-to-celebrate-25th-anniversary-of-so/ |archive-date=23 September 2012 |url-status=live }}</ref> When the opening leg finished a month later, Gabriel took one year off to travel the world with his children.<ref name=TG12>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/jul/26/peter-gabriel-30-years-womad|title=Peter Gabriel on 30 years of Womad – and mixing music with politics|work=The Guardian|first=Dorian|last=Lynskey|date=26 July 2012|access-date=23 June 2019|archive-date=19 April 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170419075048/https://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/jul/26/peter-gabriel-30-years-womad|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.planetrock.com/news/rock-news/peter-gabriel-to-take-a-year-off/ |title=Peter Gabriel To Take A Year Off &#124; Rock News &#124; News |publisher=Planet Rock |date=5 September 2012 |access-date=16 September 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121107115910/http://www.planetrock.com/news/rock-news/peter-gabriel-to-take-a-year-off/ |archive-date=7 November 2012 |url-status=live }}</ref> The tour resumed with a European leg from September 2013 to December 2014.<ref>{{cite magazine |first=Andy |last=Greene |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/q-a-peter-gabriel-reflects-on-his-1986-landmark-album-so-20120904 |title=QA: Peter Gabriel Reflects on His 1986 Landmark Album 'So' &#124; Music News |magazine=[[Rolling Stone]] |date=4 September 2012 |access-date=16 September 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120909224036/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/q-a-peter-gabriel-reflects-on-his-1986-landmark-album-so-20120904 |archive-date=9 September 2012 |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 2014, Gabriel was inducted into the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]] as a solo artist by [[Coldplay]] frontman [[Chris Martin]]. They performed Gabriel's "Washing of the Water" together. Gabriel performed "[[Heroes (David Bowie song)|Heroes]]" by [[David Bowie]] with an orchestra at a concert in Berlin to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the fall of the [[Berlin Wall]] in November 2014.

In 2016, he was featured on the song "[[A.I.

In June 2016, Gabriel released the single "I'm Amazing". The song was written several years prior, in part as a tribute to boxer [[Muhammad Ali]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://petergabriel.com/news/new-track-im-amazing/|title=New Track – I'm Amazing|publisher=Peter Gabriel|access-date=29 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161008185350/http://petergabriel.com/news/new-track-im-amazing|archive-date=8 October 2016|url-status=live}}</ref> That month, he embarked on a joint tour with [[Sting (musician)|Sting]] titled The Rock Paper Scissors North American Tour.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://petergabriel.com/news/peter-and-sting-tour-2016/|title=Peter and Sting Tour 2016|publisher=Peter Gabriel|access-date=29 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160925140114/http://petergabriel.com/news/peter-and-sting-tour-2016/|archive-date=25 September 2016|url-status=live}}</ref>

Gabriel re-emerged in 2019 with the release of ''[[Rated PG (Peter Gabriel album)|Rated PG]]'', a compilation of songs that were created for film soundtracks throughout his career. The song selection spans over 30 years and includes tracks that had never been released on an official Gabriel album previously, including "[[Down to Earth (Peter Gabriel song)|Down to Earth]]" (from ''[[WALL-E (soundtrack)|WALL-E]]'') and "That'll Do" (from ''[[Babe: Pig in the City#Soundtrack|Babe: Pig in the City]]''), an Oscar-nominated collaboration with [[Randy Newman]]. Initially only released on vinyl for [[Record Store Day]] on 13 April, the album was eventually released on digital streaming services later that month.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://petergabriel.com/news/rated-pg-digital-release/ |title=Rated PG getting digital release |publisher=Peter Gabriel |access-date=14 September 2019 |archive-date=17 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200717042417/https://petergabriel.com/news/rated-pg-digital-release/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Later that same year, Gabriel issued another digital release on 13 September titled ''[[Flotsam and Jetsam (Peter Gabriel album)|Flotsam and Jetsam]]'', a collection of [[B-side]]s, remixes and rarities that span Gabriel's entire solo career from 1976 to 2016, including his first solo recording, a cover of [[the Beatles]]' song "[[Strawberry Fields Forever]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://petergabriel.com/news/digital-release-for-b-sides-remixes-and-rarities/|title=Digital Release for Flotsam and Jetsam|publisher=Peter Gabriel|access-date=14 September 2019|archive-date=15 October 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191015162054/https://petergabriel.com/news/digital-release-for-b-sides-remixes-and-rarities/|url-status=live}}</ref>
