EXCLUSIVE: Phil Collins Death Fears Grow as 'Crippled' Drummer Vows to Keep Working Amid Brutal Health Fights
Collins’ inner circle fears his comeback dreams could come at a brutal cost.
Phil Collins has sparked fresh fears over his declining health after the “crippled” music legend admitted he still wants to keep working despite years of debilitating medical problems that forced him to retire from touring and drumming.
Collins, 75, the former Genesis frontman and one of the most successful solo artists of the 1980s and 1990s, revealed during a candid new interview he continues to think about returning to music from his home studio – even after officially stepping away from live performances following Genesis’ farewell tour in 2022.
The singer and drummer has endured years of spinal injuries, nerve damage, multiple surgeries and worsening mobility issues, while earlier this year he confirmed he now requires a 24-hour live-in nurse and continues to battle kidney problems linked to previous alcohol use.
