Sad. I grew up listening to Genesis and Phil Collins.

I’ve always loved the man’s voice. It’s very distinct and enjoyable.

Lord, keep this man safe through his trials.

I’m from the 80s, too ;-), and I’ve always enjoyed Phil’s singing. And he could keep rhythm, unlike the drummer in my band (my son) who tends to flake out and start playing something totally different. “What was that beat, Bill? The rest of us were in 4/4 ...”

“All those years on the road has taken it out of me. Now I spend all of my days doing nothing, just lying down watching daytime TV and Sky News.

I think that says it all right there. You've got to have something to do in life, even if it's just hobbies. I think the human body is programmed to shut down when there is nothing to live for anymore. All to often, I hear about people that died shortly after retirement because they had nothing to do but hang around the house.

It's a shame about Phil because he is still relatively young - 60 is not old by any stretch these days. I can understand him not being able to drum due to his medical condition but there's got to be something for him to do. There are stacks of good books to be read - hell, with his life, he could write a book on his own that many people would want to read.

Hopefully he can find something to occupy his time aside from lying around watching daytime TV.

I have fond memories from the summer of 1985 and Phil's music was the soundtrack to it.
