Phil Collins’ health is deteriorating. “I keep thinking I should go downstairs to the studio and see what happens,” the retired Genesis musician, 74, told Mojo magazine earlier this week. “But I’m not hungry for it anymore. The thing is, I’ve been sick, I mean very sick…”
The group performed their last concert in March 2022 as part of their “The Last Domino?” Tour. Although Collins’ former bandmate Peter Gabriel didn’t participate in the gig, he still attended the London show and observed the performance from afar. “Phil wasn’t in as great a shape as he used to be, but they did a great job,” Gabriel admitted. “Me going was a rite of passage, really. I’d been part of the creation of Genesis, so I wanted to be there at the end.”
Collins sang while sitting in a chair as his son Nic Collins, 23, took over for him on the drums. Seven months later, the duo spoke about their line of work and the struggles that accompany it in the documentary “Phil Collins: Drummer First,” which debuted on YouTube in December 2022.
