FTA: “...it really frosted me that Phil Collins thought he should mock President Reagan for being old.

Fast forward 40 years, and Mr. Collins has now reached the ripe old age of 75 himself, and let us say, time has not been kind to him.

“Phil Collins has opened up about his recent health challenges, revealing that he has 24-hour live-in nurse care,” CNN is reporting:

He told [British presenter Zoe Ball] that he’s had five operations on his knee. “I can walk, albeit with assistance,” he said.

Not very rock-n-roll, Phil. Even bedraggled old Ozzy Osbourne could totter out on stage and rock our worlds at age 76. Collins hasn’t performed since 2022.”

Was it really Phil, or his producers and older ones around him?

It must have burned him that the Gipper and Maggie Thacher got along so well.
