Will he survive the tour?
I wish him well, though not a big fan. Seeing him like that really reminds one of one’s own mortality.

Definitely frail looking. His chair almost looks like a wheelchair.
To: Red Badger
I still play a couple of his songs on the bar jukebox: “One More Night,” “Taking It All Too Hard,” and “That’s All.”

In other news, Sweet Sweet Connie passed away today. I guess this is what getting old is like.

Only 70 and looking that bad? He looks as bad as his music sounds.
To: Red Badger
So what are his medical problems?

Genesis... One of the most over rated bands of all time.

I’m a huge Genesis fan, I can’t watch it. I’ll keep the memories of the great shows from the 70s and 80s.

This is what geezer rock looks like.

He’s complained of a spinal injury, that he thinks is basically repetitive stress from his posture and technique drumming.
Could be, I guess, but it looks like he’s dealing with more issues than that.

Johnny Winter was not the picture of health, even in his early days. On his last tour he played a small, out of the way spot in Gulfport FL (essentially South St Pete.) A good friend who is especially focused on guitar music went to see him and said that he was literally carried out onto the stage in the chair by some roadies. Never stood up. Talk about dying with your boots on.

Philip David Charles "Phil" Collins (born January 30, 1951) is a British singer,

Mayhew, a long-time con man who brings his cons to the United States in "Phil the
Shill". His song "Life Is a Rat Race" also features in the episode.
Aside from "Life Is a Rat Race", his songs "In the Air Tonight" (in "Brother's
Keeper" and "A Bullet for Crockett"), "I Don't Care Anymore" (in "No Exit"),

Yeah, the first time was just a near death experience.

Too bad. Looks like he’s just falling apart.

Huge Genesis fan here. I’ve seen them at least a dozen times since 1978. Suppose to go see them in December at MSG. Seeing Collins like this is sad and scary.
Fact is Collins did it to himself.
Collins has always been high strung/high maintenance. He admitted in an article 10 years ago he was contemplating suicide because he couldn’t drum like he used too. He couldn’t drum like he used to because he had an injury (back i believe) which was the result of a fall while he was drunk. He was drinking heavily because he was depressed by his third divorce. All of his marriages have ended in ruin.
Sad to see- i saw all the top bands in the 70’s; Zeppelin, Queen, Stone, Yes, ELP, Moody Blues. And without a doubt Collins was always my favorite and best front man- funny, engaging, a true entertainer and not just the singer of a rock band.

Sounds like Dusty Hill, he was propped up against the amplifier the last few shows he did with ZZ Top.
