Phil Collins Says He Does “Contemplate” Performing Live Again: “I Can’t Really See It Happening, But I’m Healthier Now Than I Had Been For Quite A While”
In a recent interview, legendary rock singer and drummer Phil Collins says he hasn’t completely ruled out recording new music, or even touring.
The erstwhile Genesis frontman told BBC Breakfast‘s Charlotte Gallagher that he “can’t really see it [performing live] happening, but I’m healthier now than I had been for quite a while.”
Collins has been open about his medical struggles in recent years, previously revealing that he suffers from Type 2 diabetes and complications from a 2007 spinal injury. In January, he noted he was under 24-hour care and has also said that he could no longer hold his drum sticks properly without feeling pain, even taping his sticks to his hands to get through later gigs. He also experienced kidney issues and underwent five operations on his knee.
