Phil Collins has given a rare interview, in which he updated fans on his ongoing health battles and their effect on his ability to perform.The musician has been suffering from nerve damage since a spinal injury in 2007, in which he damaged vertebrae in his upper neck.Discussing Genesis’ forthcoming reunion tour – which will see Collins’ son Nic taking his place behind the kit – he said: “I’m kind of physically challenged a bit which is very frustrating because I’d love to be playing up there with my son.”Speaking to BBC Breakfast, when asked if he’s still able to play he said: “No.
No, I would love to but, you know, I mean I can barely hold a stick with this hand, so there are certain physical things that get in the way.”First announced in.
