Phil Collins shares tragic health update in brand new documentary
dailyrecord.co.ukMusic legend Phil Collins has opened up about his heartbreaking health struggles in a rare and candid interview. The 73-year-old Genesis frontman has become increasingly immobile over the past 15 years while dealing with the debilitating effects of nerve damage caused by injured vertebrae in his upper neck.As a result, he relies on a cane or wheelchair to get around.
In a poignant new documentary, Phil Collins: Drummer First, available on YouTube's Drumeo channel, Phil shares the devastating impact decades of drumming has had on his body, the Mirror reports.With drumming now a significant challenge, Phil confessed: "If I wake up one day and I can hold a pair of drumsticks, then I'll have a crack of it.
But I just feel like I've used up my air miles. "It's still kind of sinking in a bit. I've spent all my life playing drums. To be suddenly not be able to do that is a shock.
If I can't do what I did as well as I did it, I'd rather relax and not do anything."The documentary, filmed in 2022 and released this week, reveals Collins' self-perception as a drummer first, despite his global hits like Against All Odds, Easy Lover, In The Air Tonight, Another Day In Paradise and Sussidio.
