Phil Collins is so ill that heβs lost interest in making music.
The 74-year-old former Genesis frontman, who retired in 2022 due to physical limitations, made the admission as he gave a poignant update on his health battles β after he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and complications from a spinal injury dating back to 2007.
Collins told Mojo magazine: βI keep thinking I should go downstairs to the studio and see what happens. But Iβm not hungry for it anymore.β
The Grammy winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee added: βThe thing is, Iβve been sick, I mean very sick.β
The musician first spoke about his spinal problems in 2009, saying: βMy vertebrae have been crushing my spinal cord because of the position I drum in. It comes from years of playing.β
