Phil Collins, 74, reveals sad health update after retiring: I’ve been ‘very sick’

Published 21 Feb 2025 Phil Collins gave a sad update on his health condition. The Genesis rocker, 74, opened up about his health woes that forced him into retirement in a new interview with MOJO magazine. “I keep thinking I should go downstairs to the studio and see what happens. But I’m not hungry for it anymore,” Collins shared. “The thing is, I’ve been sick. I mean very sick.” In the 2024 documentary, “Phil Collins: Drummer First,” the musician addressed his health battle, which left him unable to play the drums. “It’s still kind of sinking in a bit,” the Grammy winner admitted. “I’ve spent all my life playing drums. To suddenly not be able to do that is a shock.”
