Fears for Phil Collins

Fans worry after the musician admits his health is declining

Music icon Phil Collins shocked his fans last week when he confessed his ailing health has left him unable to pick up the drumsticks that made him a household name.

“I can barely hold a stick with this hand, so there are certain physical things that get in the way,” the 70-year-old star said in an emotional interview with BBC Breakfast in the UK on September 9. “I’m kind of physically challenged a bit, which is very frustrating because I’d love to be playing up there with my son.”
