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.”Collins started playing the drums at age 5, sharing that the movement has “taken its toll on my hands, legs.”“If I can’t do what I did as well as I did it, I’d rather relax and not do anything,” the star added. “If I wake up one day and I can hold a pair of drumsticks, then I’ll have a crack at it.

But I just feel like I’ve used up my air miles.”He played his final show in March 2022 alongside his Genesis bandmates Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks at London’s 02 Arena.
