BREAKING NEWS: Phil Collins Says He’s Been VERY Sick Since Genesis Tour — Fans Express Deep Concern for the Iconic Musician
In a heartbreaking update that has shaken fans across the globe, music legend Phil Collins has revealed that his health has taken a serious turn for the worse since completing the final Genesis reunion tour. The 74-year-old singer, drummer, and songwriter opened up in a recent interview, saying that he’s been “very sick” and struggling significantly since stepping off the stage for the last time.
Phil Collins, best known as the frontman of Genesis and for his massively successful solo career, has long battled a series of health issues. Over the years, he has undergone back surgeries, suffered from nerve damage, and has been seen using a cane and even performing while seated due to his limited mobility. However, his latest comments indicate that things have become even more challenging since the conclusion of Genesis’s “The Last Domino?” tour in 2022.
“It’s been rough,” Collins admitted. “I gave everything I had for that tour, and I don’t regret it for a second. But after it ended, my body just couldn’t recover the way it used to. I’ve been very sick. I can’t really move around on my own anymore.”
These sobering words have deeply touched fans who watched the legendary performer continue to give his all on stage despite visible signs of physical pain. During the tour, Collins was no longer able to play the drums, a role that defined much of his early career. Instead, he focused on singing, while his son Nic Collins stepped in as drummer — a moment of generational passing that made the performances all the more emotional.
Since then, Phil has been largely out of the public eye, choosing to stay close to home and focus on rest and recovery. While he has always been open about his medical issues, this recent admission marks one of the most candid updates yet — and has led to an outpouring of support from fans, fellow musicians, and celebrities alike.
“He’s a fighter,” said longtime collaborator Mike Rutherford. “Phil has always faced adversity head-on. But I know how tough things have been for him lately.”
Social media has been flooded with messages of love and encouragement, with fans using hashtags like #GetWellPhil and #ThankYouPhil to honor his decades-long contributions to music.
Despite the health challenges, Collins remains grateful. “I’ve lived a full life. I’ve had an incredible career. And now, it’s about peace, family, and finding comfort in the small things,” he shared.
As the music world processes this emotional update, one thing is clear — Phil Collins’ impact is eternal. From the pounding drums of “In the Air Tonight” to the heartfelt lyrics of “Against All Odds,” his voice and artistry have touched millions. Now, fans around the world are sending their thoughts and prayers to a man who gave them so much — hoping he finds strength, healing, and continued comfort in the days ahead.
