Phil Collins shares update on his health issues
Ahead of Genesis' upcoming tour, "The Last Domino?" Phil Collins gave his fans an update on his health.
The musician, who's 70, has been sidelined by a number of serious health problems; his son Nicholas will be playing the drums on the tour this time around.
While appearing on BBC Breakfast on Thursday with bandmates Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford, Collins was asked if he's still able to play. "No. No. I would love to but ... I mean, I can barely hold a stick with this hand, so there are certain physical things that get in the way," he said.
He added that his condition is "very frustrating, because I'd love to be playing up there with my son."
Collins continued: "We're all men of our age, and I think to some extent, I think [this tour] probably is putting [the band] to bed. I think just generally for me, I don't know if I want to go out on the road anymore."
During his "I'm Not Dead Yet" solo tour, which ran from 2017 to 2019, Collins sat on stage and sang while Nicholas played drums, although he did play a cajón -- a percussion instrument played with the hands -- at some shows.
"The Last Domino?" tour will be the first time Genesis, which has been in existence for more than 50 years, has toured together since 2007.
The trek kicks off in the U.K. next week, and if all goes according to plan, it'll come to the U.S. in November.
