Phil Collins Suffering from Health Problems, can 'Barely Hold’ Drum Sticks

Is the nasty ex wife living with him to make sure she is in the will?

I would have held young Phil’s stick.

Great. He'll go on tour, catch Covid, which if it doesn't kill him will rip holes in his lungs so he won't be able to sing OR drum.

Don't do drugs, kids.

He should try wings instead.

That’s not news. He explained health reasons many years ago. Maybe it’s just PR to explain why his son is there.

Just DIE already!

His songs were a major part of my life growing up. He was one of my favourite singers. I’m glad he’ll still be singing at least.

[QUOTE] Just DIE already!

Hopefully not before you, R7.

What an asshole. The way he suddenly dumped Dana Tyler for that shrew was unconscionable.

This is sad.

R2 I would have put his stick through all the gears. I love Phil. Some artists get too popular and too ubiquitous for their own good, and then we hate them for it. I think he’s come out in top. The music holds and the artistry and talent was unique for its time.

This will be a problem for “In The Air Tonight.”

He should be ashamed of the music he has made and for what he’s done to society.

HUGE PENIS!

He’s so shameful. Wasn’t his wife in the middle of throwing him out?

I have all of Phil's hit singles. He really put Genesis on the map when he took over as lead singer!

Phil has been like this for years. I don’t know why it’s being reported as if it’s news. He already did a two year solo tour sitting in a chair. His problems started when he dislocated some vertebrae on the last Genesis reunion tour in 2007.

He should be dead before 2022

What a mary, the way he plays up his problem for pity and sympathy

[quote]Phil Collins says he is no longer able to play the drums due to health issues

I had the same problem

I don't think so, r1, he evicted her and sold the house earlier this year.

Thank god he can no longer play the drums and assault our ears

I have NO problem holding drum sticks. MMMM, Miss Dionne loves her some KFC buckets!

This motherfucker sure has a lot of nerve

Yikes.

70 is a bit young to be that immobilized. Can you imagine Jane Fonda in that condition? And she’s got, what, 15 years on Phil Collins?

I agree, R27. Is this a genetic condition or did he live hard as a young man? He seems at least 10 years ahead of where he should be, aging-wise.

This like many other old acts is just another last-minute money grab before they go. I would not pay money to see these geriatric men sitting in a chair on stage. Grace Slick had it right and refused to tour with Jefferson Starship after a certain age.

That is a VERY old 70 nowadays.

I performed till the day I died...I think??

[quote]Grace Slick had it right and refused to tour with Jefferson Starship after a certain age.

I agree...Give it up and die with dignity

.........

Great musician and singer. I wish him well.

He could barely hold a tune when he was well. But that's just my opinion. He always seemed to be one rock star who wasn't in love with himself, and jetting off to the poorest nations on earth in private planes to tell us how woke he was.

Fucking Phil Collins

He needs to just fucking die. Has he no shame singing from a wheelchair?

I predict he’ll die in spring of 2022

Phil was huge in his day. People seem to forget that. Ive always said if Phil would have looked like Micheal Hutchence he'd have been the 80s-90s Elvis. Bless his heart,he was only hot for 15 seconds.

Sususudio??

The shamelesshnessh of shome people!

R1, the ex-wife isn't living with him at all. She kicked him out of his house. The divorce wreaked havoc on him, and that's why he needs to tour again. Do old men really think those much-younger women love them for their personality and looks?

I am a fan of his music, and I don't understand why so many people treat him as a joke. I like some of the songs that I never heard on the radio, like the instrumental, "The Brazilian".

Thats a really rough 70. Does he have ALS or something?

What’s with all the Phil. Collins apologists? He’s scum and should rot for everything he’s done.

If Ann Reinking hadn't died last year, she could have replaced Phil Collins on tour.

🎵 I can't dance ... I can't stand ... I can't drum ... 🎵

LOL R46!

CNN with another cutting edge story.

Hell be dead by mid year

R44 Like what? I honestly did not know he was a bad person.

He's always had that chav look. My friend from London used to he looks like a brick layer.

[quote] Ive always said if Phil would have looked like Micheal Hutchence he'd have been the 80s-90s Elvis.

You're probably right. Phil was certainly no looker.

Those two South Park episodes making fun of him: do you think those guys feel guilty now?

In (northern) summer 1991, Michael Hutchence (as part of INXS) was selling out Wembley Stadium and Madison Square Garden. By December, Smells Like Teen Spirit was released and grunge ruled. MH didn't get to be Elvis for very long himself. August 1992 a traumatic brain injury pretty much completely changed him. No more hit songs, no more big concerts, no more happy times apart from his daughter being born. Do INXS get much airplay outside Australia?

INXS are legendary and much better than that creature Phil Collins

Nic is very attractive and an excellent drummer. These photos are a few years old.

The other son Phil had with the crazed plastic surgery addict is a blond with blue eyes.

The thread here about the gold digger 'lady man' is hilarious. The ex-wife looks like Chrissy Teigen on crack who applied her makeup with a trowel.

Can barely hold his drumsticks? I know what that's like!

Nick Collins is gorgeous and sexy and an excellent drummer. Must be weird to be only 21 years old and have to learn the entire freaking Genesis catalogue, though. I can’t think of a band less likely to resonate with people that age. I bet there’s not a single person under 40 at any of these shows.

True r58. Genesis and Phil Collins have not translated at all to younger generations. Hell, I was a kid in the 80s and my own generation thought they were pretty lame. It was our parents' Boomer generation who were really into them. And god were those songs played NON-STOP back then. You couldn't get away from them. In fact you still hear a lot of Phil Collins' solo stuff today.

Sue Sue Suddio?

That's not true that Genesis and Phil Collins have no youth appeal. Collins became a byword for uncool in the 1990s but his image has been rehabbed over time.

Remember when Phil Collins said her lost an award to Stevie Wonder because the latter was a (blind) charity case?

*said he

Loved the album he did with Philip Bailey from Earth, Wind & Fire.

"Do old men really think those much-younger women love them for their personality and looks?"

I think they do r42. Living in Florida I have seen more year older than god men with pretty young women and we know they aren't in love with great grandpas good looks and personality.......

Along those lines R65 ,I knew a lovely Canadian lady in her early 50s who was wooed by a rich older guy in his early 70s. He had a lovely house in Fernandina Bch,and one in St. Pete ,as well as plenty of money in the bank. Long story short,she married him though she really had reservations ,and within a year he had signed everything over to his kids and admitted he had been diagnosed with Parkinsons before he had met her. She was BITTER. His kids hated her too ,so her life was a nightmare. She even had to go back to work as he had very little left in the bank. When she called me and told me all about it I said "Honey,fuck that ! Divorce his ass and let his fucking kids handle it!" but she was too nice for her own good I guess cause shes still there.

Phil was still fairly youthful looking and physically healthy when he married the gold digging lady man, Orianne Cevey, in 1999.

Phil and Orianne before she mangled her face and body with various horrific plastic surgeries. Orianne now looks like a transexual and NOT a very convincing one!

As for Phil's payout to Lady Man, how can anyone wipe out $45+ MILLION in a few years?! 🤯🤯 Sheer insanity.

Its hard to believe that pretty girl morphed into that nightmare !

Whether you think reaction videos are fake or not, they're at least introducing good music to the younger generations.

Those two kids on YouTube are at least open minded about older rock and pop music. At least they make an effort to listen and don't immediately dismiss it.

I hope they are also aware that a lot of rock music has been sampled by Rap and Hip-Hop performers.

May she RIP. She was a good girl who had a good run.

Phil's frightening ex Orianne with her 30+ year old husband. Not sure if they are still married. Seems this guy married Orianne to get at Phil's $45 million divorced settlement.

Her face looks like a Halloween mask! What absolutely horrific plastic surgery.

R72 Yuck. That thing is a female? There are a million trannies who look more female and elegant.

All tbis grandpa rocks is just embaressing themselves. Hasnt ANY rocker heard the word retirement ? !
