He Was My Favorite Singer 30 Years Ago, But I Can’t Recognize Him Today.

A few months ago, rock star sensation Phil Collins revealed that he could no longer play the drums. The singer, who is seventy-one years old, broke the news to disappointed fans as his bandmates were planning to join forces again to go on

a Genesis tour.Now, Collins has appeared on stage in various venues across the world but was unable to stand during his performance in Berlin, which has made many fans worry about the singer’s health.During the engaging event in Berlin,

Collins performed alongside bandmates Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks. Although he did an excellent job with his vocal performance, fans could not help but notice that his health was failing him. Throughout the performance, Collins was

unable to stand, so he remained seated, gripping the microphone to his chest as if his life depended upon it.Although fans who gathered to see Genesis perform at the Mercedez Benz Arena were delighted to see Collins in action on the

stage, they could not help but be reminded that the singer is not the man he once was.Because Collins was pictured sitting throughout the performance in Berlin, he became a trending topic on Twitter. Some fans went so far as to compare

the British singer to his former bandmate Peter Gabriel.Fans quickly turned to social media to defend Collins and argue that he is not looking too bad despite the health setbacks he has faced during the last few years.“I’m not a Genesis

me, he’s fine, despite the vertebrae issue.”Collins suffered a spinal injury in 2007 that has been affecting his health ever since. He has sometimes appeared in a wheelchair because of the injury and admitted back in September 2021 that he

could no longer play the drums like he once did. During a conversation on the BBC Breakfast show, Collins confessed that his son Nick would be taking over the drums for the 2021-2022 Genesis The hosts of the talk show directly asked Collins if

he still gets behind the drums to pound the sheepskin. He replied:“No. I’d love to, but you know, I mean, I can barely hold a stick with this hand… There are certain physical things that get in the way.”Although Collins can not perform on drums

like he wishes he could, he is glad that he is able to give Genesis one last go. This tour will be their last, and he’s glad to be along for the ride.“Yes, well, you know, you say things. I mean, we’re all men of our age, and I think to some extent yeah, I think it probably is putting it to bed,” the singer said. “I think, ye.
