Inside Phil Collins' Declining Health

Woman and Home reports that Phil Collins recently sat down for an interview on BBC Breakfast to discuss Genesis' upcoming reunion tour. Collins, 70, admitted that things will be much different while he's on stage this time around. The musician reveals that his declining health and older age had the band figuring out what changes needed to be made. One of those changes will be the fact that Collins' son, Nic, will be playing the drums during the tour as he's no longer able to do it. "I'm kind of physically challenged a bit, which is very frustrating because I'd love to be playing up there with my son," Collins confessed. "I'd love to, but you know, I mean, I can barely hold a stick with this hand. So there are certain physical things that get in the way."

Collins' health issues were believed to begin back in 2007 when he suffered a severe back injury while on tour with the band. "Somehow during the last Genesis tour I dislocated some vertebrae in my upper neck and that affected my hands. After a successful operation on my neck, my hands still can't function normally," the "Another Day in Paradise" singer previously admitted. "I am not in any 'distressed' state –- stuff happens in life," he added. Collins also suffered from acute pancreatitis after admitting to heavy alcohol consumption.

Meanwhile, Collins' loyal fans are hoping that he'll return to the stage to perform to the best of his ability in the near future.
