Look at his missus with her new husband! 

Guessing she must be worth a few £££££££

She was an heiress before she married him difficult to portray her as a gold digger possibly hungry for publicity

Thank fuck for that. Phil Collins can 'barely' hold a drum stick, let alone play (msn.com)

I did see the BBC clip of him “singing” on stage with Genesis the other day. Simply awful groaning.

 

Please Lord, take him now.

Yeah, my mate - for whom Foxtrot/Selling England/Lamb Lies Down period is the absolute epitome - is going to the last ever gig. I've said I'll buy him beers and listen whilst he pours out his pain the following week.

As for Phil's health: "dislocated vertebrae led to nerve problems that have stopped him drumming, and he is diabetic. He is frail and seems slightly distracted, walks with the aid of a stick, but is in good spirits."

I grew up as huge Phil Collins Fan, and still I am. For me, he is definetely up there in the top 3 artists of all time. But makes me sad to see him these days

It's NOT about his age, he is quite young compared to McCartney... It's about his condition. It really looks like he has not taken care of his health at all. I could be wrong and he has just been unlucky. But many people look and talk better at 70. And to me it seems a bit like he is not able to self-reflect and recognize his own limits. Wish him only the best!

He certainly doesn't look great here

Check the source, it came out a couple of days before my initial post. Was news to me at the time, I saw and shared here - I also checked the forum for any mention and there was none. So did people really know about it?

 

Or maybe you just have a prejudice against me...

Clearly you didn't read the posts and links from September, further up this page.  There's even a video.

Dated 9 September.

Was flicking through the channels last night and there was a Genesis documentary on Sky Arts. It has some footage of the recent concerts but I turned it off because it was heartbreaking to see the state of Phil Collins

Frail Phil Collins sits and uses a cane during Genesis show in Berlin (msn.com) 

Frail??? He looks terrible.

[gcreptile 10,221]

Makes me wonder what it is that makes him so weak. I mean, doesn't look to me like he's terminally ill. What is the affliction?

Says he suffered nerve damage in 2009.

He looks like the kind of person he was singing about in 'Another Day In Paradise' there.

[Deathrace 1,096]

Surprised no-one has remarked on the fact they've announced their retirement after their London gigs. You'd have to say Banks and Rutherford still look well. Pity about Phil's obvious frailty.
