Phil Collins is set to receive a big honor from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. However, he recently shared that his health might get in the way of the proceedings. This also comes out as he shared an interesting health update with fans.
Phil Collins Is Set To Be Inducted Into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame As A Solo Artist This November
Collins is a singer, drummer, and record producer. He is known to many as the lead singer of Genesis, as well as his own solo career.
Collins has been plagued by a number of health issues over the years. He recently discussed these issues just as he is set to receive a big honor.
However, speaking with the BBC, Collins actually shared a positive update concerning the past year and a half, saying everything has been “fine” for him.
That said, the musician noted, “Before that, not so good. Everything healthwise caught up with me at the same time and whatever could go wrong did go wrong. But everything’s fine now. I had problems with my knee, which I had for a while, but I played through it, toured through it. But eventually I had to have a knee operation and I had to have [it] five times because it kept either getting infected or it broke, you know. So I was inactive for a long time.”
Despite Feeling He Wasn’t Up To Perform, Collins Still Shared A Positive Outlook On His Health
Collins is also set to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist in November. He was previously inducted as a member of Genesis in 2010.
Despite this, Collins doesn’t quite think he’ll be in too good a shape to perform at his induction ceremony. As he mused, “I can’t really see it happening, but I’m healthier now than I have been for quite a while.”
As Collins explained, “You can’t just go on stage. You have to rehearse. And then by that point, if you’ve not been singing, your voice is going to be shot and then that’s not going to be good. So I’d rather not do it.”
The musician previously told the outlet that his health issues have been “ongoing.” He notably employs a 24-hour live-in nurse. As he explained, he’s faced issues including COVID and kidney problems.
Public appearances have also become rare for Collins in recent years. That said, he still made a rare appearance earlier this month alongside his ex-wife Jill at The King’s Trust 50th Anniversary Party at Buckingham Palace.
