Phil Collins has disclosed that he now requires a 24-hour live-in nurse following severe kidney and knee problems that resulted in months of hospitalisation. The revelation came during a candid interview with Zoe Ball, set to air on television this evening.
The Genesis frontman, once described by Ball as 'the hardest working man in rock', spoke from an armchair in a quiet conversation that also featured voice notes from Robert Plant and bandmate Mike Rutherford. Archive concert footage was interspersed throughout the programme.
When asked about the possibility of performing again, Collins appeared unconvinced, casting doubt on a return to the stage. The musician's health has been a growing concern, with the 24-hour nursing care marking a significant escalation in his medical needs.
The interview offers a rare glimpse into Collins' current condition, as the 73-year-old has largely stayed out of the public eye in recent years. His last tour, 'Not Dead Yet', concluded in 2019.
