World media reports that Phil Collins, the legendary drummer and vocalist of Genesis, is in a serious state of health, causing his closest friends to be very concerned. At the age of 74, the music icon is battling chronic pain and a number of health complications that are depriving him of his ability to play, and those familiar with the matter fear that his condition is deteriorating at an alarming rate. Known for his dynamic drumming and powerful stage presence, Collins has been battling debilitating health problems for more than a decade, Aktualno reported.
His problems began with a spinal injury that led to surgery in 2007 to repair a dislocated vertebra in his neck. Despite the surgery, he continues to struggle with severe nerve damage, which affects his ability to play drums. In 2015, another serious procedure only worsened his condition, with his pain remaining constant.
