Phil Collins: “I can barely hold a drumstick” – Fans concerned after “frail & unwell-looking” BBC appearance (video)

He attended the wedding of his daughter over the weekend however it is unclear when the BBC interview was filmed

Newsroom September 10 11:45

Phil Collins sparked concern during an appearance on BBC Breakfast on Thursday morning, when he confessed to no longer being able to play the drums.

Twitter was awash with worry from viewers and fans, who noted his weakened state as he was interviewed about Genesis, during which he said: ‘No [I can’t still play the drums]. I’d love to. But I mean, I can barely hold a stick with this hand.’

The star’s health woes have been well-documented in recent years and he has been seen using a wheelchair after undergoing back surgery following a fall in his bathroom in 2017 and various mobility issues followed.

He attended the wedding of his daughter Lily to Charlie McDowell over the weekend, however it is unclear when the BBC interview was filmed.
