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.’

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