Phil Collins Says He’s Been ‘Sick, I Mean, Very Sick,’ Describing His Disinterest in Recording Since Genesis’ Final Tour
Three years after Genesis did a farewell tour with Phil Collins only singing, not playing drums, he says he's been 'very sick' and isn't recording music.
But in a new interview with Mojo magazine, Collins makes it clear that he has no inclination to return to a recording studio in any capacity, due to physical limitations that have taken away the desire to create new music. But I’m not hungry for it anymore,” he tells the magazine, before pausing and adding: “The thing is, I’ve been sick, I mean, very sick…” The writer says Collins’ voice “tails off” before he elaborates any more on his condition. Peter Gabriel, who preceded Collins as the frontman for Genesis, says he went to see his former bandmates bow out as a band three years ago, in their final performance at the O2 Arena in London.
