snoop1130 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Phil Collins, 69, looks frail as he prepares for Genesis rehearsals By JASON CHESTER Main man: Phil Collins was given a helping hand on Wednesday as he prepared for rehearsals with his Genesis bandmates Phil Collins was given a helping hand on Wednesday as he prepared for rehearsals with his Genesis bandmates. The frail singer, 69, will join forces with keyboardist Tony Banks and guitarist Mike Rutherford for the first time in 13 years when they take to the road with a new tour, of which the dates have yet to be confirmed. The tour, which was announced earlier this year, comes amid Phil's ongoing drama with ex-wife Orianne Cevey, 46, who exchanged vows in a secret August wedding with 30-year old lover Thomas Bates and moved him into their Miami mansion. Despite the ongoing controversy Phil appeared to be in high spirits as he emerged from his car outside a London music studio, where a group of assistants were on hand to help him into a wheelchair.

Sadly he cannot due to artritis or some other debilitating disease. And I am 72 and DO NOT look frail at all, and can still knock some rock & roll music out. And then look at Sir Macca, Sir Cliff, Sir Tom, Sir Ringo, Sir Mick, all well into their 70s/80. Edited October 31, 2020 by KannikaP 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Emdog Posted October 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2020 I used to joke that "Old is anyone that has 5 years on me". Have to amend that in some way, as now younger dudes like Phil don't look so great. How did I remain timelessly wonderful? Excuse me, I'm off to take my dementia medicine I bought off the street. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Monday Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Most of what constitutes pop music today is producers and studio musicians, largely unknown and the personalities are just dancers. At least these guys could play their instruments and write songs. Genesis members was around 25 when this record came out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat is a type of crazy Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 He became a bit of a punchline in the last 20 years as being the worst of the middle of the road type pop rock in the 80's e.g. South Park episode. He wasn't my cup of tea but In the Air Tonight was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDfella Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I did like some of his songs but was never a real fan. I remember once in some magazine I think he was called the 'ugliest something or other' (ha, please don't ask for authentication cos it was along time ago) which gives some idea how the music industry can treat a person. A tough business to stay in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStar Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 12 hours ago, fishtank said: At 69 we all look frail Not all. Many, such as Collins, have had some assistance along the way, usually through their own self-neglect: Collins acknowledged that he had struggled with an alcohol problem following his retirement and third divorce . . . In January 2017, Collins said he was a type 2 diabetic . . . In June 2017, Collins cancelled two shows after he slipped in his hotel room during the night and hit his head on a chair as he fell, resulting in stitches for a severe gash close to his eye. The fall was caused by his drop foot, developed as a result from his back operation.[267] --https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Collins#Health 12 hours ago, fishtank said: but I bet he can still bang them drums. Excellent. Here on TVF a "bet" means that the opposite is true, or will be, in fact. Phil Collins’ injury stops him from playing the drums After a long and prolific career playing the drums, a painful spine injury means that Collins is no longer able to play. According to Collin’s own words in the Daily Mail, "My vertebrae have been crushing my spinal cord because of the position I drum in. It comes from years of playing. I can’t even hold the sticks properly without it being painful." --https://www.genesisfan.net/phil-collins/articles/2019/the-heartbreaking-reason-phil-collins-does-not-play-the-drums-anymore# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanaplaza666 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 His ex marrying a young boy and living in his house while still married to him and wanting a big pile of cash from Phil would make any man fragile . And he even needs to move all his valuables out the house otherwise the witch will sell his platinum records and stuff .

Andrew Dwyer Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Never a huge Phil Collins fan but he did make some outstanding music with Genesis and as a solo artist. This is one of my favourites from Genesis off the We Can’t Dance album , a moving track called Driving the last spike , live at Knebworth in ‘92.
