Even as Phil Collins<\/a> battles a long list of health problems, the rocker remains hopeful that he\u2019ll be able to put out new music in the future.<\/p>\n During a recent conversation with Zoe Ball of BBC Two<\/a><\/em>, the former Genesis<\/a> singer detailed the long list of ailments which have plagued him in recent years.<\/p>\n \u201cIt’s an ongoing thing,\u201d Collins remarked. \u201cI have a 24-hour live-in nurse to make sure I take my medication, as I should do. I’ve had challenges with my knee. Everything that could go wrong with me did go wrong with me. I got COVID in hospital. My kidneys started to back up. Everything seemed to converge at the same time. I had five operations on my knee. Now, I’ve got a knee that works, and I can walk, albeit with assistance, crutches or whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n READ MORE: <\/strong>Phil Collins Albums Ranked Worst to Best<\/a><\/p>\n Collins went on to concede that \u201cdrinking too much\u201d likely led to his kidney issues.<\/p>\n \u201cI wasn’t one of those guys that stayed up all night drinking,\u201d he noted. \u201cI’d drink during the day, but I guess I had too much of it. I was never drunk, although I fell over a couple of times. But it is just one of those things that happened, and it all caught up with me, and I spent months in hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s been more than two years since Collins last drank alcohol. That, coupled with his aforementioned progress following knee surgery, has him finally feeling better.<\/p>\n \u201cIt’s just been a difficult, interesting, frustrating last few years,\u201d he confessed. \u201cIt’s all right now.\u201d<\/p>\n Collins\u2019 last concert was the final night of Genesis\u2019 2022 farewell tour<\/a>. The rocker, who gave up playing drums<\/a> in 2009 after a surgery left him with nerve damage, remained seated during the performance due to his health problems.<\/p>\n While a return to the road seems unlikely for the 74 year old, he still hopes to record new music.<\/p>\nCould Phil Collins Release New Music?<\/h3>\n
