Collins\u2019 health<\/a> has been the subject of much speculation ever since the singer-drummer retired from performing in 2016, though he did come out of retirement<\/a> for the Not Dead Yet solo tour in 2017, and a final tour with Genesis in 2020. For those treks, Collins served only as a singer with his son Nic<\/strong> taking over on drums.<\/p>\nThe 75-year-old spoke about the wear and tear drumming has taken on his body over the years in the 2024 documentary Phil Collins: Drummer First<\/a>. \u00a0\u201cThe drumming has taken its toll on my hands, legs,\u201d he said in the film. \u201cI just feel like I\u2019ve used up all my air miles.\u201d<\/p>\nIn April, Collins was voted for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist after previously entering the Rock Hall with Genesis back in 2010. At this year\u2019s ceremony on Nov. 14, Collins will become only the fourth drummer in history to be inducted twice<\/a>, along with Matt Cameron<\/strong> of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden fame, Ringo Starr<\/a><\/strong>, and Dave Grohl<\/strong>, who\u2019s in the hall as a member of Nirvana and the Foo Fighters.<\/p>\nSome felt that Collins\u2019 failing health made voting for his solo induction a must, with some music industry insiders suggesting that Collins should be inducted into the Rock Hall once again while he\u2019s still around to appreciate it.<\/p>\n
