Concerns are mounting for Phil Collins after a recent hospitalization sparked rumors that he was on hospice. However, a rep for Collins set the record straight, telling TMZ that Collins is not on hospice — but he was hospitalized to undergo knee surgery.
Collins' health has been a topic of conversation for fans for years. The musician's health has been up and down since he suffered a spinal injury in 2007.
Collins, 74, has suffered with decreased mobility as well as mental health challenges, according to Today. Concerns seemed to kick into high gear after his Phil Collins: Drummer First documentary hit YouTube in December 2024.
"If I can't do what I did as well as I did it, I'd rather relax and not do anything," Collins said. "If I wake up one day and I can hold a pair of drumsticks then I will have a crack at it. I just feel like I've used up my air miles."
"The drumming has taken its toll on my hands and legs," he also said.
More recently, the Genesis icon previously told MOJO that he was "very sick."
"I keep thinking I should go downstairs to the studio and see what happens. But I'm not hungry for it anymore. The thing is, I've been sick, I mean very sick," Collins told the outlet.
