Musician Phil Collins can ‘barely hold’ a drumstick as health deteriorates

The 70-year-old singer and drummer calls his upcoming Genesis tour putting the band to bed'

British musician Phil Collins says he can barely hold a drum stick because of deteriorating health that has also forced him to sit while singing during live performances.

The 70-year-old drummer and singer told the BBC in an interview broadcast on Thursday that he was frustrated at the challenges he faced. He underwent surgery on his back in 2009 and again in 2015 that affected his nerves, and he also has diabetes.
