Collins has been playing the drums since he was 5 years old but stopped in March 2022. Among several health challenges he has faced in recent years, the Genesis band member has been diagnosed with drop-foot, a condition that left him with no sensation in one of his feet. He has used a cane to walk since 2015.

Phil Collins provided a rare health update after losing his ability to play the drums almost three years ago. After a 50-year career, the ailing Genesis musician retired in March 2022.

For Phil Collins, decades of rock stardom have not come without a cost. In "Phil Collins: Drummer First," a new documentary released Wednesday, the musician opened up about the health toll of performing for so many years.
