In early 2025, Phil Collins expressed his poor physical condition, though he didn’t suggest imminent demise. However, fans have grown used to preparing for devastating news that leaves us heartbroken. The shocking death of Ozzy Osbourne, for example, was a stark reminder of this trend.
Collins’ health difficulties primarily originate from a spinal injury sustained in 2007 and subsequent years of drumming, which have taken a toll on his nerves. As a result, he can no longer grasp drumsticks, and he struggles with mobility issues. These problems have escalated to the point where Collins is unable to perform anymore.
Despite the recent rumors about Collins being in hospice, he remains among us. Contrary to what some speculations suggested, his family wasn’t preparing for an end as one might assume from such a situation. Instead, the former Genesis frontman was admitted to a hospital, not a hospice.
Phil Collins was not in hospice, but instead was having knee surgery in the hospital
According to TMZ, the cause of the absence was a routine knee surgery for the drummer, an event that seemed to hold little interest even among his family, such as actress Lily Collins, who chose not to share it on social media. There were no emotional appeals or sentiments expressed; instead, there was only quiet acceptance.
The reason behind Collins’ knee surgery remains unclear. It could be due to an ongoing problem related to his nerve damage, which the surgery was intended to alleviate. Given that Phil Collins is 71 years old, it’s possible that he sustained the injury in the past, and now is the appropriate time for him to address the issue. However, we can only speculate about the exact cause.
Despite the widespread misconceptions on social media, it’s important to clarify that Collins was not in hospice. While social media offers a unique platform for connections, it can unfortunately become a breeding ground for unverified information and false rumors that are often accepted as truth by many users.
I’m truly grateful that Phil Collins seems to be in good health. It’s uncertain if he’ll ever perform live music again, but I hope he has many more years ahead to enjoy life. Jumping to the assumption of him not performing is a bit unsettling. Everyone, including Phil, deserves to be treated with respect and given the benefit of the doubt in such situations.
