Moved to Switzerland when Blair got in. That's real forward planning given the state of him.

[Music] What the feck has happened to Phil Collins?

Don’t see why Duke is a cracking album.

No I don't know him.
However over the years I have read and also listened to his interviews and some of his quotes.
He undoubtedly has a talent but as I stated , as a person he ain't all that.
"Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where, uh, Phil Collins' presence became more apparent"

His wife was from Switzerland. But don’t let any facts judge your opinion.

Not sure his health is much down the booze.
He's had back surgery, hip replacements and lost feeling in one foot.
I'd imagine the years of drumming have knackered his body.
Never been a fan, but it's sad to se someone's mobility deteriate like that.

Because there are a lot of Genesis haters on here.
Genuinely looks like a (very bad) madame tussauds‘ exhibit

I didn't know to much drumming could be bad for you. Is it a kind of RSI thing?

He is 67 and has got older. That is the answer to the question. Happens to all of us

Well not really. Even for a 67 year old in the last few years he has been incredibly unlucky with his health.

He looks the same to me, except older
Don’t worry about them, there was 500,000 people who like them at this show. Just enjoy what makes you happy.

Maybe, but Phil Bailey definitely looks like he's had some work done.

He can barely walk and has done concerts sitting in a chair.
No fan of him at all, but over the last few years that's more than age. He has terrible health issues.

So it makes the post in bad taste imo

Not really.
Anyone who places themselves in the public eye is open to comment, that's the point.
It's simply an observation of mine. I'm not interested in his music but interested in public reaction to these figures. Especially those who don't bother to hide behind PR and sometimes say what they think.
From what I'm read he's been unfairly labelled as a Tory loving anti tax exile. In reality he has never voted it appears.
Even if I disagree I'd rather watch an interview with him than the scripted prepared nonsense of say David Beckham or Paul McCartney.
May dig out his book. Not that will ever make me a fan of his music or Genesis.

I think Alan White of Yes has had back problems as well. He can't play a whole show now.
