Collins made a decision to take a different path in his musical life after 25 years with Genesis, focusing on jazz projects, cinema music, and his solo career. He expressed his wish for his former bandmates to have a bright future, but when 2017 arrived, he opted to rejoin them for their Last Domino global tour.

Unfortunately, the pandemic forced this tour had to be postponed, and just before it began, Phil gave an interview to BBC Breakfast, which raised some concerns about his health. Despite this setback, the band hopes to perform together again, with Phil taking on vocals and Nicholas Collins on drums.

While Nic is a fantastic drummer, Tony Banks said that he could make early Phil Collins songs seem even more powerful than they already do.

When Phil was asked why he wasn’t playing the drums anymore, he said, “I’d like to, but I can scarcely grip a stick with this hand.” Nonetheless, Phil has not let physical constraints stop him from following his passion for music, even though it does create some hurdles that must be addressed.

The storyteller, a man our age, described his physical difficulties with a tangible sense of loss. He lamented that he couldn’t share his son’s adventures and accompany him on the road.

Due to his health, he was still determining if he wanted to continue his travels. His words created a sense of resignation as if he had come to terms with the fact that certain things were now off-limits to him, and he couldn’t participate in them.

The choice between continuing on his current route and discontinuing his excursions felt demanding and tough for him to make. He realized that either way, he’d have to give up something he loved due to a physical limitation or a conscious decision. This weighed heavily on him, and he was overwhelmed by the prospect of missing out on many life opportunities due to this rapid change in circumstances.
