Phil Collins: Kidneys failed from boozing, but I'm still here!

In a candid interview, Phil Collins detailed his ongoing health struggles, including the failure of his kidneys due to years of heavy drinking. He disclosed that he now has a 24-hour live-in nurse to ensure he adheres to his medication regimen.

Collins also shared that he has endured five knee operations, which have left him with a functioning knee, though he requires a walking aid. The Genesis frontman admitted that his kidneys 'packed up' as a result of his past alcohol consumption, a situation that occurred alongside other health complications.

Despite these severe health issues, the legendary musician expressed a resilient spirit, stating, 'there is life in the old dog yet.' He reflected on his career and family, expressing pride in his children's well-adjusted lives.

Collins also touched upon his transition from drummer to lead singer for Genesis, describing it as a psychologically challenging experience due to the exposure. He also mentioned potential future musical endeavors, hinting at unfinished or new compositions.
