Phil Collins has discussed the health issues that he is facing due to years of drumming.
The 73-year-old music icon is widely considered one of the greatest drummers of all time - but decades of bashing the drum skins has taken a toll on his hands, legs and body.
Speaking to Drumeo in 2022 - but the interview has only been released now in a documentary titled Phil Collins: Drummer First - the star explained he is still adjusting to being unable to use the instrument.
He told the cameras, "If I can't do what I did as well as I did it, I'd rather relax and not do anything.
"If I wake up one day and I can hold a pair of drumsticks, then I'll have a crack of it. But I just feel like I've used up my air miles."
"It's still kind of sinking in a bit," the maestro added of his health. "I've spent all my life playing drums. To be suddenly not be able to do that is a shock."
His son Nic Collins also features in the documentary and shares further information about the Genesis star's health issues.
He revealed his father required a "big surgery on his neck that stemmed from all those years playing drums and bad posture."
He also said the drum master suffered drop-foot, a condition where "one of his feet has no sensation," leaving him with the need to use a cane.
The full documentary is available to watch via the Drumeo YouTube channel now.
