In a new interview with The Sunday Times shared Sunday, August 2, the rocker revealed that a battle with alcohol addiction led to a life-threatening health crisis in late 2023 and early 2024 that left him unconscious in intensive care for months.
The singer said all five of his children—Joely, 53, Simon, 49, Lily, 37, Nicholas, 25, and Matthew, 18—rushed to be by his side as doctors weighed difficult decisions. "There were some decisions to be made about 'Do we keep Phil on life support?' kind of thing," he shared.
Collins first hinted at the severity of his health struggles during an appearance on the BBC podcast Eras months ago. There, he described having "a difficult, frustrating few years" after undergoing five knee surgeries and confirmed he had spent months hospitalized because of his drinking.
In a separate interview with BBC Breakfast in May, he said he turned down performing at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and doesn’t feel he’ll be ready to hit the stage any time soon—if at all. “I can’t really see it happening. But I’m healthier now than I have been for quite a while,” he said. “They asked me if I would perform and I said no, because you’ve got to be match fit to do something like that.”
Collins was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2010 with Genesis.
