Singer Phil Collins made a guest appearance on BBC Breakfast on Thusday (Sept 9) and revealed that his health is declining, so much so that he is no longer able to play the drums anymore. "I'd love to. But I mean, I can barely hold a stick with this hand," he shared.

The 70-year-old said it was frustrating to be physically challenged as he longed to perform alongside his son, Nicholas Collins. It was previously announced that Nicholas would be taking over his father's place behind the drums in the band Genesis.
