Phil Collins is considering “going out on the road again”
Phil Collins is considering whether he might tour again, saying he still sometimes feels he has unfinished business on stage. His health has improved after serious problems, but the cost and practical demands of mounting a tour make a return uncertain; he also sees his upcoming Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction as a fitting conclusion to his career.
Collins last performed with Genesis on their farewell tour in 2022, with his son Nic taking over the drums. In 2024, Collins was hospitalised after his organs began to fail, which he linked in part to excessive drinking and kidney problems. He said a handful of shows would not make financial sense, and although he has a working home studio and some completed or unfinished musical ideas, he has not been actively recording. He will not perform at the induction ceremony on 14 November, saying he would need to be match fit.
In short
- Collins has not ruled out touring again.
- The expense of a short run is a major obstacle.
- He has ideas for new music but has not been recording.
