Phil Collins Gives Up The Drums

Phil Collins has announced he’s been forced to retire from playing the drums due to health reasons.

The aging crooner has back problems that have forced him to give up saying in a recent interview, ‘After playing drums for 50 years, I’ve had to stop.

‘My vertebrae have been crushing my spinal cord because of the position I drum in. I can’t even hold the sticks properly without it being painful.’

Phil Collins has a unique playing style that I hate and in my opinion is one of the worlds most over rated drummers – for me his retirement is something to be celebrated, not mourned.

And the bad news doesn’t end there… he’s not giving up singing.
