Phil Collins’ rep says singer is not in hospice

Phil Collins’ rep is speaking out about the singer’s health.

A spokesperson for the 74-year-old Genesis drummer told TMZ Saturday that Collins was hospitalized for knee surgery.

The rep also shut down the rumor that Collins was in hospice care.

The Post has reached out to Collins’ rep for comment.

Collins has been out of the spotlight since he retired after his final show with Genesis in March 2022. He performed the concert while sitting down due to lingering effects of a spinal injury from 2007.

The “You’ll Be In My Heart” singer also has drop-foot, a condition that left him with no sensation in one of his feet. He has used a cane to walk since 2015 after undergoing a spinal procedure.

In Feb. Collins gave a sad update on his health.

 “The thing is, I’ve been sick. I mean very sick,” Collins shared to MOJO magazine.

“I keep thinking I should go downstairs to the studio and see what happens. But I’m not hungry for it anymore,” the Grammy Award winner added.

In his 2024 documentary “Phil Collins: Drummer First,” Collins opened up about how his health issues have left him no longer able to play the drums.

“I’ve spent all my life playing drums. To suddenly not be able to do that is a shock,” he shared.

“If I can’t do what I did as well as I did it, I’d rather relax and not do anything,” he added. “If I wake up one day and I can hold a pair of drumsticks, then I’ll have a crack at it. But I just feel like I’ve used up my air miles.”

Collins’ son, Nic, who followed in his father’s footsteps and took up the drums, also spoke about the “Tarzan” composer’s health in the doc.

“Musicians, people in bands in general had this thought that they were invincible,” said Nic. “I think that’s really what it is with my dad is just this kind of sense of you’re a drummer, you’re invincible, you do what you do. But you don’t know it’s gonna take a toll in the long run.”

Collins started playing the drums at age 5. He joined Genesis in 1970 and later became the band’s lead singer.
