Phil Collins Says He Does “Contemplate” Performing Live Again: “I Can’t Really See It Happening, But I’m Healthier Now Than I Had Been For Quite A While”
Phil Collins Says He Does “Contemplate” Performing Live Again: “I Can’t Really See It Happening, But I’m Healthier Now Than I Had Been For Quite A While”
> “I can’t really see it [performing live] happening, but I’m healthier now than I had been for quite a while.”
With his impending Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction later this year, Collins revealed he was asked by the organization to celebrate the honor with a performance, as is typical tradition:
> “I said no. ‘Cause you’ve gotta be match fit to do something like that. You can’t just go on stage. You’re gonna have to rehearse, and then by that point, if you’ve not been singing, your voice is gonna be shot, and then that’s not gonna be good. So I’d rather not do it,” he explained. But whether I would go out again, I would contemplate, yeah. I mean, I’m constantly saying to myself, I’ve gotta go back down to my studio at home.”

Enjoy your health while you still have it, my friend. Touring isn’t going to do you any favors. Do a small gig here and there to scratch that itch, but don’t overexert yourself.
