Phil Collins will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a solo performer later this week, but he’s not sure he’ll ever perform again.
Collins talked with The New York Times ahead of the induction ceremony on November 14, and reflected on a tough several years.
Collins had neck surgery in 2009, spine surgery in 2015, and he has been sober for the past three years after battling alcoholism.
Collins told the Times: “Everything that could go wrong, did, all at the wrong time. I’m not match-fit.”
But, he said he doesn’t regret a thing: “Because that would mean that I would have missed out on a lot of things that I learned from and I really enjoyed doing.”
Collins, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Joy Division / New Order, Oasis, Sade, the late Luther Vandross, and Wu-Tang Clan are all 2016 inductees. Collins was also inducted in 2010 as part of Genesis.
The ceremony will be held Saturday at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
