Phil Collins opened up about his health struggles in a new rare interview, ahead of his upcoming Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction later this year.
The music icon revealed that, despite ongoing health struggles over the last few years, everything is "fine" now.
"Everything's fine now," the legendary drummer, 75, told the BBC on Sunday (May 24). "I had problems with my knee, which I had for a while, but I played through it, toured through it. Eventually I had to have a knee operation, and I had to have it five times, because it kept either getting infected or it broke, you know. So I was inactive for a long time."

The "In the Air Tonight" musician also got candid about his upcoming Rock Hall induction, slated to take place Nov. 14 in Los Angeles, and whether he'd perform at the ceremony.
"I can't really see it happening, but I'm healthier now than I have been for quite a while," the "You'll Be in My Heart" singer admitted. "You can't just go on stage. You have to rehearse. And by that point, if you've not been singing, your voice is going to be shot and that's not going to be good. So, I'd rather not do it."
Back in January, the Grammy winner, who last performed live in 2022, revealed that he now requires 24-hour live-in nurse care.
