In a documentary released on YouTube, Phil Collins reconnects with his drum kit after years, and the scene touched the musician’s fans, as he had to stop playing after facing a series of health issues.
In “Phil Collins: Drummer First“, which premiered on December 18 on the Drumeo YouTube channel, the Genesis drummer talks about his lasting passion for music and the challenges he has faced due to a back injury in 2007, which left him with limited mobility.
Considered one of the greatest drummers of all time, Collins reconnects with his instrument after years, and the scene moved viewers; “I’m still kind of sinking,” Collins says in the documentary. “I’ve spent my whole life playing drums. Suddenly not being able to do it is a shock.”
“If I can’t do what I did as well as I did, I’d rather relax and do nothing,” he reflects. “But if I wake up one day and can hold a pair of drumsticks, then I’ll try. But I feel like I just used up my frequent flyer miles.”
The documentary explores Collins’ career and his impact on music through interviews with the drummer and several fellow musicians, who talk about his talent and influence.
