Genesis vocalist and drummer Phil Collins had damaged the upper part of his spinal chord, and therefore this nasty accident may put his career under the danger of being knocked out for an uncertain period of time. As The Daily Telegraph said, at least it may put him away from the stage for a few years, hence this kind of trauma takes a very long time to recover. Besides the fact that Collins went through a successful surgery, it’s still not known if a musician is going to be able to perform on drums because his hands are not functioning right. Hopefully, current medicine and good care will restore this guy as soon as possible. Collins personally noted that he received this trauma way back in 2007 during the Genesis tour “Turn It On Again: The Tour”, which was dedicated to his return (he left the band in 1996). “Somehow during the last Genesis tour I dislocated some vertebrae in my upper neck and that affected my hands”. He cannot play drums and keyboards right now, but at the same time Phil is trying to keep up with his spirits. “Maybe in a year or so it will change, but for now it is impossible for me to play drums or piano. I am not in any ‘distressed’ state – stuff happens in life.”
