Genesis started your "The Last Domino?" Tour on Monday evening in Birmingham.Due to his health problems, cult musicians Phil Collins (70) had to sit during the concerts.But he was not the only one: the guitarist and bass player Mike Rutherford (70) also partially played the concert while sitting.
The battered musician Collins sang Genesis hits like "Mama", "Turn it on Again" or self-ironic "I Can't Dance" with his incomparable voice.He shows perseverance: the concerts of the current tour last three hours.
The Genesis singer on the left ear is said to be almost deaf since 2002.As a result of a cervical vertebral surgery in 2009, he also has numbness in his hands.Another back surgery in 2015 was followed by numbness in Collins' left foot, which is why it runs with a walking stick.
Despite the will to fight, Collins can no longer fulfill his job as a drummer.In an interview with the BBC, he recently said that it was frustrating: "I can hardly hold a drum stick in my hand, so there are physical things that stand in my way," said Collins.The pigeons are followed by two operations that he could never completely recover from.
For this, his 20-year-old son Nic took over the drums for the current tour.It was the first show of the cult band in 13 years and the first concert on its farewell tour.Collins recently indicated an interview with the music magazine "Mojo": "The England and America tour will be enough for me," he said.The tour comprises 37 gigs.
