Phil Collins, once the unstoppable heartbeat of Genesis and a solo icon, is now confronting a reality he never wanted to face. At 70, he can no longer hold a drumstick, his spine damaged from decades bent over the kit, vertebrae crushing his spinal cord.

Forced to sell the house he loved, Collins watched his sanctuary slip away just as his body did the same. What remains is a man marked by music, pain, and a dignity tested but not entirely broken.
