Dailymail.co.uk is reporting:
PHIL COLLINS today revealed he will never drum again because he is suffering from a painful spine injury.
The former Genesis star can't even hold his sticks after years of sitting in front of a drumkit.
Collins, 58, whose hits include 'In The Air Tonight', said: "After playing drums for 50 years, I've had to stop. My vertebrae have been crushing my spinal cord because of the position I drum in. It comes from years of playing. I can't even hold the sticks properly without it being painful, I even used to tape the sticks to my hands to get through."
But this is not the end of his music career, as Collins told fans: "Don't worry, I can still sing."
