\u201cI got COVID in hospital \u2013 my kidneys started to back up, you know, everything that started that could, all seemed to converge at the same time\u201d, he revealed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had five operations on my knee now \u2013 I\u2019ve got a knee that works and I can walk, albeit with assistance, you know, crutches or whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n
Collins\u2019 music career started in 1970 when he became the drummer for Genesis, and he also had a solo career in the 1980s which included hits such as Against All Odds and Two Hearts, while he remained with the band.<\/p>\n
