The musician Phil Collins is 75 years old. In April 2024 he was in great danger. He stayed for 7 months in a hospital in Switzerland. His kidneys stopped working. Also other organs almost stopped working.

The cause of the illness was too much alcohol. Phil Collins drank wine already for breakfast. His family came to the hospital. They wanted to say goodbye to him. The doctors asked if the machines should keep him alive.

Phil Collins had great luck. He survived the hard time. He says: I do not drink alcohol anymore. His pancreas is broken. He can also not play drums anymore. He needs help from a nurse.

Today he lives alone in Switzerland. He wants to have a partner again. But he almost never leaves the house. He was married 3 times before. He has 5 children. One daughter is the actress Lily Collins.
