Phil Collins Says He’s a ‘Well Man’ Now and Hints at the ‘Possibility of Doing Some Shows’ Amid Health Battle: ‘You Haven’t Heard the Last of Me’

Phil Collins was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist on Saturday at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. This marks his second induction into the institution, having previously entered in 2010 as a member of Genesis. Travis Barker inducted Collins, noting the musician's significant influence as a drummer and his ability to maintain successful careers in both Genesis and as a solo act.

During his acceptance speech, Collins addressed his health, stating, "I'm really not as bad as it looks. I'm much better," and calling himself "a well man now," according to Variety. He also told the crowd, "You haven't heard the last of me. I promise you that," as reported by Billboard and Consequence.

Collins did not perform at the ceremony. Billboard reports that while he previously declined an invitation to play earlier this year due to not being "match-fit" for rehearsals and singing, he did not rule out a return to the stage. Cynthia Erivo performed "In the Air Tonight" during the event with Barker on drums.
