Phil Collins Shares Near-Death Experience from Alcohol-Related Organ Failure
Phil Collins revealed he nearly died in 2024 due to organ failure linked to alcohol addiction. Initially hospitalized in Switzerland in late 2023, his condition worsened, leading to intensive care and a seven-month treatment. During this time, his kidneys and other organs began shutting down, and family members feared for his life. Collins has remained sober since and is preparing for his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. He has no memory of the critical period but expressed gratitude for surviving.
