Phil Collins Makes Rare Public Appearance Using Crutches Amid Ongoing Health Battles

Phil Collins recently stepped out for a rare public appearance as the music legend continues dealing with several serious health issues that have limited his mobility in recent years. According to USA Today, the former Genesis drummer attended the 50th anniversary celebration for King Charles III’s charity, The King’s Trust, at Buckingham Palace alongside his wife, Jill Collins. Photos shared from the event showed the singer using crutches while spending time with guests, including Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster.
