Phil Collins reveals he will never drum again due to spine injury


Oh Dear God in Heaven, why, oh why, could you not have stricken Phil with a vocal cord injury instead? I don't think I've ever read anything as recently chilling as this line: "But don't worry, I can still sing."

Now, sadly, it's all "Buster" soundtracks for the lot of us.
