Music legend Phil Collins held his last concert ever amid his ongoing health issues.

The band reunited for The Last Domino? Tour this year after postponing due to the coronavirus. The tour came after a 14-year live performance hiatus. 

PHIL COLLINS REMAINS SEATED DURING BERLIN CONCERT MONTHS AFTER REVEALING HE CAN NO LONGER PLAY THE DRUMS

Collins has suffered from numerous health issues in recent years, including dislocating vertebrae in his neck in 2007 that left nerve damage to his hands. He has used a cane since 2015, when he had back surgery, and revealed in September he can "barely hold" a drumstick. 

"I don’t do anything at all. I don’t practice singing at home, not at all. Rehearsing is the practice," Collins told the Guardian in September.

PHIL COLLINS REVEALS HIS DECLINING HEALTH HAS LEFT HIM UNABLE TO PLAY THE DRUMS ANYMORE

"These guys are always having a go at me for not, but I have to do it this way. Of course, my health does change things, doing the show seated changes things. But I actually found on my recent solo tours, it didn’t get in the way; the audience were still listening and responding. It’s not the way I would have written it, but it’s the way that it is," he continued. 

Original Genesis member Peter Gabriel and guitarist Steve Hackett were reportedly not present for the band’s final concert.

Watch Genesis Play the Final Song and Take a Last Bow at Their Farewell Concert

By Andy Greene

Andy Greene

Genesis formed in early 1967 when two rival bands at the prestigious Charterhouse boarding school in southeast England came together as one. They ended Saturday night at London’s O2 Arena at the final date of the group’s Last Domino reunion tour .

“Tonight is a very special night,” Collins told the crowd early in the evening. “It’s the last stop of our tour. And it’s the last show for Genesis… After tonight we’ve all got to get real jobs.”

There was a small degree of ambiguity about this being the last tour when they announced the reunion back in 2019. They even called it “The Last Domino?” to leave a bit of wiggle room, but Collins made it increasingly clear as the months went by that he had no intention of continuing with the band after the final show in London. To drive the point home further, they removed the question mark from the name of the tour during this last run and started billing it as “The Last Domino!”

Genesis fans from all over the world traveled to London to them wrap things up, and it was a very emotional evening. The setlist, however, was the same as every other show. It’s a mixtures of radio hits like “Invisible Touch” and “That’s All” with lesser-known tunes like “Duchess” and “Home by The Sea” and a few prog-era classics like “I Know What I Like” and “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.” Above, see fan-shot video of the grand finale of “Dancing With the Moonlight Knight” and “Carpet Crawlers.”

Phil Collins has severe physical problems that make it hard for him to stand for extended periods of time, but he stood up for a bow with the entire touring band. At the end, the extra musicians stood aside so core members Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, and Collins could take a final bow. Collins was the last one to depart, moving slowly towards the back stairs with a cane.

The last two songs were from the Peter Gabriel era of the band, and Gabriel himself was in the audience. Here’s a backstage photo of Collins, Gabriel, and their early Seventies road manager Richard McPhail. Gabriel is wearing a laminate giving him “AAA” access to the arena. Unfortunately, he didn’t use it to wander onstage and join the band for the final two songs. It’s not very surprising since Gabriel hasn’t sang a complete Genesis song in public since 1983. He also probably wanted them to have this moment to themselves.

Die-hard fans will never stop hoping a reunion tour with Gabriel and guitarist Steve Hackett. The fantasy is that they’d do it with Nicholas Collins subbing in for his father on the drums, much like he did on this tour. But it remains a very, very remote possibility. In all likelihood, this show at the O2 Arena was indeed their Last Waltz. It’s a sad day, but at least Gabriel was in the audience to see the end of the band he helped start all those years ago.

Phil Collins has taken the stage with Genesis for the last time. On Saturday, the 71-year-old drummer and singer performed with his rock band at London's O2 Arena, the last stop on the group's  The Last Domino? Tour , which came after a 14-year hiatus.

Phil, who performed the show while sitting down due to ongoing health issues, was onstage with Genesis bandmates Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks throughout the show. The musician's son, 20-year-old Nic Collins, played drums in his dad's place.

"Tonight is a very special night. Of course, we're playing in London. It's the last stop of our tour, and it's the last show for Genesis," Phil told the crowd . "It's difficult for us to believe that you still came out to see it. I guess after tonight we've all got to get real jobs."

Following the performance, Phil's daughter, 33-year-old Lily Collins , took to Instagram to celebrate her dad's career.

"Tonite [sic] marks the end of an era. To have witnessed this last show was truly the memory of a lifetime and an event I shall hold in my heart forever," Lily wrote. "Endlessly grateful doesn’t begin to do it justice. So much love was left on that O2 stage and an even bigger amount shared between an audience who didn’t want it to end."

"Thank you @genesis_band for the memories, thank you dad for being such an inspiration and thank you @nic_collins for making me the proudest sister there is," she continued. "50 years of songs later and still generations more to celebrate you long after this tour has finished..."

In a September interview with  BBC Breakfast , Phil, who suffered a spine injury in 2007, said he could "barely hold a [drum] stick with this hand," adding, "I'm kind of physically challenged a bit, which is very frustrating because I'd love to be playing up there with my son."

Speaking to  The Guardian   around the same time, Phil reflected on how his health struggles impacted the shows.

"Of course, my health does change things, doing the show seated changes things," he said. "But I actually found on my recent solo tours, it didn’t get in the way; the audience were still listening and responding. It’s not the way I would have written it, but it’s the way that it is."
