Phil Collins has put aside health problems to attend his induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Los Angeles on Nov. 14.
Collins, 75, walked the red carpet at Los Angeles' Peacock Theater using two canes, accompanied by his family, including son Nicholas Collins and daughters Lily and Joely Collins.
The former Genesis frontman was inducted for his solo career, having previously entered the Hall of Fame with Genesis in 2010.
Collins joins a star-studded 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame class that includes Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Oasis, Sade, the late Luther Vandross and Wu-Tang Clan. Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Celia Cruz, Fela Kuti and Gram Parsons are being honored with the Early Influence Award, while legendary producer
Rick Rubin is among the Musical Excellence honorees.
In May, Collins told "BBC Breakfast" he had turned down an invitation to perform at the Rock Hall ceremony. He said he would need to rehearse first and worried about wearing out his voice before he got onstage.
A 2007 spinal injury left Collins with nerve damage. When Genesis played its final concert at London's O2 Arena on March 26, 2022, Collins sang from a chair while his son Nic played drums.
In August, Collins told The Sunday Times about an April 2024 hospitalization tied to his drinking. His kidneys were failing, and his manager called his five children to his bedside. Collins said he didn't remember the visits and hadn't had a drink since.
