Why do you suppose Phil Collins played the way he did for so long? As most of you know, he crushed his vertebrae which affected his hands. Even though the operation was a success fixing his vertebrae, his hands still aren't back to normal. He doesn't know if they'll ever return to normal or not. Many reports have said it's "permanent" but that's not what he Collins said.
In any case, what do you think happened? Did he know of his poor posture and was just stubborn and carried on playing like he did thinking he'll be fine? Surely over 30 years as a professional drummer in a band, drummers had to have approached him and told him about his poor posture on the drumset?!? I haven't seen any interviews where he's been asked a question like this. All these reports just mention what I said in the first paragraph.
