'Very Lucky'
"My kidneys were packing up, my organs were just seizing up,” Collins told the Sunday Times. "People were coming to say goodbye."
Phil Collins reveals in a new interview that he nearly died in 2024 amid his battle with alcoholic addiction.
Speaking to the Sunday Times, the singer said that he was first admitted to a Swiss hospital in connection with his alcohol use in November 2023. He was initially discharged before Christmas that year, but was readmitted a few weeks later and placed into intensive care, where he lay unconscious.
“My kidneys were packing up, my organs were just seizing up,” Collins said of the situation. “People were coming to say goodbye. But I don’t remember them coming. I didn’t have no idea this was going on. They were all worried that they wouldn’t see me again. It could all have gone so terribly wrong.”
