Phil Collins has been hospitalised for recovery after knee surgery.

Despite speculation that the Genesis frontman has been receiving hospice care, his rep shut down concerns about his health.

In a statement to People, he insisted that rumours of any terminal illness are "completely incorrect".

The latest update comes six months after the drummer shared how his health issues - which included severe nerve damage from a 2007 spinal injury - had been impacting his ability to make music.

"I keep thinking I should go downstairs to the studio and see what happens," he told Mojo magazine in February.

"But I'm not hungry for it anymore. The thing is, I've been sick, I mean very sick."

The musician, who shares five kids with three ex-partners, decided to officially retire in 2022 after decades of drumming had severely impacted the mobility in his hands and legs.

"If I can't do what I did as well as I did it, I'd rather relax and not do anything," the In the Air Tonight singer shared at the time.

"If I wake up one day and I can hold a pair of drumsticks, then I'll have a crack at it. But I just feel like I've used up my air miles."
