Phil Collins has been brought to tears after being honoured with an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The Genesis drummer and frontman, 75, was among several British acts who were inducted at the ceremony, which was held in Los Angeles on Saturday night.

Collins has not performed on stage since 2022, having suffered from health complications including five operations on his knee, and has previously stated he can only walk with assistance.

He has also suffered from back and arm injuries throughout his life caused by years of drumming.

During the ceremony, he took to the stage slowly using a pair of canes and cried after receiving a huge ovation from the crowd, which included his daughter, actor Lily Collins.

Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker inducted Collins and praised him for his success as both a drummer and a hit-making pop singer in the 1980s.

He said Collins’ song, In The Air Tonight, had given the world “arguably the most badass drum fill of all time”, which Barker then performed alongside Cynthia Erivo.

Speaking on stage, Collins said: “I grew up just wanting to play the drums. Everything else has been a really happy accident. I can’t believe, when I look back, how life has gone.”

Collins had already been inducted into the hall as a member of Genesis, but now also gets the solo honour.
