Phil Collins will be at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction but has declined to perform, saying he must be in peak voice and “match fit.” He hopes to work more on material in his home studio, noting his last original release was 2002’s Testify, and leaving open the possibility of performing in the future if his health improves.
