Music Legend, 74, Rumored to Be on Hospice Sets Record Straight Amid Declining Health
Concerns are mounting for Phil Collins after a recent hospitalization sparked rumors that he was on hospice. However, a rep for Collins set the record straight, telling TMZ that Collins is not on hospice — but he was hospitalized to undergo knee surgery.
Collins' health has been a topic of conversation for fans for years. The musician's health has been up and down since he suffered a spinal injury in 2007.
Collins, 74, has suffered with decreased mobility as well as mental health challenges, according to Today. Concerns seemed to kick into high gear after his Phil Collins: Drummer First documentary hit YouTube in December 2024.
'If I can't do what I did as well as I did it, I'd rather relax and not do anything," Collins said. "If I wake up one day and I can hold a pair of drumsticks then I will have a crack at it. I just feel like I've used up my air miles."
"The drumming has taken its toll on my hands and legs," he also said.
More recently, the Genesis icon previously told MOJO that he was "very sick."
"I keep thinking I should go downstairs to the studio and see what happens. But I'm not hungry for it anymore. The thing is, I've been sick, I mean very sick," Collins told the outlet.

If you want underrated Netflix shows, then watch these three programs (August 1-3)
While Netflix and TV mean the same thing for some people, that doesn't necessarily mean that finding something worth your time is all that easy. If you've ever found yourself scrolling through Netflix searching for just the right movie or show, then you know that the recommendations you get aren't necessarily always perfect. In light of the limitations of the algorithm, we've pulled together a list of three underrated shows that are all available on Netflix and all well worth your time. Take a look: Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on HBO Max, and the best movies on Disney+. Outlander (2014-) Although this show debuted to critical acclaim and has maintained a devoted fandom throughout its long run on the air, Outlander is no longer as beloved or popular as it once was. The series is romantic high fantasy and follows a woman living in the 1950s as she's transported 200 years into the past. She finds herself torn between the husband she left behind and the new man she's falling for in the past. Breathtakingly romantic, Outlander is definitely a show about love and all of its many complications and dramas, but it's incredibly good at being that. You can watch Outlander on Netflix. Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp (2015) The 2001 film Wet Hot American Summer remains, in some ways, the ideal gonzo comedy of its era. Nothing in the movie makes much sense, and none of it really has to, in part because it features a cast filled with people who would go on to become major stars. First Day of Camp attempts to recapture the magic of that original film and succeeds to a larger extent than you might expect. Not every single joke lands, but as a vehicle for laughs, you could do a lot worse than this revival series, which managed to get even Paul Rudd to show up for a moment. You can watch Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp on Netflix. Chef's Table: BBQ (2020) A show that's guaranteed to make even the vegetarians amongst us hungry, Chef's Table: BBQ is a food travelogue that hones in on barbecue in all of its various forms and travels all around the world to sample them. While Netflix offers many excellent food documentaries, this season of Chef's Table uniquely enhances your appreciation for a type of cuisine that has been integral to most people's lives for years. Barbecue has plenty of long, beautiful traditions, and Chef's Table: BBQ shines a spotlight on all of them. You can watch Chef's Table: BBQ on Netflix.

The LeapMove is a gamified camera designed to get kids off the couch
LeapFrog has announced a new electronic learning system that swaps controllers for a camera. In fact, the LeapMove looks like an oversized, kid-friendly webcam, but is designed to connect to TVs like a console and get kids off the couch using educational games that require full-body movements to play. It's reminiscent of the Xbox Kinect or the PlayStation 2's EyeToy, but simpler and much cheaper than competitors' products like the $249 Nex Playground. The LeapMove will be available through retailers including Target, Walmart, and Amazon for $69.99, and comes with 25 motion-based games designed for kids aged 4 to 7. It might be hard to pull the older end of that demographic away from games like Roblox, Among Us, and even Fortnite, but in addition to motion detection, the LeapMove uses its camera to make players appear as themselves or 'whimsical characters' in several games, which may appeal to younger kids. The games cover 'foundational school subjects' including math, reading, and spelling, and require players to do everything from dancing around to waving their arms and even attempting to catch on-screen objects. The LeapMove connects to a TV over HDMI, and instead of rechargeable batteries it needs access to a power outlet. It can be used either sitting beneath a TV or perched atop it like a webcam using a fold-out support. LeapFrog says additional games will be made available for the LeapMove at a later date, which can be loaded by connecting the device to a computer and using the company's LeapFrog Connect desktop app. They won't be free, but unlike the Nex Playground, the LeapMove doesn't come with any subscription fees. Parents concerned about privacy, particularly with devices that rely heavily on a camera, may appreciate that the LeapMove has no wireless connectivity. In 2018, VTech, LeapFrog's parent company, agreed to settle for a $650,000 fine after the FTC alleged it collected kids' personal information, including names, emails, and genders, through its KidiConnect mobile app. The LeapMove is completely standalone and keeps track of up to three players' progress locally.

Love Endured the Lockdown — and a Canceled Wedding Venue
Keren Ashley Dillard's serious intentions — and sense of humor — came across loud and clear as soon as Tevin Taylor spotted her photo after they matched on Tinder. 'She had a spray can that said 'No Clowns',' said Mr. Taylor, who was amused. In June 2020, while working remotely as a software developer and living with his parents in Yonkers, N.Y., where he grew up, he decided to message her. 'He looked really sweet,' said Ms. Dillard, charmed by a photo of him standing in the snow in front of the American Museum of Natural History in New York in a 'slightly oversized' winter jacket. Ms. Dillard, 27, who graduated with a bachelor's degree in architecture from Barnard, like him, also grew up in Yonkers and lived with her parents 15 minutes away from him. Mr. Taylor, 29, graduated cum laude with a bachelor's degree in computer science from the State University of New York at Oswego, and now works remotely as a first-level software engineer at American Express. As they were messaging, she mentioned that when she wasn't busy applying to master's programs in architecture, she was either bingeing something on Netflix or closely following the Black Lives Matter protests.
