Phil Collins recovering in hospital
Phil Collins is recovering from knee surgery. The 74-year-old musician - who admitted earlier this year that he is "very sick" - was the subject of online rumours last week that he was receiving hospice care, but his representative his confirmed to The Independent that is not the case. Instead, the former Genesis frontman is currently in hospital recuperating after having an operation on his knee. Phil - who has type 2 diabetes and ongoing complications from a 2007 spinal surgery which means he can "barely" hold a drumstick properly anymore - admitted earlier this year his health issues have meant he is no longer interested in playing music. He told MOJO magazine: '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.' The In the Air Tonight hitmaker would love to be able to drum again one day, but he devastatingly believes he's 'used up my air miles'. Speaking in the Phil Collins: Drummer First documentary, he said: 'It's still kind of sinking in a bit… I've spent all my life playing drums. To suddenly not be able to do that is a shock.' Phil picked up his first set of drumsticks aged five and he says the laborious playing has 'taken its toll' on his hands and legs. He added about his decision to retire: 'If I can't do what I did as well as I did it, I'd rather relax and not do anything. '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.' Phil has suffered for a long time with poor health since he injured a vertebrae in his upper neck while performing in 2009. Two years later, he stepped back from performing due to crippling nerve damage, which rendered him unable to play the drums, before returning in 2015. Promoting Genesis' reunion shows, he previously said: 'I'm kind of physically challenged a bit which is very frustrating because I'd love to be playing up there with my son.'

The Modern Family star posted photos of herself dressed in a hospital gown in an Instagram post, although she didn't share the reason behind the operation. "It's done! Round 2 #knee," she captioned the post. Many of Vergara's famous friends wished her well in the comments section, including her America's Got Talent co-star, Terry Crews, who wrote, "Proud of you!"

Sofía Vergara Undergoes Knee Surgery
Originally appeared on E! Online Sofía Vergara is on the mend. Over a year after revealing she underwent a successful knee surgery, the Modern Family alum gave an update on her health, sharing that she is now in recovery from a second operation. In a photo shared to Instagram July 25, Vergara—wearing a blue hospital gown and wristband—smiled for a selfie while sitting in a doctor's room with a privacy curtain behind her. And in a second shot, the 53-year-old showed a close-up of her leg, which featured a grey brace on her calf and a white bandage on her knee. "It's done," Vergara—who did not disclose why she needed the surgeries—captioned the images. "Round 2." Indeed, this was not the Griselda star's first time going under the knife. Back in April 2024, Vergara revealed that she underwent an operation on her knee and was being cared for by her then-boyfriend, orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman, who she announced her split from in January 2025 following more than a year of dating.

"Luv u." And Vergara's knee surgery isn't the only health journey she's gotten candid about over the years. In 2021, the actress reflected on being diagnosed with thyroid cancer at age 28. "When you're young and you hear that word, 'cancer,' your mind goes to so many places," she shared during a Stand Up To Cancer TV special at the time. "But I tried not to panic, and I decided to get educated. I read every book and found out everything I could about it." Luckily, Vergara's diagnosis wasn't life threatening, and she was deemed cancer free after having an operation to remove her thyroid gland, as well as undergoing radiation treatment. "I was fortunate to have caught it early and to have the support of my doctors and most importantly, my family," Vergara said. "I learned a lot during that time, not just about thyroid cancer but I also learned that in times of crisis, we're better together and if we're going to end cancer, it's going to require a team effort."
