Frail Phil Collins, 71, sits during performance in last Genesis show in Paris while son Nic, 20, plays drums - as singer battles painful health condit
Phil's health problems started with an injured vertebrae in his upper back in 2009.
The injury was sustained during a show and left him with cripplingly painful nerve damage
The musician lost the feeling in his fingers following surgery and could only play drums for the band, as he did previously, if the sticks were taped to his hands.
In his 2016 autobiography he revealed he'd struggled with alcohol abuse after his retirement and the following year he stated he was a type 2 diabetic and had received treatment in a hyperbaric chamber after a diabetic abscess developed on his foot and became infected.
He also suffers from a condition called foot drop after a back operation, leaving him needing a stick to help him walk
