Frail Phil Collins stands for emotional farewell at FINAL concert.

Phil Collins bade an emotional farewell to Genesis fans alongside bandmates Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks in London on Saturday - as the iconic band played their final ever concert.


This is heart rendering. 😔
Yeah. I can't even watch it.

I can't watch normal news even. I choose not to.

*Normals* can't 'get their mind around this', and that's OK with me.
I know I am an H.S.P (this is real and scientifically proved, you all can google Highly Sensitive Person)
and Empathic.
So, it all hits me profoundly hard, in ways I have yet to comprehend and articulate. It drains me, it traumatizes me.
Had to stop with the Criminal minds, had to stop with a LOT of TV shows with terror, gore, just violence and horror. Can only take that in very small doses or not at all.

I just saw Mr. Collins in the video, of, Separate Lives. What a lovely song. What a heart wrenching song. And I very recently purchased TARZAN CD, which he is the creator of and sings the songs to. It's so beautiful. Coloured my child's our collective childhood. For me it's a very profound CD, some of the songs I would not go into the WHYs, it's just too raw for me.

I have a very hard time when I see MY ICON, has died. I know we all must and will die. But sorry, I can't deal with death very well. No one taught me, unlike the lovely Dr. Leo Busaglia: Yeah. I MISS him too! He had the BEST PBS special, wore a mustard coloured shirt. I used to watch it on YouTube for solace, for laughter, for tears and for belonging.

Forever live in my mind, Mr. Collins and Leo.

Amen.

ADDENDUM:To the OP of this and any commentators: Please don't tell me why he is dying or how he is sick. Thanks. I will find out when I am stronger. Dealing with of my family who are in some levels or peril, including myself. Thanks for understanding.

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON "Make love, not to a body, but to a person." ( Dr. Leo Busaglia) was the most poignant statement I have ever heard as a youngster.
@Iwillwait Leo said this? <3

Peter Gabriel Genesis were and are my all time favourite band,and I have extremely good taste.However,I have to comment that this issue is of minor importance.Bill Bailey,the lead singer of local legends Bill Bailey and the Vomits has been missing again for several years...😢
My favorite song by this legend!
Even though he had many greats!
I will listen to this tonight!!!
My own concert here in my room
