Phil Collins, 75, says that about two years ago he came close to dying following an alcohol-related health crisis, and that his children were summoned to say final goodbyes. In remarks described in coverage of his comments, Collins says he did not believe he had an alcohol problem at the time, despite continuing to drink. One report also refers to his drinking habits, including drinking wine for breakfast, as part of the pattern that contributed to his condition. The accounts describe an incident that left him near death and prompted his family to be brought in for what were treated as end-of-life moments. After the crisis, Collins reflects on his earlier outlook and suggests he lacked an awareness of the extent of the problem. The reporting focuses on the near-death episode and Collins’ description of how his family became involved, along with his claim that he did not recognize the seriousness of his drinking while it was ongoing.
