Phil Collins bids emotional farewell to Genesis fans at his final ever live show

Last year Genesis hit the road together for their The Last Domino? reunion tour, but for legendary singer Phil Collins, his deck of dominoes has seemingly reached an end.

Taking to the stage at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday, the iconic drummer announced the concert was his final ever live show due to his deteriorating health.

The 71-year-old - who recently said that he can no longer hold a drumstick after surgery on his back - said an emotional goodbye to his fans and told the crowd he will now have to get a "real job".

Collins essentially retired from playing the drums in concert in 2009 after he suffered nerve damage in his hands following a dislocated vertebra in his upper neck, making it impossible for him to play or even stand on his own for long periods of time.

He's since left drum duties to his son Nic Collins and has performed seated for all of his recent shows.

The lineup also featured longtime touring bassist Daryl Stuermer.

Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett did not be taking part in the reunion.
