Oh...... really.....
"Legendary singer and drummer of the multi-platinum band, Genesis, Phil Collins was a victim of spinal complications due to spending over 50 years behind a drum set. Phil had severe cervical compression and was unable to even hold a set of sticks without excruciating pain. He was also experiencing radicular pain and neurological dysfunction which made it difficult for him to tighten his hands and hold the sticks. In 2009 he told fans that he would never be able to play drums again. However, after a spinal decompression, Phil is able to again hold sticks and beginning to play drums again, pain-free."
There are even specialists who work with drummers.
