(The letter was shared to the paper by Robin Monotti Graziadei, a lockdown activist.) Clapton wrote that after taking “the first jab” in February, he “straight away had severe reactions which lasted ten days.” In a letter to the editor published in the May 12 edition of The Telegram, Clapton criticized the “propaganda” associated with the vaccine. What was planned as Clapton’s first tour in some time has thus been delayed two years and is yet another blow to the live concert industry. Then, on March 1 of this year, an announcement citing the “ongoing COVID restrictions to mass gathering” pushed the shows to 2022. In March of that year, they were initially moved to 2021. Many of the European dates were originally scheduled for 2020. Throughout spring of 2021, Slowhand expanded his 2022 European tour with several additional dates. The show will feature Jimmie Vaughan as special guest. The concerts will be Clapton’s only North American dates for 2021 and will precede his European tour, which was rescheduled to Spring of 2022 due to ongoing COVID restrictions in Europe.Įric Clapton’s band for these shows will include Doyle Bramhall II, Paul Carrack, Nathan East, Sonny Emory, Steve Gadd and Chris Stainton with Sharon White and Katie Kissoon on backing vocals.
Tickets for the shows go on sale starting this Friday, June 18 at 9 a.m.
