Eric Clapton is postponing his upcoming shows because he has COVID-19. You know, that plague he won’t get vaccinated against.
Eric Clapton is unfortunately suffering from Covid having tested positive shortly after the second concert at the Royal Albert Hall. He has been told by his medical advisors that if he were to resume traveling and performing too soon, it could substantially delay his full recovery. Eric is also anxious to avoid passing on any infection to any of his band, crew, Promoters, their staff and of course the fans.
So, after intensive internal discussion, it has been decided with great regret and apologies to all those concerned to postpone the performances in Zurich on 17th May and Milan on 18th May, the present hope being to be able to resume the tour starting with the concerts in Bologna on 20th and 21st May.
It is very frustrating that having avoided Covid throughout lockdown and throughout the period when travel restrictions have been in place Eric should have succumbed to Covid at this point in time, but we very much hope he will be sufficiently recovered by the end of the week to be able to perform the remainder of the planned performances.
Clapton cares so much about his fans that he is willing to perform while he is still testing positive for coronavirus. Therefore, he is risking their health.
And his concert is not one worth getting COVID over. I saw him once, and I am happy the tickets were free. It was so dull I felt the air conditioner. If he was that much of a yawn 20 years ago, then imagine how sleep-inducing his shows are now.
Stay home and listen to his old stuff. This way, you can save the money on a show that will put you to sleep. Seriously, I am yawning just thinking about it.
