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.
At the end of April, Lindsey Buckingham ended his North American tour early because he tested positive for COVID-19.
Today, the 72-year-old singer announced “with great sadness” that he is postponing his European tour, which was slated to start next week. “Along with other members of his band and crew, Lindsey contracted Covid-19 at the end of his latest North American tour, forcing that to end prematurely. Unfortunately, he’s still recovering and has no choice but to move the upcoming tour to a later date,” the statement reads. “This is heartbreaking for Lindsey, he was so excited to come to Europe for the first time as a solo artist this spring. We’re currently working on rescheduling the dates and hope to have some news to share on that very soon.”
Hopefully, he will be better soon, and his fans can go insane when they see him perform live.
On April 21st, CBS announced that Stephen Colbert tested positive for COVID-19 and that he will take a break from taping The Late Show.
Today, the network said, “Stephen is experiencing symptoms consistent with a recurrence of COVID. Out of an abundance of caution for his staff, guests, and audience, he will be isolating for a few additional days. The Late Show will not be taping new episodes until further notice.”
Colbert released his own three-word statement, “WORST. SEQUEL. EVER.”
The talk show host went over two years without getting coronavirus, and now he has gotten it twice in a month.
Hopefully, he will be better soon and back doing his late night show.
Yesterday, the Top 7 performed on American Idol. However, only five sang on the stage. That is because Ryan Seacrest announced at the beginning of the episode that the other two tested positive for COVID-19 since last week’s show.
Noah Thompson was diagnosed earlier this week, so he performed live from his hotel room. While Fritz Hager got the results yesterday morning. Therefore, they used his rehearsal videos for his performances.
Were their performances good enough to move them forward to the Top 5? Yes, they were. Hopefully, both of them will be feeling better by Sunday’s live show.
If not, maybe they will bring back Jay Copeland and Christian Guardino, who were eliminated last night.
Last week, Sharon Osbourne announced that her husband, Ozzy Osbourne, caught COVID-19. She left her new show in London to take care of him back in Los Angeles.
What happens if you are a caregiver of someone who has coronavirus; they might give it to you, And that is what happened to Sharon. Now, she is in bed battling COVID for a second time. She previously had it in 2020.
