    Default Slowhand will not do gigs where COVID vaccination is required

    "Following the PM's announcement on Monday the 19th of July 2021, I feel honor bound to make an announcement of my own: I wish to say that I will not perform on any stage where there is a discriminated audience present. Unless there is provision made for all people to attend, I reserve the right to cancel the show," Clapton said via statement posted onto architect, film producer and anti-vaxxer Robin Monotti Graziadei's Telegram account.

    The news follows U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson's announcement Tuesday that as restrictions on social gatherings lift, nightclubs must require guests to show a Covid Pass from the U.K.'s National Health Service upon entry for everyone over the age of 18.

    Clapton has been releasing anti-vaccination and anti-lockdown statements and songs for close to a year now. In December 2020, Clapton joined fellow classic rocker turned anti-vaxxer Van Morrison on his song, "Stand and Deliver." The song features lyrics including, "Do you wanna be a free man / Or do you wanna be a slave?" and "Dick Turpin wore a mask too."

    They're stuck with that Astra disaster of a vaccine over there. Clapton said that after his vaccination he thought he'd never play guitar again. He had severe burning and or numbness in his hands for an extended period of time.

    I wasn't aware that he was playing concerts all that much anymore anyway. I think he/Morrison the drunk are losing their minds in their old age.

    Meh. 10 dates scheduled between Sept. and next May. Not exactly a tour. People are gonna be pissed if he cancels after they bought tix. Ticketmaster's fees are ridiculous, and you don't get them back on a refund.

    I took the first jab of AZ and straight away had severe reactions which lasted ten days. I recovered eventually and was told it would be twelve weeks before the second one…,” Clapton wrote in the letter.

    “About six weeks later I was offered and took the second AZ shot, but with a little more knowledge of the dangers. Needless to say the reactions were disastrous, my hands and feet were either frozen, numb or burning, and pretty much useless for two weeks, I feared I would never play again, (I suffer with peripheral neuropathy and should never have gone near the needle.) But the propaganda said the vaccine was safe for everyone…”

    plus I'm not sure I believe Clapton's story about the burning and numbness, they're saying that vax may cause blood clots.......he'd say anything to back up his anti-vax position
    you're right, Van The Man Drunk Morrison turned into a joke, still love the old stuff he did before stepping off that ledge

    Never considered that Clapton was fabricating those symptoms. Makes sense.

    Who'll do what where? Some has been that's now a lounge act in Vegas says something because he only performs in front of dimly lit bars at Indian casinos, full of 60+ year-olds, bussed in from retirement homes, and he's now The Word on vaccines and masks? Okay, whatever you say...

    Clapton is old but not a has been, He has long suffered from peripheral neuropathy and tinnitus.
    "Clapton is God" might not be true anymore - but he was one of the earliest superstars (Yardbirds/Cream)
    and has a career going back to the mid 60's

    Might be better karma for you all to show some compassion and respect for the legendary artist

    All anatta is doing is sharing Russian Active Measures to prevent the remaining unvaccinated people from getting the vaccine.

    But since the only people left who are unvaccinated are Conservatives, we don't really care.

    So yeah, Conservatives, listen to anatta...don't get the vaccine, and spread COVID to all your family and friends by not wearing a mask.

    When I die, turn me into a brick and use me to cave in the skull of a fascist

    I was planning on attending his concert here in Houston, but if Harris county is still on Orange alert and his concert allow the untouchable, I’m going to pass. A good friend of mine is dating Doyle Bramhall and we were going to get VIP passes, but I might have to pass.

    That AZ vaccine was a clusterfuck since the day trump gave them millions for research. They fucked up the first trials, and had to start all over. Only Putin's mess that Anatta got was worse. Some nations returned it, and demanded their money back.

    Shame. Slowhand is still a great guitar player, however delusional
