Slowhand breaks own COVID tour mandate
— WENN
Eric Clapton has broken his vow not to play venues with COVID vaccine mandates by taking the stage at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.
The public-health skeptic told fans he would never perform at a venue that required proof of vaccination, but on Saturday he reversed that decision for his latest tour date.
Clapton said earlier this year: “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 is vaccinated but made it clear he regretted that decision after suffering “disastrous” side effects.
