Eric Clapton, I'm not playing where vaccination is required

(ANSA) - NEW YORK, JUL 22 - Eric Clapton will not play in clubes in concert halls where anti-Covid vaccination is required: this was announced by the guitarist himself, following the directives of the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who 'green pass' in the United Kingdom for clubs and venues that will host major events.

    "Following the Prime Minister's announcement on Monday July 19, my honor obliges me to make an announcement myself," Clapton said. "I want to tell everyone that I will never play on any stage in the presence of a discriminated audience - he stressed -. If it is not possible for everyone to be able to attend the concert, I reserve the right to cancel the show".

    Clapton said he had a "disastrous experience" with the AstraZeneca vaccine. His decision could also involve Italy where Clapton will perform next year with stops in Milan and Bologna, while he has several concerts in the United States starting next September.

   The British artist thus takes a position opposite to that of Bruce Springsteen who will require a fully vaccinated audience for his next performances on Broadway. (HANDLE).
