Clapton made headlines yesterday (July 21) when he issued a statement in response to U.K. Prime Minster Borris Johnson and his order that people will need to show proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to enter any nightclub or any other large crowd venue beginning at the end of September.
Clapton’s statement was shared via the Telegram account of architect/noted anti-lockdown activist Robin Monotti Graziadei and reads, “Following the PM’s announcement on Monday the 19th of July 2021 I feel honour 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.”
