Why wouldn't all attend? But unvaccinated people would have to show a negative test. I hope he's not saying that everybody should gather in there without showing they're protected or negative.

ANNOUNCEMENT FROM ERIC CLAPTON:
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.
- - Eric Clapton.

People that didn't have their jab yet are at high risk: Those not vaccinated and vaccinated can still transmit the virus.

Indeed. But the risk is very low.

That "announcement" doesn't appear on any of Clapton's official sites.

Lol.
It doesn't appear he's looking to break any rules. Just deciding on what venue's he will/won't play at, same as any other band.

Primarily posted for sarcasm as it relates to Mick's football dustup, but...
Looks like a rule, smells like a rule.. might just be a rule he thinks he's above (didn't say he broke ).
"following UK prime minister Boris Johnson's July 19 announcement that proof of vaccination would become an entry requirement to nightclubs and venues hosting large crowds.

Got it, don't think its possible for him to be above or brake any rule, I don't think any venue is consulting him for their requirements. He has to abide by whatever they require.

Like so many other people Clapton mixes things up by using terms like 'discrimination' (or – like others did – 'apartheid'). But there's an inportant difference: While you cannot change the color of your skin or your sex it's very easy to change you vaccination status.

Sounds like Clapton needs to rename his US tour the Superspreader Tour. No way in hell would I go to any of these shows. Lets see what UK looks like in 6 months to see if the RAH shows make sense.

If the cancellation happens at all, it will be more likely the RAH than the U.S. shows where proof of vaccination is not required as far as I know...
Don’t know about the Euro shows, though. Does anybody have information re. gigs and requirement of proof of vaccination across the Channel, not only Clapton concerts but in general?
