Eric Clapton won't perform at venues requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination

He also said this:

Do we have any foreigners in the audience tonight? If so, please put up your hands… So where are you? Well wherever you all are, I think you should all just leave. Not just leave the hall, leave our country … I don’t want you here, in the room or in my country. Listen to me, man! I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the wogs out. Get the coons out. Keep Britain white …

He should stick to cocaine.

Yeah, I saw that. The reader comments from the Washington Post article on this are hilarious. A sampling:

"... and I refuse to appear at venues that features Eric Clapton. Seems it is a win-win situation for the both of us."

"Another artist who should keep at being an artist and not an epidemiologist.

Unvaccinated people are the ONLY ones dying of Covid... and everything should be done to promote vaccination.

Anything else is criminal."

"Anyone equating this health measure with SLAVERY is COMPLETELY out of step with the times. Talk about an elitist, privileged perspective. "

"Could care less about Eric Hasbeen."

"Another rich, out of touch libertarian jerk. I hope someone sues him for hosting a superspreader event. If anyone shows up, that is."

"I've got a Clapton CD I'll sell for $1, in fact I'll give you $5 if you come get it."

All comments overwhelmingly critical of him, his music, and his stance on this. Major fail.

Major fail?

You are talking about it.

More reader comments from the Washington Post article on this:

"With the Delta variant running rampant, no way in hell would I go to ANY concert with unvaccinated people. Clapton should follow Springsteen’s example; smaller venues and proof of vaccination required."

"What an idiot! Van Morrison, too?

That comment in the article - “Keep Britain White” - wow, did not know. Drugs made him say it? I do like his music but he just lost 1000 points from me. Plenty of good musicians to replace him. "

"I was sad when the old Eric Clapton died and this grumpy, crusty old man took his place."

"To say it’s discrimination to require an audience to be vaccinated is nonsensical.

I wouldn’t feel safe in a venue where people were unvaccinated. So I wouldn’t attend. And I’m fully vaccinated.

I wonder sometimes where people get these idiotic ideas!!! What happened to the notion of looking out for each other?"

"Slow Mind"

"Because not helping to spread a deadly virus when hospitals are overwhelmed makes me a slave. Got it."

"A popover with more user information

Perhaps an ICU would be a more suitable venue for him."

Fail, Eric. majorly.

We also talked about that loser called Trump.

The Post is a super liberal newspaper read by the super liberal douchebags like you so what do you expect from the comments?

Get lost Eric. You are part of the problem. Your talent is overwhelming and undeniable but no way in hell would I see you given your misinformation strategy that rivals Tucker Carlson's rants.

The left loves a good echo chamber.

I didn't know he was still alive

The left loves a good echo chamber.

The right prefers a toxic echo-chamber.

Loser. I had only heard recently about his 1976 racist rant, but, while horrible, that was 45 years ago, and for all I know his attitude has changed.

Making playing in venues a political statement though makes him a loser...I've not really been overly fond of him as a person anyway, but this clarifies that he is currently a loser.

Why am I not surprised that a recovered Cocaine addict like Eric would not support following safety rules?

Eric is irrelevant at this point.

Dude had an adverse reaction to the vaccine since he had already had COVID. Vaccinating those who have already had COVID is pointless and dangerous.

He's always been the most overrated guitarist of all time, now he can add most idiotic to his resume! 😂😂😂

Hilarious watching the resident authoritarian goon squad castigating an over-the-hill guitarist for being "political", but fawning over over-the-hill soccer flops in Tokyo being "...So brave!, making a gesture for the voiceless, fighting the systemic oppression" etc.. ROFL

Good for him

Still one of the biggest acts going.

But the pro vax crowd calls him over the hill and a has been.

What silly people
