British rocker Eric Clapton, critic of coronavirus vaccines and pandemic restrictions, tested positive on COVID and canceled two upcoming concerts because he was “worried” about the virus spreading to colleagues and fans.
Clapton’s next shows will be postponed Tuesday in Zurich and Wednesday in Milan, he said on Monday on his official Facebook page. The review turned positive after a concert at the 77-year-old Royal Albert Hall in London on May 8th.
“Her medical advisers told her that if she continues her journey and performance as soon as possible, it could impede her full recovery,” the Facebook post read. Eric also wants to not pass any infection to anyone in his band, crew, promoters, staff, and of course fans.
“It’s really embarrassing that Eric avoided Covid during the lock-up and throughout the period of travel restrictions imposed, Eric had to follow Covid at this point,” he added. “But we have high hopes that he will recover enough by the end of the week to perform the remaining performances.”
In 2020, Clapton released an anti-blocking song called “Rise and Deliver With Van Morrison. It contains the verse: “Do you want to be free if you want to be a slave?” The 2021 musician’s song “This Has Gotta Stop” is filled with a similar theme.
Clapton said he had a “serious” reaction to the AstraZeneca vaccine.
This prompted him to criticize vaccine warranties as “propaganda”. Millions of people around the world have received these vaccines, and scientists say there is no doubt that the vaccines greatly reduce the risk of serious illness and death against all forms of coronavirus.
Clapton also said people who took Jobs became victims of “subliminal advertising”. He had previously promised not to perform in venues where fans would show proof of vaccination, but he broke that promise at a concert in New Orleans.
