Eric Clapton, the iconic Yardbirds, Blind Faith and Cream musician, is going on an exclusive UK tour next spring. The guitarist will be hitting five venues across the UK and Ireland including two nights at the Royal Albert Hall \u2013 here\u2019s everything you need to know. <\/p>
Legendary rock and blues guitarist Eric Clapton is set to headline a limited UK tour in 2024.<\/p>\n
The 78-year-old will be performing six shows next May, with two nights planned at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall. Clapton first performed at the London venue with Yardbirds in 1964, and has since performed there more than 200 times, even saying that playing there is like \u201cplaying in [his] front room\u201d.<\/p>\n
The exclusive tour will likely see the guitarist perform hits from over 60 years in the music industry \u2013 from the 1965 hit For Your Love to the record-breaking solo song Wonderful Tonight.<\/p>\n
Clapton was a key member of the band\u2019s Yardbirds, the Bluesbreakers, Blind Faith and most famously Cream for the first part of his career, before going solo in the 1970s. During that time, he also performed with groups Delaney & Bonnie and Derek and the Dominos while performing some of his best-known hits, like Layla.<\/p>\n
He also released a cover of Bob Marley\u2019s I shot the Sheriff and released the award-winning My Father\u2019s Eyes in 1998. Over the years, he\u2019s sold 280 million records, received 18 Grammys and came second in Rolling Stone\u2019s 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. He also received a CBE in 2004 for services to music.<\/p>\n
