Peter Frampton Announces His Farewell Tour

Guitar legend Peter Frampton will play one more tour after being diagnosed with a rare degenerative muscular disease.

Frampton took the CBS television in the USA to announce his medical issues. He told Anthony Mason that he has trouble getting up stairs and will have to use a cane. The condition is also starting to affect his guitar playing. “What will happen, unfortunately, is that it affects the finger flexors,” he said. “That’s the first telltale sign is the flexors, you know. So for a guitar player, it’s not very good.”

Frampton says the condition is not life threatening, it is life changing. “The reason I’m calling it the ‘farewell tour,’ again, is because I know that I will be at the top of my game for this tour and I will make it through this and people won’t be saying, ‘Oh you know, he can’t play as good.’ I can. But we just don’t know for how long,” he told Mason.

Peter Frampton has only announced North American dates to date. The tour will start in Tulsa, Oklahoma on June 18, 2019.
