Eric Clapton 'refuses' to play shows if vaccine proof is required
Eric Clapton was not happy about Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s latest announcement this week. On Monday, July 19, Johnson said: “I don’t want to have to close nightclubs again as they have elsewhere. But it does mean nightclubs need to do the socially responsible thing.”
Johnson went on: “As we said last week, we do reserve the right to mandate certification at any point if it’s necessary to reduce transmission.
“And I should serve notice now that by the end of September, when all over 18s have had their chance to be double jabbed we’re planning to make full vaccination the condition of entry to nightclubs and other venues where large crowds gather.”
In response to this, Clapton posted on the Telegram account of film producer and architect Robin Monotti: “Following the PM’s announcement on Monday the 19th of July 2021 I feel honor-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.” (sic)
