Peter Frampton has announced a US tour. The run of dates kicks off at the Rose Music Center in Huber Heights, OH, and climaxes nearly two months later at the Amphitheater in Sandy, UT, on August 19. Full dates below.
Frampton wrapped up the Finale: The Farewell Tour run of US dates at the Concord Pavilion in Concord, California in October 2019, and was able to complete a run of UK shows late last year, but many expected the Farewell Tour dates to be the last time the former Humble Pie guitarist took to the road. Frampton was diagnosed with inclusion-body myositis after a fall in 2011, and had expected the condition to affect his ability to play.
“At the end of every Finale Tour show I did say, 'Never Say Never' and I am always full of hope for the impossible," says Frampton. "I'm very pleased to let you know that I am feeling strong and my fingers are still roaming the fretboard. Every note I play now has more meaning and soul. I love playing live and this fighter wants to stay in the ring for as long as he can. I'm so happy to be able to see you all one more time this summer."
In 2019, Frampton told Rolling Stone, “I want to obviously go out there playing my best at all times until I can’t. That’s why this is the farewell tour."
Tickets for the Never Say Never tour go on sale on April 14.
Last month, Frampton launched Frampton@50, a limited-edition vinyl box set containing his early 1970s' albums Wind of Change, Frampton’s Camel and Frampton. The numbered set is limited to just 2500 copies and comes with a reproduction of the promo poster included with early copies of Frampton’s Camel, as well as a certificate of authenticity.
The box set is released on July 28, and is available to pre-order now. A signed version – limited to just 250 copies – is available from the Peter Frampton webstore, with proceeds going to the Peter Frampton Myositis Research Fund.
