Eric Clapton has said he will not perform at any venues that require attendees to show proof of vaccination.

The guitarist joined Van Morrison, Ian Brown and Richard Ashcroft in hitting out against Covid regulations as the economy reopens.

He said he will not play “any stage where there is a discriminated audience present.

“Unless there is provision made for all people to attend, I reserve the right to cancel the show.”

The rock star said he felt “honour bound” to make the statement, which was posted on Wednesday to the accounts of Italian architect and film producer Robin Monotti.

Clapton’s next scheduled UK performances are at the Royal Albert Hall in May 2022. The venue will host the Proms from 30 July to 11 September without social distancing.

Attendees will be required to provide the status of their vaccination or immunity status.

Yes, I’m worried about the Delta variant and rightly so, but I’ll be honest I’m mostly getting vaccinated knowing that it will significantly reduce my risk of being exposed to an Eric Clapton concert. https://t.co/oC1psH9vyA
