Eric Clapton refuses to play at venues that discriminate against those who are not 'vaccinated'.British rock icon Eric Clapton has said he will not perform at venues that require concertgoers to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said proof of vaccination must be shown at clubs and venues from September.
Clapton said he will not perform anywhere there is a "discriminated audience present".
His announcement came through the social media accounts of an outspoken anti-vaccine activist.
The guitarist 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.
In May, Clapton said he had experienced a "severe" reaction to the AstraZeneca vaccine.
In a letter to Mr Monotti, he blamed "propaganda" for overstating the safety of the vaccine. He added that he feared the "disastrous" reaction would leave him unable to play music again.
