Eric Clapton, Ex Heroin Addict, Singer of “Cocaine,” Will Cancel Shows Where Venues Require Vaccinations

Share

All the drugs have finally burned out Eric Clapton’s brain cells.

The singer who had a hit with the song, “Cocaine,” says he’ll cancel shows at venues that require vaccinations.

He is completely nuts at this point. This is from a former heroin addict, of all things. He has never been what we’d call a health nut.

But Clapton’s obstinate criticism of the vaccines is dangerous. Some people actually listen to him. Or are influenced by him. They should not be. We can appreciate Clapton’s musicianship without taking anything he says seriously.

He actually sent out a message reading: “Following the PMs announcement I feel honour bound to make my own: I wish to say that I will not perform on 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”

Please get vaccinated. Do not go to any large music shows unless everyone is required to proof of vaccination. This is not a joke. What a shame that Clapton has turned out to be so stupid.
