Clapton misses Hall Of Fame for surgery
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 28 October 2009
Eric Clapton has pulled out of the second of two gigs to celebrate the US Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame’s 25th anniversary, due to take place at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Friday, to have some gallstones removed.
A statement issued by the guitarist’s publicist said that he be “recuperating at home in the UK and is very sorry to disappoint the fans and the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame”.
The two nights of concerts will feature performances by U2, Aretha Franklin, Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne and Annie Lennox, so Clapton’s not exactly going to be missed.
