Happy Birthday to Peter Frampton, who turned 72 on Friday, April 22nd!!! Frampton is making good on returning to Europe — with three new UK dates newly announced. Back in October 2019 Frampton wrapped an exhaustive North American trek after being forced to slowly quit the road upon discovering he’s suffering from a degenerative muscle disease called Inclusion-Body Myositus (IBM), that slowly weakens the body’s muscles.
Frampton was set to play his final shows across Europe with a full scale tour during the spring of 2020 — until the pandemic sidelined his plans. As it stands now, eight shows are now on the books, with the Grammy-winning guitarist hitting England, Scotland, Belgium, Germany, France, and The Netherlands.
2021’s Frampton Forgets The Words features new takes on Radiohead’s “Reckoner,” George Harrison’s “Isn’t It A Pity,” Lenny Kravitz’ “Are You Gonna Go My Way?,” Roxy Music’s “Avalon” and Jaco Pastorious’ “Dreamland,” among others.
Frampton’s 2019 album All Blues topped the Billboard’s Blues Chart for a whopping 15 weeks. His 2020 autobiography, Do You Feel Like I Do?: A Memoir, debuted on The New York Times Bestsellers list.
In 2020, another Frampton “came alive” with the birth of Frampton’s first grandchild. Elle Frampton Homburger was born on April 6th to the guitarist’s fashion designer daughter Jade and husband, Samuel Homburger. Frampton has two other children, son Julian, who’s a musician and the leader of the Julian Frampton Band, and younger daughter Mia, who’s an actress and was featured in numerous TV and features — including Bridesmaids.
