Have You Seen Eric Clapton Live? Get Tickets Before It’s Too Late!

Eric Clapton is the guitar god that will end up outliving us all, but he’s put an expiration date on his touring days — after the next three years. The artist, who’s given us hit after hit such as “Tears in Heaven,” “I Shot the Sherriff,” and “Wonderful Tonight” says that he’s growing tired of life on the road, and he plans to stop at the age of 70. With Clapton currently being 67 years young, that means if you haven’t already seen him or you just want to do it all over again, you’ve only got three years to do it.

“The bit onstage, that’s easy,” Clapton recently told Rolling Stone. “If I could do that around my neighborhood that’d be great. You have guys in Texas that play their circuit, and it keeps them alive. But for me, the struggle is the travel. And the only way you can beat that is by throwing so much money at it that you make a loss. So the idea is I’m taking a leaf out of JJ Cale’s book: When I’m 70, I’ll stop. I won’t stop playing or doing one-offs, but I’ll stop touring I think.”

Clapton went on to tell the magazine that it was the airports that bothered him most, with a specific focus on forgotten pieces of metal, such as a belt that he had left on.

“I just don’t want to do that anymore,” he says.

But a lot can happen in three years and for now, Clapton’s got big plans and they include being out on the road. Starting March 14 he’ll be touring around North America; and then on April 12-13 he’ll be playing at Madison Square Gardens for the Crossroads Guitar Festival. Joining Clapton in the acts are other notable guitarists such as Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, and B.B. King, to name just a few.
