Eric Clapton straight up said that he would not appear at any venues which required attendees that they have already been vaccinated against Covid-19.

According to Rolling Stone, the English rock and blues guitarist issued his statement after Prime Minister Boris Johnson's announcement, July 19, that vaccine passes would be required to enter nightclubs and venues.

Film producer and architect Robin Monotti announced Clapton's statement in a Telegram account, who was also skeptical of the vaccine and expressed other doubts about the UK government's response to the pandemic.

This followed after Clapton previously shared a message about his "disastrous" health experience after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine on Monotti's Telegram page.
