Eric Clapton Vows to Stop Touring

 

 

 

Eric Clapton has let fans know they only have three more years to catch him in concert.  Talking with Rolling Stone, Clapton said that he still loves being on stage, but called travel a 'struggle', claiming that he spends so much money trying to make his time on the road more comfortable that he sometimes loses money touring.  Saying he plans to stop touring when he turns 70, the now 67 year-old guitar great said he will still do an occasional one-off concert.  His top peeve is one a lot of road warriors hate - dealing with TSA screenings, telling RS, 'I never get it right. I forget to take off my belt, or I have change in my pocket. Next thing I know, 'Can you come over here please?'  I just don't want to do that anymore.'
