Performance NotesOver 50 years since making his debut at the Royal Albert Hall, Eric Clapton returns for three shows in 2017.

Since making his debut on 7 December 1964 as part of the Yardbirds, the legendary guitarist has surpassed an unfathomable 200 Hall performances, marked 50 years of music, and celebrated his 70th birthday here in 2015.

Clapton’s career as a professional musician has seen him create an abundance of albums with numerous bands, tour countless sold out shows worldwide, amass an impressive array of accolades and earn himself unwavering critical acclaim.

Before the concert Eric Clapton was awarded France's highest cultural honour of Commander in the Order of Arts and Letters by French Ambassador to the United Kingdom Sylvie Bermann. The accolade was presented to Clapton in the Hall's Green Room.

208th appearance at the Royal Albert Hall by Eric Clapton.
