By Scottie Andrew | CNNEric Clapton, the famed guitarist who has expressed skepticism about Covid-19 vaccine mandates and lockdowns, has postponed some tour dates after testing positive for Covid-19. He tested positive after performing at London’s Royal Albert Hall earlier this month, according to the post, and had to cancel appearances in Zurich and Milan. In 2020, Clapton performed a song Van Morrison wrote, called “Stand and Deliver,” featuring lyrics that were critical of the lockdown in the UK. Last year, Clapton called the side effects of his second Covid-19 vaccine “disastrous” and said the safety of the vaccines had been overstated due to “propaganda,” Rolling Stone reported. The post on Clapton’s Facebook page said it was “very frustrating” that Clapton should test positive after “avoiding Covid throughout lockdown and throughout the period when travel restrictions have been in place.”Clapton will reschedule the missed tour dates in the next six months, the Facebook post said.
