PETER FRAMPTON
Peter Frampton, who presented farewell shows in 2019 and 2022, is returning to the road with his Never Say Never Tour, which comes to the Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, July 16. Tickets go on sale April 14 at 10 a.m.; visit ticketmaster.com.
Other Northeast shows will include the Wind Creek Event Center in Bethlehem, Pa., July 15; The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, N.Y., July 23 and 25; and The Paramount in Huntington, N.Y., July 26.
Frampton, now 72, announced his farewell because of health problems; he suffers from inclusion body myositis, a progressive muscle disorder, and now sits while performing, instead of standing. But he says he is feeling good enough to tour again.
“At the end of every Finale Tour show I did say, ‘Never Say Never’ and I am always full of hope for the impossible,” Frampton said in a press release. “I’m very pleased to let you know that I am feeling strong and my fingers are still roaming the fretboard. Every note I play now has more meaning and soul. I love playing live and this fighter wants to stay in the ring for as long as he can. I’m so happy to be able to see you all one more time this summer.”
