On Tuesday (April 11), the rock legend announced that he’s heading out on the Never Say Never Tour in the latter half of 2023. The tour kicks off on June 21 in Huber Heights, Ohio, and visits a series of theaters across the country in cities including Boston, Niagra Falls, Charlotte, Orlando and Atlantic City before wrapping up in Sandy, Utah, on August 19. Tickets go on sale Friday (April 14).
In 2019, Frampton announced that he’d been diagnosed with IBM, a muscle disorder that impacted his ability to play guitar, and that his Peter Frampton Finale—The Farewell Tour would be his last. He also donated one dollar from every ticket sold to the Peter Frampton Myositis Research Fund at Johns Hopkins, which he founded after getting the diagnosis. The fund was set up at John Hopkins University where he’s receiving treatment.
“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 shares 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. Much love, Peter.”
On July 28, Frampton will release the limited edition box set, Frampton@50, that features three famous albums from the early days of his career between 1972 and 1975: Wind of Change, Frampton’s Camel and Frampton.
“I listened to all three albums and was whisked back in time,” Frampton previously said about the box set. “It was such an emotional journey for me hearing these songs again, as the music and my life at that time all came flooding back. I have enjoyed being involved in every aspect of the production of this album set.”
