By his 80th birthday in March, Clapton had released 22 studio albums and numerous live recordings as a solo artist.

Clapton Continues to Perform Despite Illness – Song from Pandemic Era Sparked Debate
Political statements have been rare throughout Clapton’s over-60-year career. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, he caused a stir by suddenly voicing his opinions loudly. This reportedly irritated some of his friends, colleagues, fans, and even his family, as Clapton himself has stated. In the song “Stand And Deliver,” he compared vaccine mandates to slavery.
In 2013, Clapton was diagnosed with a nerve condition that has made playing the guitar increasingly difficult. Despite this, the musician continues to perform. Just this year, Clapton toured parts of Europe. In 2026, another world-famous singer is also scheduled to perform a concert in Munich.
