Peter Frampton Releases Royal Albert Hall Concert Album
![peter frampton tour 2022 europe](https://bestclassicbands.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Peter-Frampton-at-Royal-Albert-Hall-Album.jpg)
The concert was part of a brief European tour representing his first concerts in three years. The classic rock legend had cancelled the 2020 concerts due to the Covid-19 pandemic, of what was originally billed as his finale tour of Europe and the U.K. Frampton had completed the North American edition in October 2019 and at the time they were thought to be his final dates. Then in Dec. 2019, news arrived of five 2020 shows in the U.K. as well as concerts in many European countries, though they were postponed to 2022.
“Great news!! I am continuing my PF Finale Tour across the continent,” Frampton wrote at the time of the 2022 European and U.K. announcement. “My band and I have been chomping at the bit to play and can’t wait to keep our promise to play for you again. Thanks for your patience.”
On April 11, 2023, came the surprising news that Frampton would return with his “Never Say Never” tour.
“At the end of every Finale Tour show I did say, ‘Never Say Never’ and I am always full of hope for the impossible,” said Frampton in the 2023 tour announcement. “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.” A new leg begins in November. Tickets are available here and here .
Watch him perform “Baby, I Love Your Way” from the Royal Albert Hall album
Frampton had announced the original cancellation of the Europe/U.K. 2020 dates on his Facebook page on April 21, 2020, writing, “I am so sorry to have to announce that at this time because of the COVID-19 virus my UK/EU tour has now been cancelled. All ticket holders should be in touch with their point of purchase for refunds. I couldn’t be more disappointed. My apologies to all.”
After the 2022 tour’s first concert, he wrote, “Thank you Stoke!! What a great first night with you. Much love to you all. Never say never, right?!”
Watch him perform “Show Me the Way” at Royal Albert Hall

Listen to the album opener, “Something’s Happening,” as well as the nearly 17-minute closer, “Do You Feel Like We Do”
On Feb. 21, 2019, a few months before he turned 69, Frampton revealed in an interview that aired on CBS This Morning: Saturday that he has a rare and incurable muscular disease that causes the muscles to weaken slowly.
The North American edition of Finale—The Farewell Tour began June 18, 2019 in Tulsa, Okla. Its final date was Oct. 12 in Concord, Calif., near San Francisco.
He published the 304-page Do You Feel Like I Do?: A Memoir in 2019, via Hachette Books.

Peter Frampton’s music has been a part of my life since I was a teenager. Today at 58 years old his Live CD is one my all-time favorites!
the timing of Alive And how he solidified and fulfilled everyone’s fantasy of being a rock guitar star Never has there been an album with so many crystal clear sweet solos Frampton is extremely underrated. Every guitar great is jealous but would never admit it. It was so successful that he was basically punished for being too popular.
I am so upset that I’ve missed his last tour. I sooo hope he plays somewhere in the U.S. again. Idk how I let us miss him! I sure hope he does another show within 500 miles of the Missouri bootheel❤
I saw Peter Frampton with Gary Wright at the Miami baseball stadium back in 1976 and it was one of the best shows ever. I think it really sucks that the rock & roll hall of fame has not welcomed him. They notice performers that are not rock musicians but not him?
I was there! One of many great shows at that venue.
I’m planning on traveling from Australia to see Peter before he retires. Looks like I’m heading to Netherlands in Jun 21 unless anyone has any other suggestions?

Peter Frampton Feels Alive: Exclusive Interview
Peter Frampton is feeling good – and he's about to embark on a tour he never thought possible.
When the guitarist stepped off the stage in November 2022, having performed the last of his Farewell Tour concerts in Europe, it was supposed to be the end. In 2019, he revealed a diagnosis of inclusion body myositis (IBM), a degenerative muscular disease that prompted Frampton to launch a final tour. He was eager to embark on one last trek across the U.S., U.K. and Europe while he still felt he could play well enough. He planned to stick to studio work and smaller performances after that.
But then there was a wind of change. In January, Frampton returned to live performances for a free, sold-out performance that was recorded for a TV special . And he's now set to launch his Never Say Never North American tour, which begins June 21 in Huber Heights, Ohio, and lasts until Aug. 19 in Sandy, Utah.
It is, as Frampton tells UCR, the bonus tour he never anticipated. When asked what he's most looking forward to with the upcoming trek, Frampton replied with a healthy dose of laughter. "Making it through to the end!"
This isn't a tour you expected to happen. You completed a farewell tour last year and that was supposed to be the end. What changed? The reason for my choice is that I quit. [ Laughs ] After Europe, I had quit, because we did the finale tour, U.S. and Canada in 2019, and then finished in October, and May 2020 we were going to go to Europe, but obviously everybody got shut down [because of COVID]. So then I didn't think I was going to make it until they dangled the Royal Albert Hall in front of [us in] November. So we did go - we did like eight shows in Europe, which was amazing. And then we came back and did a one-off TV show [in the U.S.] with an invited audience, and I thought, If I'm still able to play, why am I sitting at home? I mean, I have to be honest ... it's different, my hands are not as strong, therefore, every note I play, for me, is more important, and I think I put more into each note now than I ever did, because of the predicament. And time is not my friend.
Was it a difficult decision to make? It was a more difficult decision earlier on because I had made this statement — I'm allowed to change my mind — that I wanted to quit while I was ahead and could still play at the top of my game, which was pretty much the finale tour. I was pretty much still at the top of my game. And things have slipped a little, but my band said, "What are you talking about? We can't notice any difference." So I said, "Well, I know," because of the choices that I would make in an ad-lib solo, which is what I do all night. My choices are different, but they're not worse. It's just a different way of playing. It's challenging — I love a challenge, and it's almost more enjoyable. It's so weird. With less, how can it be more enjoyable? I don't know, but I'm just enjoying the fact that I can still play.
Will you be seated for these performances? Yes, I have to be. I mean, I can stand up, and at home or in the studio I tend to stand up to play, but here I can fall on a rubber mat. [ Laughs ] Unfortunately I get too excited when I'm playing that, who knows, my legs might give way.
Does that affect your playing style very much? I think it does affect it to a certain degree, but I kind of play as if — I have it slung to the side, with no arms on the stool, so that it's kind of like I'm still standing. It's halfway between the two.
I understand you're going to be playing some songs you've never done live. We are releasing three of my very first vinyl releases coming up soon: Wind of Change , my first solo record, Frampton's Camel , the second one, and then the fourth one, Frampton . So what I thought we would do ... Rob Arthur, my keyboard player [and] band leader, and I got together, we listed everything. And we chose some things from Frampton's Camel , Frampton , Live in Detroit ... and one from the I'm in You record, not "I'm in You," and another one from Frampton Comes Alive! So, it's all a hodgepodge of different stuff ... and I know there's a couple here that a few really die-hard fans [who] are maybe gonna have a heart attack because they've been asking me to do these numbers for, like, 30 years. [ Laughs ]
Watch Peter Frampton Perform 'Do You Feel Like We Do?' in 2022
Do you have any road essentials? Well, my long lost, beloved, came-back-to-me guitar, the Phenix is obviously [there]. People say, "Oh, you must leave that at home now, right? You don't take it [out]." I said, "It's been in an air crash for Christ's sake, what else could happen to it?" So that's a staple. Everything that I bring is kind of like all my favorites, all the guitars that I bring. I think for the hotel room, I always bring my own cutlery, my own coffee mug that keeps it warm ... and my tea bag. [ Laughs ] I'm still very British at heart, I've got to have the right — I don't want the Lipton's, so I have my Stash tea ... stuff like that that give you the comforts of home in every hotel room.
You're not up there trying to recreate Frampton Comes Alive! note for note. The essence of the songs is still there, but they're reimagined. Is that something you've consciously worked at or does it just happen naturally onstage? It's natural because, if you think about it, [ Frampton Comes Alive! ] was basically one night. There were a couple other shows, but basically one night, and that night we played it that way. And the night before, and the night after, we didn't play it that way. It was completely different. So everybody knows that as the ultimate. ... I've never played the same solo twice. Some people might be upset about that, that I don't play it exactly like the record, but I've played it like that already. ... We have fun, we create every night. It's a creative environment onstage.
Frampton Comes Alive! is still one of the bestselling live albums of all time. Why do you think that is? It's very surprising and gratifying at the same time. I don't know what it is apart from the fact that wherever you put the needle down on that vinyl, or choose a track on a CD, whatever — it makes you smile. It's got a vibe about it, with the audience and the excitement. I think that my performances ... people know that that's where I'm at my happiest. ... I hear these stories: "My 7-year-old wants me to put on 'Go to the Sun.'" Now why is that? And this is now! So I don't know, except for the fact we captured something that is universally pleasing.
What's next after this? I've been working on writing for a few years now on the first album that I will have pretty much written everything myself. ... There is one or two co-writes, it's kind of special. And I'm not as prolific — I mean, it took six years to write the material for Comes Alive! if you think about it. ... So I'm about in year three. [ Laughs ] And there's no rush!

Peter Frampton to perform European farewell tour shows seated following health concerns
The English guitar icon admits health issues now make it “dangerous” for him to play guitar standing – but the much-anticipated shows will go on, and he promises they'll be emotional
![peter frampton tour 2022 europe Peter Frampton](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/kmS4CKPrM4qEdyPshYXt9R-320-80.jpg)
Peter Frampton has admitted that health issues will force him to perform his farewell tour seated. Frampton, who has the degenerative condition inclusion body myositis (IBM), says it would be “dangerous” for him to stand and play an electric guitar .
Speaking to Classic Rock , Frampton acknowledged that his condition had worsened recently, leaving him at risk of a fall if he were to stand playing guitar for any length of time.
“Well… my legs are not good, and I’ve decided I am going to sit down on these upcoming tour dates in Europe,” said Frampton. “I can’t stand. That would be dangerous for me now, because I get so carried away when I’m playing that I’m liable to fall over [laughs].”
Frampton was never one for holding back onstage. But now he has to think about how to best manage his condition and finish these dates, which were interrupted by the pandemic. Following a fall onstage, Frampton was diagnosed with IBM in 2017, and made the diagnosis public when he announced his farewell tour in 2019.
The former Humble Pie and the Herd guitarist recently performed a set seated for the first time at a gig celebrating Buddy Holly’s 85th birthday, playing with Steve Cropper, Albert Lee, Duane Eddy and others. When asked about his IBM – a disease that often affects the wrists and fingers first – Frampton said that he could still play.
“It’s starting to affect my hands, but not enough yet, so I can still play a good lick,” he said. “But I’ll be honest, I’m anxious about it. I haven’t played over there in so long, and I have progressed in my disease.”
Stood or seated, Frampton promises us those final shows will be emotional when his European tour kicks off on 5 November at Stoke-On-Trent’s Victoria Hall.

It’s very emotional for me saying goodbye to anybody, let alone ten thousand people a night Peter Frampton
“The American-Canadian portion was the most moving tour I’ve ever done,” he said. “It’s very emotional for me saying goodbye to anybody, let alone ten thousand people a night.
“I’m a live performer above all, so that’s the most moving thing for me. I don’t know what to expect in the UK and the EU, but I’m hoping it’s going to be along the same lines, because we had a blast.”
Frampton will also be appearing with Cory Wong , Nili Brosh, Steve Lukather and more at Joe Satriani’s G4 V6.0 Experience on 3-7 January 2023. It will be interesting to see if footage from any of these shows will make it onto a documentary film that the English guitar icon revealed is under way.
“Covid messed with us, obviously,” he said. “We stopped, and now we’re waiting for the final funding to be able to continue. There was a rush on music documentaries and it kind of slowed down.”

Peter Frampton To Play Seated For Final Shows
![peter frampton tour 2022 europe peter frampton tour 2022 europe](https://images.pulsewebcontent.com/photos/2021/02_Feb/800/PeterFramptonGIBSON335Getty800_2_21.jpg)
Peter Frampton revealed in a new interview with Classic Rock magazine that he'll be performing sitting down on his upcoming final shows in Europe. Back in October 2019 Frampton wrapped an exhaustive North American trek after being forced to slowly quit the road upon discovering he's suffering from a degenerative muscle disease called Inclusion-Body Myositus (IBM), that slowly weakens the body's muscles.
Frampton was set to play his final shows across Europe with a full scale tour during the spring of 2020 — until the pandemic sidelined his plans. As it stands now, eight shows are now on the books, with the Grammy-winning guitarist hitting England, Scotland, Belgium, Germany, France, and The Netherlands.
Frampton explained where he's at health-wise these days: “Well. . . my legs are not good, and I've decided I am going to sit down on these upcoming tour dates in Europe. I can't stand. That would be dangerous for me now, because I get so carried away when I'm playing that I'm liable to fall over ( laughs ). It's starting to affect my hands, but not enough yet, so I can still play a good lick. But I'll be honest, I'm so anxious about it. I haven't played over there in so long, and I have progressed in my disease. . . I sat down for the first time (at Buddy Holly 's 85th Birthday Celebration) and. . . it felt very comfortable ( laughs ).”
When pressed about any specific regrets he's had over his decades in the business, Frampton admitted, “Only two things: I would've waited to make an album after Comes Alive! , and never put out I'm In You . Breaking All The Rules would've been a much better follow-up record. And I wouldn't have done the Sgt. Pepper movie.”
Although Peter Frampton was able to stay an arena attraction throughout the end of the '70s, he feels that his career never recovered from the multi-platinum success of the live album. He said that his career nose-dived after Frampton Comes Alive! because there was no place left to go beyond its phenomenon: “No one knew how to make a record after that, because no one had ever made a record that huge. So that's where I was looking for professional help from those people that represented me. But the only person that really knew the answer to any question that I would ask — was me. Because, here I am asking all these people what I should do, because hell, this is the biggest record in history.”

Back in 2019, Frampton announced his retirement from touring after revealing that he had been diagnosed with a degenerative muscle disease called Inclusion-Body Myositis, which will eventually hamper his ability to play the guitar.
The guitarist told Rolling Stone at the time: “We decided to do a farewell tour now since I don’t want to go out and not be able to play well. If I’m going to do a farewell tour, I want to play good. I want to rock it.”
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, though, Frampton was forced to cancel the 2020 concerts of his finale tour of Europe and the UK — until now .

His first win came 30 years later for his 2006 album, Fingerprints , which won Best Pop Instrumental Album.

Catching Up With Neal Francis: How Peter Frampton, A Spiritual Journey & Chicago Pride Led To A Timeless Live Album & Film
For Neal Francis, a hometown show was the ultimate stage to capture his energetic performance via live album and concert film. The cheekily titled 'Francis Comes Alive' was recorded at Chicago's Thalia Hall.
A hometown gig is often something special for a performer — local friends and family bring a particular energy to the audience; the feel of a familiar room can enliven the show. Undoubtedly, there's a joy in performing for people who live in the same milieu that inspired your music.
For singer, songwriter and pianist Neal Francis , a hometown show was the ultimate stage to capture his energetic performance via live album and concert film. Recorded live to tape at Chicago's Thaila Hall with an expanded 11-piece band, Francis Comes Alive could've been cut in 1973 or 2023 — as if the Band, the Meters, Wings and Dr. John had become unstuck in time.
Fittingly, Francis and co. rollick through 12 originals on vintage analog equipment under moody lighting. Most of the band don custom jumpsuits; shaggy-haired Francis is centerstage wailing on the keys, his paisley-printed one-piece open to the navel. Through an occasionally hazy filter, the camera pans over the sold-out audience and the sound engineer, who is grooving backstage.
Compared to the incredible and bombastic stage shows documented in Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé and Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour , Francis Comes Alive is stripped down. But it's clear Francis and his all-Chicago band are having a great time. Touring with such a large, local ensemble "felt like a high school band field trip," Francis tells GRAMMY.com. "We ham it up there…everybody's just so together and it feels like one unit."
Neal Francis will close 2023 — which saw him play 113 dates across the country — with a New Year's Eve show in Denver, Colorado. GRAMMY.com caught up with Francis to discuss Francis Comes Alive , his spiritual journey back to music, and receiving a blessing from the OG rocker to Come Alive .
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
You've been touring heavily in the past few years, which would certainly hone your live show. Was that part of the thinking behind putting out a live album?
Definitely. We had talked about doing a live record and it just made sense: We've played hundreds of shows together, let's document it. But then of course adding an extra seven people to the equation, that was more of a separate vision.
What about your live performance did you think would translate well to a live album/film?
We've persisted in presenting this kind of old school rock show that may not be as common anymore, which I think resonates with people. I think people don't expect it because my recorded music is a lot more laid back and chill than what they encounter live. We just pour all of our energy into it.
I tried to make the presentation of the live album and the live film— as much as I could within the constraints of our budget— look special and ethereal. It all came from my initial brainchild, but I definitely would not have come close to pulling it off were it not for having that team around me: Al Basse is the director, [and] my stylist Rachel Epperson made all the jumpsuits from scratch for the entire band – including the one I was wearing.
There's one guy in a white suit that has all this fringe under his arms…
That's our guitarist. It was funny because that was what I envisioned myself wearing initially. What always happens with Rachel is I'll come in with some idea and then she'll just really go out in left field with it and end up creating something that's way more cool than anything I could ever think of.
Rachel makes a lot of what we wear on stage on any given night. She's been with us since early on.
There have been quite a few concert films out this year, including massive ones from Taylor Swift and Beyoncé . While yours is markedly different, did you think about any of those big tours as you were putting this concept together?
I don't want to say I have my head under a rock, but in some ways I do because I didn't have any idea that those were coming out! I don't have social media at all; I have a presence there thanks to my management team. I'm generally looking towards stuff I like from the past for inspiration, and [to] my spiritual journey. I read a lot.
My range of influence is a little bit different than whatever's happening currently. And I'd love to see T Swift's movie. My dad actually went and saw it, and I didn't ask how he liked it, but I should. [ Laughs .]
As far as other concert films, there's two that really come off the top of my head: The Last Waltz and Stop Making Sense . I feel like a cue was taken from The Last Waltz in hiring a horn section, perhaps.
I had this pretty strong visual experience doing some breathwork in January of 2023 that gave birth to the whole visual concept, and that gave me enough vocabulary and manic energy to start collaborating with Al and Rachel. And it just took shape from there.
I wanted custom set pieces like you would see on a 1960s variety show, but ideas like that had to be pared down. We ended up dressing up the risers, et cetera instead. The people I have working with me are just ingenious, so I think it came off really well.
Beyond the pandemic, the past five years or so have been quite a whirlwind for you. You broke up with a partner, you started a music ministry job in 2018, made your debut album Changes in 2019 and then put out In Plain Sight — which was recorded in that church, where you were also living, in 2021. How does your creative journey reflect those experiences?
I got sober in October of 2015 and I didn't really start investing back into my music career until I was a couple years sober.
The common thread for me has been as I develop a spiritual way of life — not to say a religious way of life, but just as I devote more time to things like meditation and increased mindfulness and awareness — it seems to translate to these gifts in my career that I didn't have at all before getting sober. The more I contribute to that side of things, the more everything else blossoms.
Have you seen yourself evolve as a performer as well?
Unquestionably. I'll just say inwardly, Wow, I'm able to sing so much better now . When that recording was made at Thalia Hall, unfortunately, I was still smoking. And that was something that I was actually in the midst of a relapse, smoking cigarettes. And I can really hear it, when I listen back.
One of the things that has been getting more consistent is my commitment to my vocal process, warming up and the sort of exercises I do. Also just the way in which I sing — learning how to sing at all because I just wasn't a singer before starting this project. Changes is really my first recorded attempt at singing lead vocals on anything.
What was your favorite song to play during this live session?
I still really enjoy playing "Changes" because we have this arrangement that's been kicked around live for a while, and the audience always really responds to it. "Sentimental Garbage" is another one that's really fun to play because we've added this sort of spacey droning synth section that is really fun and funny.
We ham it up there and it's really fun to play with this band because everybody's just so together and it feels like one unit.
I've always appreciated that your music sounds a bit out of time. I'd love to hear a little bit about the sonic fabric of Neal Francis.
When I was making Changes , I was kind of like, how close can I get to this? Specifically Allen Toussaint and Leon Russell and J.J. Cale and Curtis Mayfield— these are some of my heroes; what is in their playbook for these situations? That's sort of how I arrive at new things, just really trying to go for a certain aesthetic and then inevitably ending up somewhere different.
I've got a huge range of influences that I tried to open up more to on my second record. And now the record I'm working on currently, it's just another snapshot. I think the unifying element is probably the process; we do a lot of stuff analog, recording live as a band, and I think that's perhaps increasingly rare, and it yields a certain sound that's difficult to replicate.
I don't know if this is a musical hero of yours, but I read that you received a congratulatory text from Peter Frampton .
I guess he was tipped off by my friend Tom Cusimano. And the music industry is tiny in that regard. Tom sent Peter this Chicago Sun Times article about the Francis Comes Alive shows, and he sent his blessing. He was like, "Congratulations in advance, here's hoping it goes smoothly for you." It was so funny to get that the day we were recording. A real nice nod from him.
I have to ask you about this because it happened to me: the Neal Francis/ Neil Frances confusion. How do you feel about getting mistaken for that pop/dance duo?
It's definitely been a process. It's my actual name and not having any control over it, especially early on, it was really a challenge to let it roll off and accept it. Now we're actually acquainted with those guys and I'm going out to record something with them in early January.
We run into them: We had consecutive sets at Outside Lands and then they were on the same flight to L.A. recently from San Fran. It's very congenial and they're really in a different space musically. So there's not really a threat; if anything, I think, it's a boon to our individual success because people will mistakenly end up at the other person's shows, but end up enjoying it because it's a quality experience. So hopefully our collaboration will yield something interesting.
Beyond that collab, you mentioned that you're working on a new album. What else is on your plate?
That's the main thing on my horizon is getting rest and then making the album. Hopefully, having that wrapped the first couple of months of the year. Then I'm not really touring very much until that record gets released. We'll be doing more of those one-offs and festivals over the summer, starting with Jazz Fest in May, and then coming back with a proper album release tour.
[I'm also] building my own recording rig here at home so that we can record more and release more. It's two years since our last studio effort, and [I want to be] less precious about it but still having quality releases, but just maybe them being more frequent. That's just another muscle that I'm really excited to be working— just recording stuff on my own.

GRAMMY Rewind: Kendrick Lamar Honors Hip-Hop's Greats While Accepting Best Rap Album GRAMMY For 'To Pimp a Butterfly' In 2016
Upon winning the GRAMMY for Best Rap Album for 'To Pimp a Butterfly,' Kendrick Lamar thanked those that helped him get to the stage, and the artists that blazed the trail for him.
Updated Friday Oct. 13, 2023 to include info about Kendrick Lamar's most recent GRAMMY wins, as of the 2023 GRAMMYs.
A GRAMMY veteran these days, Kendrick Lamar has won 17 GRAMMYs and has received 47 GRAMMY nominations overall. A sizable chunk of his trophies came from the 58th annual GRAMMY Awards in 2016, when he walked away with five — including his first-ever win in the Best Rap Album category.
This installment of GRAMMY Rewind turns back the clock to 2016, revisiting Lamar's acceptance speech upon winning Best Rap Album for To Pimp A Butterfly . Though Lamar was alone on stage, he made it clear that he wouldn't be at the top of his game without the help of a broad support system.
"First off, all glory to God, that's for sure," he said, kicking off a speech that went on to thank his parents, who he described as his "those who gave me the responsibility of knowing, of accepting the good with the bad."

He also extended his love and gratitude to his fiancée, Whitney Alford, and shouted out his Top Dawg Entertainment labelmates. Lamar specifically praised Top Dawg's CEO, Anthony Tiffith, for finding and developing raw talent that might not otherwise get the chance to pursue their musical dreams.
"We'd never forget that: Taking these kids out of the projects, out of Compton, and putting them right here on this stage, to be the best that they can be," Lamar — a Compton native himself — continued, leading into an impassioned conclusion spotlighting some of the cornerstone rap albums that came before To Pimp a Butterfly .
"Hip-hop. Ice Cube . This is for hip-hop," he said. "This is for Snoop Dogg , Doggystyle . This is for Illmatic , this is for Nas . We will live forever. Believe that."
To Pimp a Butterfly singles "Alright" and "These Walls" earned Lamar three more GRAMMYs that night, the former winning Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song and the latter taking Best Rap/Sung Collaboration (the song features Bilal , Anna Wise and Thundercat ). He also won Best Music Video for the remix of Taylor Swift 's "Bad Blood."
Lamar has since won Best Rap Album two more times, taking home the golden gramophone in 2018 for his blockbuster LP DAMN ., and in 2023 for his bold fifth album, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers .

A Guide To Modern Funk For The Dance Floor: L'Imperatrice, Shiro Schwarz, Franc Moody, Say She She & Moniquea
James Brown changed the sound of popular music when he found the power of the one and unleashed the funk with "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag." Today, funk lives on in many forms, including these exciting bands from across the world.
It's rare that a genre can be traced back to a single artist or group, but for funk, that was James Brown . The Godfather of Soul coined the phrase and style of playing known as "on the one," where the first downbeat is emphasized, instead of the typical second and fourth beats in pop, soul and other styles. As David Cheal eloquently explains, playing on the one "left space for phrases and riffs, often syncopated around the beat, creating an intricate, interlocking grid which could go on and on." You know a funky bassline when you hear it; its fat chords beg your body to get up and groove.
Brown's 1965 classic, "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," became one of the first funk hits, and has been endlessly sampled and covered over the years, along with his other groovy tracks. Of course, many other funk acts followed in the '60s, and the genre thrived in the '70s and '80s as the disco craze came and went, and the originators of hip-hop and house music created new music from funk and disco's strong, flexible bones built for dancing.
Legendary funk bassist Bootsy Collins learned the power of the one from playing in Brown's band, and brought it to George Clinton , who created P-funk, an expansive, Afrofuturistic , psychedelic exploration of funk with his various bands and projects, including Parliament-Funkadelic . Both Collins and Clinton remain active and funkin', and have offered their timeless grooves to collabs with younger artists, including Kali Uchis , Silk Sonic , and Omar Apollo; and Kendrick Lamar , Flying Lotus , and Thundercat , respectively.
In the 1980s, electro-funk was born when artists like Afrika Bambaataa, Man Parrish, and Egyptian Lover began making futuristic beats with the Roland TR-808 drum machine — often with robotic vocals distorted through a talk box. A key distinguishing factor of electro-funk is a de-emphasis on vocals, with more phrases than choruses and verses. The sound influenced contemporaneous hip-hop, funk and electronica, along with acts around the globe, while current acts like Chromeo, DJ Stingray, and even Egyptian Lover himself keep electro-funk alive and well.
Today, funk lives in many places, with its heavy bass and syncopated grooves finding way into many nooks and crannies of music. There's nu-disco and boogie funk, nodding back to disco bands with soaring vocals and dance floor-designed instrumentation. G-funk continues to influence Los Angeles hip-hop, with innovative artists like Dam-Funk and Channel Tres bringing the funk and G-funk, into electro territory. Funk and disco-centered '70s revival is definitely having a moment, with acts like Ghost Funk Orchestra and Parcels , while its sparkly sprinklings can be heard in pop from Dua Lipa , Doja Cat , and, in full "Soul Train" character, Silk Sonic . There are also acts making dreamy, atmospheric music with a solid dose of funk, such as Khruangbin ’s global sonic collage.
There are many bands that play heavily with funk, creating lush grooves designed to get you moving. Read on for a taste of five current modern funk and nu-disco artists making band-led uptempo funk built for the dance floor. Be sure to press play on the Spotify playlist above, and check out GRAMMY.com's playlist on Apple Music , Amazon Music and Pandora .
Say She She
Aptly self-described as "discodelic soul," Brooklyn-based seven-piece Say She She make dreamy, operatic funk, led by singer-songwriters Nya Gazelle Brown, Piya Malik and Sabrina Mileo Cunningham. Their '70s girl group-inspired vocal harmonies echo, sooth and enchant as they cover poignant topics with feminist flair.
While they’ve been active in the New York scene for a few years, they’ve gained wider acclaim for the irresistible music they began releasing this year, including their debut album, Prism . Their 2022 debut single "Forget Me Not" is an ode to ground-breaking New York art collective Guerilla Girls, and " Norma " is their protest anthem in response to the news that Roe vs. Wade could be (and was) overturned. The band name is a nod to funk legend Nile Rodgers , from the "Le freak, c'est chi" exclamation in Chic's legendary tune "Le Freak."
Moniquea 's unique voice oozes confidence, yet invites you in to dance with her to the super funky boogie rhythms. The Pasadena, California artist was raised on funk music; her mom was in a cover band that would play classics like Aretha Franklin’ s "Get It Right" and Gladys Knight ’s "Love Overboard." Moniquea released her first boogie funk track at 20 and, in 2011, met local producer XL Middelton — a bonafide purveyor of funk. She's been a star artist on his MoFunk Records ever since, and they've collabed on countless tracks, channeling West Coast energy with a heavy dose of G-funk, sunny lyrics and upbeat, roller disco-ready rhythms.
Her latest release is an upbeat nod to classic West Coast funk, produced by Middleton, and follows her February 2022 groovy, collab-filled album, On Repeat .
Shiro Schwarz
Shiro Schwarz is a Mexico City-based duo, consisting of Pammela Rojas and Rafael Marfil, who helped establish a modern funk scene in the richly creative Mexican metropolis. On "Electrify" — originally released in 2016 on Fat Beats Records and reissued in 2021 by MoFunk — Shiro Schwarz's vocals playfully contrast each other, floating over an insistent, upbeat bassline and an '80s throwback electro-funk rhythm with synth flourishes.
Their music manages to be both nostalgic and futuristic — and impossible to sit still to. 2021 single "Be Kind" is sweet, mellow and groovy, perfect chic lounge funk. Shiro Schwarz’s latest track, the joyfully nostalgic "Hey DJ," is a collab with funkstress Saucy Lady and U-Key.
L'Impératrice
L'Impératrice (the empress in French) are a six-piece Parisian group serving an infectiously joyful blend of French pop, nu-disco, funk and psychedelia. Flore Benguigui's vocals are light and dreamy, yet commanding of your attention, while lyrics have a feminist touch.
During their energetic live sets, L'Impératrice members Charles de Boisseguin and Hagni Gwon (keys), David Gaugué (bass), Achille Trocellier (guitar), and Tom Daveau (drums) deliver extended instrumental jam sessions to expand and connect their music. Gaugué emphasizes the thick funky bass, and Benguigui jumps around the stage while sounding like an angel. L’Impératrice’s latest album, 2021’s Tako Tsubo , is a sunny, playful French disco journey.
Franc Moody
Franc Moody 's bio fittingly describes their music as "a soul funk and cosmic disco sound." The London outfit was birthed by friends Ned Franc and Jon Moody in the early 2010s, when they were living together and throwing parties in North London's warehouse scene. In 2017, the group grew to six members, including singer and multi-instrumentalist Amber-Simone.
Their music feels at home with other electro-pop bands like fellow Londoners Jungle and Aussie act Parcels. While much of it is upbeat and euphoric, Franc Moody also dips into the more chilled, dreamy realm, such as the vibey, sultry title track from their recently released Into the Ether .

Living Legends: Billy Idol On Survival, Revival & Breaking Out Of The Cage
"One foot in the past and one foot into the future," Billy Idol says, describing his decade-spanning career in rock. "We’ve got the best of all possible worlds because that has been the modus operandi of Billy Idol."
Living Legends is a series that spotlights icons in music still going strong today. This week, GRAMMY.com spoke with Billy Idol about his latest EP, Cage , and continuing to rock through decades of changing tastes.
Billy Idol is a true rock 'n' roll survivor who has persevered through cultural shifts and personal struggles. While some may think of Idol solely for "Rebel Yell" and "White Wedding," the singer's musical influences span genres and many of his tunes are less turbo-charged than his '80s hits would belie.
Idol first made a splash in the latter half of the '70s with the British punk band Generation X. In the '80s, he went on to a solo career combining rock, pop, and punk into a distinct sound that transformed him and his musical partner, guitarist Steve Stevens, into icons. They have racked up multiple GRAMMY nominations, in addition to one gold, one double platinum, and four platinum albums thanks to hits like "Cradle Of Love," "Flesh For Fantasy," and "Eyes Without A Face."
But, unlike many legacy artists, Idol is anything but a relic. Billy continues to produce vital Idol music by collaborating with producers and songwriters — including Miley Cyrus — who share his forward-thinking vision. He will play a five-show Vegas residency in November, and filmmaker Jonas Akerlund is working on a documentary about Idol’s life.
His latest release is Cage , the second in a trilogy of annual four-song EPs. The title track is a classic Billy Idol banger expressing the desire to free himself from personal constraints and live a better life. Other tracks on Cage incorporate metallic riffing and funky R&B grooves.
Idol continues to reckon with his demons — they both grappled with addiction during the '80s — and the singer is open about those struggles on the record and the page. (Idol's 2014 memoir Dancing With Myself , details a 1990 motorcycle accident that nearly claimed a leg, and how becoming a father steered him to reject hard drugs. "Bitter Taste," from his last EP, The Roadside , reflects on surviving the accident.)
Although Idol and Stevens split in the late '80s — the skilled guitarist fronted Steve Stevens & The Atomic Playboys, and collaborated with Michael Jackson, Rick Ocasek, Vince Neil, and Harold Faltermeyer (on the GRAMMY-winning "Top Gun Anthem") — their common history and shared musical bond has been undeniable. The duo reunited in 2001 for an episode of " VH1 Storytellers " and have been back in the saddle for two decades. Their union remains one of the strongest collaborations in rock 'n roll history.
While there is recognizable personnel and a distinguishable sound throughout a lot of his work, Billy Idol has always pushed himself to try different things. Idol discusses his musical journey, his desire to constantly move forward, and the strong connection that he shares with Stevens.
Steve has said that you like to mix up a variety of styles, yet everyone assumes you're the "Rebel Yell"/"White Wedding" guy. But if they really listen to your catalog, it's vastly different.
Yeah, that's right. With someone like Steve Stevens, and then back in the day Keith Forsey producing... [Before that] Generation X actually did move around inside punk rock. We didn't stay doing just the Ramones two-minute music. We actually did a seven-minute song. [ Laughs ]. We did always mix things up.
Then when I got into my solo career, that was the fun of it. With someone like Steve, I knew what he could do. I could see whatever we needed to do, we could nail it. The world was my oyster musically.
"Cage" is a classic-sounding Billy Idol rocker, then "Running From The Ghost" is almost metal, like what the Devil's Playground album was like back in the mid-2000s. "Miss Nobody" comes out of nowhere with this pop/R&B flavor. What inspired that?
We really hadn't done anything like that since something like "Flesh For Fantasy" [which] had a bit of an R&B thing about it. Back in the early days of Billy Idol, "Hot In The City" and "Mony Mony" had girls [singing] on the backgrounds.
We always had a bit of R&B really, so it was actually fun to revisit that. We just hadn't done anything really quite like that for a long time. That was one of the reasons to work with someone like Sam Hollander [for the song "Rita Hayworth"] on The Roadside . We knew we could go [with him] into an R&B world, and he's a great songwriter and producer. That's the fun of music really, trying out these things and seeing if you can make them stick.
I listen to new music by veteran artists and debate that with some people. I'm sure you have those fans that want their nostalgia, and then there are some people who will embrace the newer stuff. Do you find it’s a challenge to reach people with new songs?
Obviously, what we're looking for is, how do we somehow have one foot in the past and one foot into the future? We’ve got the best of all possible worlds because that has been the modus operandi of Billy Idol.
You want to do things that are true to you, and you don't just want to try and do things that you're seeing there in the charts today. I think that we're achieving it with things like "Running From The Ghost" and "Cage" on this new EP. I think we’re managing to do both in a way.
** Obviously, "Running From The Ghost" is about addiction, all the stuff that you went through, and in "Cage" you’re talking about freeing yourself from a lot of personal shackles. Was there any one moment in your life that made you really thought I have to not let this weigh me down anymore ? **
I mean, things like the motorcycle accident I had, that was a bit of a wake up call way back. It was 32 years ago. But there were things like that, years ago, that gradually made me think about what I was doing with my life. I didn't want to ruin it, really. I didn't want to throw it away, and it made [me] be less cavalier.
I had to say to myself, about the drugs and stuff, that I've been there and I've done it. There’s no point in carrying on doing it. You couldn't get any higher. You didn't want to throw your life away casually, and I was close to doing that. It took me a bit of time, but then gradually I was able to get control of myself to a certain extent [with] drugs and everything. And I think Steve's done the same thing. We're on a similar path really, which has been great because we're in the same boat in terms of lyrics and stuff.
So a lot of things like that were wake up calls. Even having grandchildren and just watching my daughter enlarging her family and everything; it just makes you really positive about things and want to show a positive side to how you're feeling, about where you're going. We've lived with the demons so long, we've found a way to live with them. We found a way to be at peace with our demons, in a way. Maybe not completely, but certainly to where we’re enjoying what we do and excited about it.
[When writing] "Running From The Ghost" it was easy to go, what was the ghost for us? At one point, we were very drug addicted in the '80s. And Steve in particular is super sober [now]. I mean, I still vape pot and stuff. I don’t know how he’s doing it, but it’s incredible. All I want to be able to do is have a couple of glasses of wine at a restaurant or something. I can do that now.
I think working with people that are super talented, you just feel confident. That is a big reason why you open up and express yourself more because you feel comfortable with what's around you.
Did you watch Danny Boyle's recent Sex Pistols mini-series?
I did, yes.
You had a couple of cameos; well, an actor who portrayed you did. How did you react to it? How accurate do you think it was in portraying that particular time period?
I love Jonesy’s book, I thought his book was incredible. It's probably one of the best bio books really. It was incredible and so open. I was looking forward to that a lot.
It was as if [the show] kind of stayed with Steve [Jones’ memoir] about halfway through, and then departed from it. [John] Lydon, for instance, was never someone I ever saw acting out; he's more like that today. I never saw him do something like jump up in the room and run around going crazy. The only time I saw him ever do that was when they signed the recording deal with Virgin in front of Buckingham Palace. Whereas Sid Vicious was always acting out; he was always doing something in a horrible way or shouting at someone. I don't remember John being like that. I remember him being much more introverted.
But then I watched interviews with some of the actors about coming to grips with the parts they were playing. And they were saying, we knew punk rock happened but just didn't know any of the details. So I thought well, there you go . If ["Pistol" is] informing a lot of people who wouldn't know anything about punk rock, maybe that's what's good about it.
Maybe down the road John Lydon will get the chance to do John's version of the Pistols story. Maybe someone will go a lot deeper into it and it won't be so surface. But maybe you needed this just to get people back in the flow.
We had punk and metal over here in the States, but it feels like England it was legitimately more dangerous. British society was much more rigid.
It never went [as] mega in America. It went big in England. It exploded when the Pistols did that interview with [TV host Bill] Grundy, that lorry truck driver put his boot through his own TV, and all the national papers had "the filth and the fury" [headlines].
We went from being unknown to being known overnight. We waited a year, Generation X. We even told them [record labels] no for nine months to a year. Every record company wanted their own punk rock group. So it went really mega in England, and it affected the whole country – the style, the fashions, everything. I mean, the Ramones were massive in England. Devo had a No. 1 song [in England] with "Satisfaction" in '77. Actually, Devo was as big as or bigger than the Pistols.
You were ahead of the pop-punk thing that happened in the late '90s, and a lot of it became tongue-in-cheek by then. It didn't have the same sense of rebelliousness as the original movement. It was more pop.
It had become a style. There was a famous book in England called Revolt Into Style — and that's what had happened, a revolt that turned into style which then they were able to duplicate in their own way. Even recently, Billie Joe [Armstrong] did his own version of "Gimme Some Truth," the Lennon song we covered way back in 1977.
When we initially were making [punk] music, it hadn't become accepted yet. It was still dangerous and turned into a style that people were used to. We were still breaking barriers.
You have a band called Generation Sex with Steve Jones and Paul Cook. I assume you all have an easier time playing Pistols and Gen X songs together now and not worrying about getting spit on like back in the '70s?
Yeah, definitely. When I got to America I told the group I was putting it together, "No one spits at the audience."
We had five years of being spat on [in the UK], and it was revolting. And they spat at you if they liked you. If they didn't like it they smashed your gear up. One night, I remember I saw blood on my T-shirt, and I think Joe Strummer got meningitis when spit went in his mouth.
You had to go through a lot to become successful, it wasn't like you just kind of got up there and did a couple of gigs. I don't think some young rock bands really get that today.
With punk going so mega in England, we definitely got a leg up. We still had a lot of work to get where we got to, and rightly so because you find out that you need to do that. A lot of groups in the old days would be together three to five years before they ever made a record, and that time is really important. In a way, what was great about punk rock for me was it was very much a learning period. I really learned a lot [about] recording music and being in a group and even writing songs.
Then when I came to America, it was a flow, really. I also really started to know what I wanted Billy Idol to be. It took me a little bit, but I kind of knew what I wanted Billy Idol to be. And even that took a while to let it marinate.
You and Miley Cyrus have developed a good working relationship in the last several years. How do you think her fans have responded to you, and your fans have responded to her?
I think they're into it. It's more the record company that she had didn't really get "Night Crawling"— it was one of the best songs on Plastic Hearts , and I don't think they understood that. They wanted to go with Dua Lipa, they wanted to go with the modern, young acts, and I don't think they realized that that song was resonating with her fans. Which is a shame really because, with Andrew Watt producing, it's a hit song.
But at the same time, I enjoyed doing it. It came out really good and it's very Billy Idol. In fact, I think it’s more Billy Idol than Miley Cyrus. I think it shows you where Andrew Watt was. He was excited about doing a Billy Idol track. She's fun to work with. She’s a really great person and she works at her singing — I watched her rehearsing for the Super Bowl performance she gave. She rehearsed all Saturday morning, all Saturday afternoon, and Sunday morning and it was that afternoon. I have to admire her fortitude. She really cares.
I remember when you went on " Viva La Bam " back in 2005 and decided to give Bam Margera’s Lamborghini a new sunroof by taking a power saw to it. Did he own that car? Was that a rental?
I think it was his car.
Did he get over it later on?
He loved it. [ Laughs ] He’s got a wacky sense of humor. He’s fantastic, actually. I’m really sorry to see what he's been going through just lately. He's going through a lot, and I wish him the best. He's a fantastic person, and it's a shame that he's struggling so much with his addictions. I know what it's like. It's not easy.
Musically, what is the synergy like with you guys during the past 10 years, doing Kings and Queens of the Underground and this new stuff? What is your working relationship like now in this more sober, older, mature version of you two as opposed to what it was like back in the '80s?
In lots of ways it’s not so different because we always wrote the songs together, we always talked about what we're going to do together. It was just that we were getting high at the same time.We're just not getting [that way now] but we're doing all the same things.
We're still talking about things, still [planning] things:What are we going to do next? How are we going to find new people to work with? We want to find new producers. Let's be a little bit more timely about putting stuff out.That part of our relationship is the same, you know what I mean? That never got affected. We just happened to be overloading in the '80s.
The relationship’s… matured and it's carrying on being fruitful, and I think that's pretty amazing. Really, most people don't get to this place. Usually, they hate each other by now. [ Laughs ] We also give each other space. We're not stopping each other doing things outside of what we’re working on together. All of that enables us to carry on working together. I love and admire him. I respect him. He's been fantastic. I mean, just standing there on stage with him is always a treat. And he’s got an immensely great sense of humor. I think that's another reason why we can hang together after all this time because we've got the sense of humor to enable us to go forward.
There's a lot of fan reaction videos online, and I noticed a lot of younger women like "Rebel Yell" because, unlike a lot of other '80s alpha male rock tunes, you're talking about satisfying your lover.
It was about my girlfriend at the time, Perri Lister. It was about how great I thought she was, how much I was in love with her, and how great women are, how powerful they are.
It was a bit of a feminist anthem in a weird way. It was all about how relationships can free you and add a lot to your life. It was a cry of love, nothing to do with the Civil War or anything like that. Perri was a big part of my life, a big part of being Billy Idol. I wanted to write about it. I'm glad that's the effect.
Is there something you hope people get out of the songs you've been doing over the last 10 years? Do you find yourself putting out a message that keeps repeating?
Well, I suppose, if anything, is that you can come to terms with your life, you can keep a hold of it. You can work your dreams into reality in a way and, look, a million years later, still be enjoying it.
The only reason I'm singing about getting out of the cage is because I kicked out of the cage years ago. I joined Generation X when I said to my parents, "I'm leaving university, and I'm joining a punk rock group." And they didn't even know what a punk rock group was. Years ago, I’d write things for myself that put me on this path, so that maybe in 2022 I could sing something like "Cage" and be owning this territory and really having a good time. This is the life I wanted.
The original UK punk movement challenged societal norms. Despite all the craziness going on throughout the world, it seems like a lot of modern rock bands are afraid to do what you guys were doing. Do you think we'll see a shift in that?
Yeah. Art usually reacts to things, so I would think eventually there will be a massive reaction to the pop music that’s taken over — the middle of the road music, and then this kind of right wing politics. There will be a massive reaction if there's not already one. I don’t know where it will come from exactly. You never know who's gonna do [it].

- Do You Feel Like I Do - Peter’s Memoir
On April 22, 1950 Peter Kenneth Frampton was born to Owen and Peggy Frampton in Beckenham, Kent, UK
At the age of 10, Peter played in a band called The Little Ravens. He and David Bowie both went to Bromley Technical School and would spend lunch breaks together, playing Buddy Holly songs. The Little Ravens and Bowie's band, George and the Dragons, played shows together. When he was 11 years old, he played in the Trubeats before joining The Preachers, a band that Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman produced and managed.
Peter became a successful child guitarist, and in 1966 he became a member of The Herd, landing three British Top 10 hits. He was also named The Face of 1968 by Rave, a teen magazine.
In 1969, when Peter was 18 years old in 1969, he co-founded one of the first super groups, seminal rock act Humble Pie with Steve Marriott.
Peter met Pete Drake in 1970, on George Harrison’s session for his All Things Must Pass album. Pete introduced Peter to the "talk box" which would become one of Frampton's trademark guitar effects. In 1972, Peter's solo career debut Wind of Change was released, with guest artists Billy Preston and Ringo Starr.
Peter released a whopping 6 albums in this decade: Frampton's Camel was released in 1973 and Somethin's Happening was released in 1974. In 1975, Frampton was released and rose to #32 in the US charts, and was certified Gold by the RIAA. In 1976, Frampton Comes Alive! was released and became a best-selling live album with hit singles "Baby, I Love Your Way," "Show Me the Way," and "Do You Feel Like We Do". In 1977, I'm In You was released and went platinum
In 1978, Peter starred in Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band with The Bee Gees, Aerosmith, Billy Preston, George Burns and others. Later that year, Peter was in a near-fatal car accident in the Bahamas.
Peter received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1979 and that same year, Where I Should Be was released.
Rise Up was released in 1980. The same year, Peter's black Les Paul Custom, "Phenix", was lost in a plane crash. In 1981, Breaking All the Rules was released and was recorded almost completely live. 1982 brought the release of The Art of Control. In 1986, Premonition was released with the hit single, "Lying". Frampton played on David Bowie's album Never Let Me Down in 1987 and joined Bowie on his Glass Spider tour.
In 1994, the Peter Frampton album was released. Frampton Comes Alive! II was recorded on June 15, 1995 at The Fillmore Theater in San Francisco. In 1996, Peter appeared as himself on the hit tv show The Simpsons headlining Homerpalooza.
In 2000, Peter was the technical advisor for Cameron Crowe’s Oscar winning movie, Almost Famous. Peter wrote a lot of the music on the soundtrack and appeared in the film as Humble Pie’s road manager. The album Now was released in 2003 and Frampton embarked on a tour with Styx. In 2006, Peter released the album Fingerprints. And in 2007, the album won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album. Peter was immortalized as himself on The Family Guy in 2009.
Thank You Mr Churchill was released in 2010 and was Peter's 14th studio album. The album included a song written with his son, Julian Frampton. Peter went on a North American tour with the band Yes. 2011 marked the 35th anniversary of Frampton Comes Alive! and Peter embarked on a 69 date tour playing the songs exactly as they were recorded on the album. In 2012, Peter received ASCAP’s Global Impact Award. In 2013, Frampton's Guitar Circus went on tour featuring guest performers B.B. King, Robert Cray, Don Felder, Rick Derringer, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Steve Lukather, Sonny Landreth, Davy Knowles, David Hidalgo, Mike McCready, Roger McGuinn and Vinnie Moore. Frampton was one of several musicians to participate in 2014's The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to The Beatles tribute to the Beatles on the 50th anniversary of their first appearance on American television. Hummingbird in a Box was released in 2014 and Peter performed a few shows live onstage with the Cincinnati Ballet. Acoustic Classics was released in 2015, featuring many of his hits. In 2016, Frampton was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum. Peter toured with the Steve Miller Band in 2017 and 2018 and was given the Les Paul Innovation Award at NAMM in 2018 as well.
On February 22, 2019 Frampton announced his retirement from rigorous touring with his 'Peter Frampton Finale—The Farewell Tour' after disclosing his diagnosis of inclusion body myositis (IBM), a progressive muscle disorder. That same year, Peter was honored at The Music Business Association Awards & Hall Of Fame Dinner with the Chairman’s Award For Sustained Creative Achievement. Also in 2019, All Blues was released and debuted at number one and stayed there for 15 weeks on the Billboard Top Blues Albums Chart.
In 2020 Frampton published his memoir, Do You Feel Like I Do?, co-written with Alan Light that debuted on the New York Times Best Seller List. Also, in 2020, Frampton Comes Alive! was inducted in to the Grammy Hall of Fame. Frampton Forgets the Words album released in 2021.

Peter Frampton details his farewell tour guitar rig
It's a stereo rig, it's massive, and Frampton feels a little embarrassed by its size. Here, he takes us through the guitars and amps behind his farewell tour
![peter frampton tour 2022 europe Peter Frampton](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/RARhyzQLVKynTHJEyq7i39-320-80.jpg)
“It’s three Marshall cabinets, dry/wet situation. It’s a stereo rig, it’s enormous. I feel embarrassed that it’s so big… but you need to have a big rig to be able to do all that, and lots of effects.
“There are about eight or nine guitars that I’ll use in a show, acoustics as well as electrics. Basically, I have an old ’70s Marshall head that’s been modified to drive all the effects and to come out in stereo either side of the one Marshall cabinet, which is dry in the middle. It’s very involved, but it sounds godly.
“I’ve worked on it for years and years until I got to what I really liked. I could just as well come up there with a little 2x12 combo and a couple of floor effects and do the same thing, but why when I’ve got all that beautiful stuff? I want it to be good.”
Is your Les Paul Custom still your main electric guitar ?
“Yes and no. Yes, for the numbers that it recorded with Somethin’s Happening and Lines On My Face , Do You Feel [ Like We Do ], [ I Wanna ] Go To The Sun , numbers like that are on the live record. But on numbers I’ve done since, I have the ’64 ES-335 Gibson, the Freddie King year, which is an incredible guitar.
“If I could only have one guitar other than the Custom, that would be it. A 335 just about covers every aspect of what a guitarist does. It’s not a Fender, but I don’t use Fenders that much – I’m a humbucker guy.”
There has been some talk on the internet recently about the switching system on your Custom. Does it differ from a standard three-pickup Les Paul ?

“It’s very simple. Forget about the middle pickup for a minute. If you think about the bridge and the neck pickup and the selector switch, the selector switch still works exactly the same way with those two. You can have one on, the other on or both on. They are then only wired to the top volume. They’re both wired to one volume and one tone.
“Then the middle pickup is just wired directly to the bottom volume. There is no switch for it, but I can blend it in. It changes it from a Gibson to a fat Strat because you bring that middle pickup in like a Stratocaster . It’s in and out or it’s on its own because I can turn the other two off and just use it, which is another sound. You don’t have time to get bored with it. You can change the sound on a whim.”

Peter Frampton (born April 22, 1950) is an English-American rock singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist, hailing from Bromley, South London, UK.
After developing an interest in music at an early age, Frampton started taking classical music lessons aged just eight. With early influences including Cliff Richard, Buddy Holly and Jimi Hendrix, the singer-songwriter played in a number of bands in his teens including The Little Ravens, The Trubeats and The Preachers – the latter of which was produced and managed by Bill Wyman of The Rolling Stones. After subsequent bands The Herd, The Small Faces and Humble Pie, Frampton went solo in 1971 and released his debut “Winds of Change” in 1972.
Frampton subsequently released the albums “Frampton’s Camel” in 1973 and “Somethin’s Happening” in 1974, during which period the musician developed a devoted following aided by his elaborate and extensive tours. The singer’s breakthrough came with the 1976 live album release “Frampton Comes Alive!”, which showcased a whole catalogue of Frampton’s under-exposed songs, catapulting the energetic singer to superstardom. The double LP shot to the top of the charts and sold over 16 million copies worldwide, becoming the most popular live album ever to be released at that time. Spawning the hits “Baby, I Love Your Way”, “Do You Feel Like We Do” and “Show Me The Way”, the album also led to a multi-million dollar blockbuster tour, up there with the likes of Kiss and Cheap Trick.
Under pressure from his label A&M, Frampton released the rushed album “I’m in You” in 1977. The album performed well in the charts reaching No. 2 and the title track resulted in Frampton’s biggest hit of his career. After his high-profile acting debut in the flop of a film “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”, a serious car accident in the Bahamas, the breakdown of his marriage and a slide into drug abuse, Frampton subsequent album “Where I Should Be” (1979) failed to maintain his previous successes.
“Breaking All the Rules” was released in 1981 and marked a haircut for the singer-songwriter, followed the year after with “The Art of Control”. After a period of lying low, Frampton returned with the 1986 album “Premonition” and an appearance on his school friend David Bowie’s album “Never Let Me Down”. Frampton subsequently released “When All the Pieces Fit” in 1989, a self-titled album in 1994, “Frampton Comes Alive II” in 1995, “Now” in 2004, “Fingerprints” in 2006, and his 14th studio album “Thank You Mr. Churchill” in 2010.
Live-Bewertungen
First of all--I have been a fan of Peter Frampton since probably 1974, not so much his own earlier 'solo'/Camel albums, though I truly enjoyed his stint in Humble Pie. I have seen him live in concert before but it's been 16 years since the last time, though I have many albums over the years and have several he's done in recent years and also enjoy them all. I think Frampton is a major talent and his show and playing and song choice and guest artists and band were all terrific, given the limited time permitted for each--including Buddy Guy, David Hidalgo, Robert Randolph, & Randy Bachman--to play with him, possibly without even any, or much, rehearsal. The guy IS great, played the legendary black triple-pickup Les Paul that turned up missing, presumably lost in a plane crash en route to Venezuela in 1980, which he recovered only a year or two ago, although he only played it on 2 or 3 songs. BUT...one of those few songs is, and was, my 'favorite' BY him--" Lines On My Face", which was also on his 'Frampton Comes Alive' album in 1976. What more Could I desire?? a longer show, more songs, more time with the artists present,especially Robert Randolph & Buddy Guy. Nonetheless, it WAS a great show

Peter Frampton is an iconic name on the blues and rock circuit in both the UK and the US and it is due to this huge legacy that he is still touring at the grand age of 64. Having enjoyed success with his previous bands Humble Pie and The Herd as well as having an impressive solo career of his own, his set lists are now a combination of his best work as well as covers by some of his celebrated collaborators.
Having had the opportunity to work with the likes of David Bowie and Matt Cameron, Frampton has some incredible stories that he is more than happy to share with the doting crowds. He speaks with such fondness about his past and the fans are transfixed listening to his interesting and varied career before he begins poignant renditions of 'Lines on My Face' and 'Show Me The Way'.
He really showcases his expert guitar playing ability during the whole show, perhaps best demonstrated during a cover of 'Black Hole Sun' by Soundgarden as the audience cheer him on. By the final blistering notes of the guitar ring out around the venue, it is clear that Peter will still be touring in ten years due to the passion he has for music.
What a great show. To say the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater was rocking last night would be an understatement. Two bands that have been around since before most of the audience was born had the young and the old (like me) on their feet from start to finish. Frampton is better than ever. His guitar work, like a fine wine, has only improved with age. The Doobie Brothers, well what can I say, they are still at the top of their game and rocking like a long train running. Both bands played a lot of old favorites mixed with new music that I expect to become old favorites in the future. The sound was balanced, the music was tight and flowed like a cool breeze through the warm July night. The crowd was really into both bands from the first Frampton tune until the last one of the Doobie's third encore. My favorite part was when Frampton came back out and joined the Doobies for a ten minute jam secession, something you can only see at a live show. Man, did they lay it down. Four guitar players and a sax player tearing it up. It just don't get any better but if it does I want to be there.
Hi Everyone, I planned a surprise retirement party for my husband and purchased an entire row for my husband and his former co-workers/friends. Unfortunately, this was a Guys Only Party so I was unable to attend. They all told me Peter Frampton was absolutely AWESOME! He is an awesome singer/songwriter and everyone loves his live concerts. They also told me the sound quality was excellent so it appears he makes sure his audience will not be disappointed. As to history, the first time I heard Peter Frampton was in the 1970's after me and my husband got married in Elkton, Maryland. You could say that was where our reception was as our friends met us there for a rocking time with Peter Frampton, Gary Wright and Yes (120,000 people were at that event in Philadelphia, PA.) I am disabled now but I really hope to catch him next year on tour and am saving up for it. If you're having the blues, go to his concert, you will have a wonderful time and his music will lift your blues away! I will definitely use Songkick to track his upcoming shows so I can go the next time he is in my area!
I’ve seen hundreds of concerts by many great artists, both well-known and lesser-known. I’ve seen Peter Frampton 3 or 4 times and his performance is always top-notch.
Undiminished by his advancing age, his performance in 2019 was every bit as energetic, well-performed, enthusiastic, and downright fun as when I first saw him in concert over 25 years ago.
While many artists put on a good show, with good performances, few (if any) exude the pure joy of performing as Frampton, even during songs he’s played 1000s of times during his nearly 50 year professional career.
While I’m selfishly very sad that he’s retiring (largely due to illness) at the end of this tour, I’ll always treasure the memories of fantastic shows by a incredible guitarist, songwriter, singer, and performer. Thank you, Mr Frampton, and enjoy your well-earned retirement!
Thoroughly enjoyed the concert last night. I have seen Peter on two other occasions and have never been disappointed. This concert was somewhat emotional since it was part of his final tour. As usual every song was played to the max with plenty of guitar and band interplay. I had even requested I Don't Need No Doctor on Peter's Facebook page as one of their closing numbers and it was the second of three in their encore. It must have really been a nearly sold out crowd and everyone was into the music with several standing ovations.
If anyone is undecided as to attending any of the remaining concerts on the tour, I would say "get the tickets". You will not be disappointed.
Always loved Peter Frampton since the start of his career!!!! Great performer, knows how to connect and involve the audience with his shows. He gives it all. He has a friendly smile gets the audience to sing and plays for hours!!!!! No doubt the best concerts are his. I have been to numerous but he is number one in so many ways. So sorry he has this terrible disease He should be having the chance for everyone to see him perform again and again!!!! He is a great person as well as performer. No on does it better!!!! Just my opinion!!!!
the opener led zeppelin evening were wonderful and set the mood. stairway to heaven was fantastic.
peter Frampton came on with pictures of his previous life on the large screen. he is a real show man, got the sold out audience evolved and just loves being on stage. his music was fantastic using many different styles and speeds and showing the full extent of his musical ability.
his band is terrific.
it was a wonderful evening and very bittersweet that we may never see him again. peter please play Boston again. we love you.
I have had the privilege of seeing Peter Frampton three times. I wish it was thirty-three!
Frampton Comes Alive was a very precious album to me growing up. But I never was able to see him in concert until the last few years. Totally worth the wait!
His shows are peppered with wit and stories and a voice that still gives me goosebumps. That guitar, I hate just to call it playing, he is more of a virtuoso! His band is also phenomenal!
It was HOT out but Framptons playing was hotter!
Great time! Enjoyed seeing Peter’s son, Julian and Julian Frampton’s Band. We also had an opportunity to meet Julian and the band members after the show. The Led Zeppelin cover band was truly OUTSTANDING! We would love to see them again as the headliner! Peter was wonderful. It did have s lull in his performance as he did at least three blues songs that we weren’t familiar with. But otherwise I am so glad we saw his final tour. Another check off my bucket list!!!
