Eric Clapton: Cancels appearance at Rock Hall 25th anniversary concert


The two night 25th anniversary concert as the complete lineup for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum at Madison Square Garden continues to unfold, one major player will be missing.
Eric Clapton, originally scheduled to perform on Friday, October 30th, has cancelled his appearance due to a medical procedure for gall stones, according to a press release from the Hall of Fame.
Clapton willl spend time recuperating at his home in the UK.
Just this week, the Hall of Fame added legendary rockers John Fogerty and Ray Davies to the all star lineup.
Bluesmen B.B. King and Buddy Guy were added last week along with several others. Guy, was slated to perform with Clapton.
Major acts such as U2, Bruce Springsteen, Metallica, Aretha Franklin, Simon and Garfunkel and Crosby, Still and Nash will perform with particular guests.
The Rock Hall says its working hard on a replacement for Clapton's segment.
Might I suggest, Sir Paul McCartney?
