Clapton Announces Tour

Eric Clapton has just announced he will return to North America in the early New Year for a tour of the West.

The guitar legend will kick off the new tour in February fresh after his current tour, which is travelling in Japan and Australia. The tour will visit the Midwest, Southwest and West Coast covering 11 U.S. states and three Western Canadian cities. As with Clapton's 2006 tour, The Robert Cray Band will be the show opener and there is speculation that Derek Trucks will also return supporting Clapton on guitar.
