Eric Clapton live in Singapore

Directly on the heels of his new album release “Clapton”, LUSHINGTON ENTERTAINMENTS is proud to announce Eric Clapton’s return to Asia on his 2011 world tour. Eric Clapton will perform in Singapore on Valentine’s Day, 14 Feb 2011 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium and Hong Kong on 18 Feb 2011 at the Asia-World Arena.

Critics are raving about the latest Clapton album as a new and inspiring body of work by one of the world’s most legendary guitar players. Co-produced by guitarist and long-time collaborator Doyle Bramhall II, the album features an all star cast of musical collaborations starting with the legendary JJ Cale, drummer Jim Keltner, bassist Willie Weeks, and keyboardist Walt Richmond—and the sessions later added guests including Steve Winwood, Wynton Marsalis, Sheryl Crow, Allen Toussaint, and Derek Trucks. Eric touches on everything from century-old traditional brass bands to little-known country blues to brand-new originals.

Eric has assembled an impressive band for the 2011 tour which will consist of long-time touring partners: Steve Gadd (drums), Willie Weeks (bass), Chris Stainton (keyboards) along with Michelle John and Sharon White as backing vocalists.

Eric Clapton is the only triple inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame (as a member of both the Yardbirds and Cream and as a solo artist). He has also won or shared in eighteen Grammy Awards. Clapton has also contributed to numerous artists’ albums over the decades and toured extensively performing thousands of concerts around the globe. Throughout his career, critics and fans have viewed Clapton as one of the most important and influential guitarists of all time. Clapton was ranked fourth in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" and #53 on their list of the "Immortals: 100 Greatest Artists of All Time". In 2010, Clapton was ranked #4 on Gibson’s Top 50 Guitarists of All Time.
The 2011 concerts mark the return of Eric Clapton to these shores with Lushington Entertainments, after being the first artist to kickstart the company when they promoted his 1990 Journeyman Tour. In 2007, Lushington encored the earlier shows with two sold-out shows again in Singapore and Hong Kong.
