The guitarist, who is British, previously railed against COVID-19 vaccine mandates on a podcast with the U.S. presidential candidate and conspiracy theorist.
Has he? I have heard some stories about his political opinions over the last couple of years, but I honestly never heard too many other negative stories about the guy. Then again, I honestly don’t care to dig into his past. I’m not one of those who follow artists I like. There are tons of bands I love their music and I couldn’t tell you what they even look like.
Well, back in the '70s he stole one of the Beatles wives (George Harrison, I think), stole songs from blues artists he claimed to revere, went on a
public rant about how England was a white country (and should stay that way). So yeah, he’s been a giant douche for decades.
“Do we have any foreigners in the audience tonight? If so, please put up your hands… So where are you? Well wherever you all are, I think you should all just leave. Not just leave the hall, leave our country … I don’t want you here, in the room or in my country. Listen to me, man! I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the wogs out. Get the removed out. Keep Britain white”

Eric Clapton would never let a bag of cocaine fall out a window.
sorry

Genuine piece of shit
He’s literally why Rock against Racism formed. Because he went on a racist tirade in the 70s.
But he can’t be racist, he covered “I shot the Sheriff”?!
(Michael Franti mentioned it back in the 90s)
