**October 13, 2024** — Legendary guitarist and rock icon Eric Clapton announced today that he will be embarking on his final tour in 2025, bringing an end to his illustrious career spanning over six decades. The announcement was made during a special press conference in London, where Clapton shared his plans to retire from touring after what he called a “deeply fulfilling” journey in music.

 

The farewell tour, titled “The Last Solo,” is set to cover major cities across Europe, North America, and Asia, with special appearances by some of Clapton’s longtime collaborators. It will kick off in April 2025 and conclude later in the year with a final performance in his hometown of Surrey, England. Clapton emphasized that this tour will be a tribute to his fans, whom he credited for supporting him throughout his career.

 

Clapton, 79, is widely regarded as one of the greatest guitarists of all time, known for his groundbreaking work with bands such as The Yardbirds, Cream, and Derek and the Dominos, as well as his prolific solo career. During the press conference, Clapton reflected on the highs and lows of his career, from his early days in the British rock scene to his iconic hits like *Tears in Heaven* and *Layla*.

 

“This tour is for all of you who’ve been there with me through thick and thin,” Clapton told reporters. “It’s been an incredible ride, but I believe it’s time to step back and enjoy the next chapter of life.”

 

Fans around the world have already expressed mixed emotions—excited for one last opportunity to see the guitar legend live, yet sad to witness the end of an era in rock music. Tickets for the tour are expected to sell out quickly, with pre-sales beginning next week.

 

Clapton’s farewell marks the close of a monumental chapter in music history, leaving behind a legacy that will inspire generations to come.
