Frampton says: "At the end of every 'Finale' tour show, I did say 'never say never' and I am always full of hope for the impossible. I'm very pleased to let you know that I am feeling strong and my fingers are still roaming the fretboard. Every note I play now has more meaning and soul. I love playing live and this fighter wants to stay in the ring for as long as he can. Much love, Peter ."

• Do You Feel Like I Do - Peter’s Memoir

On April 22, 1950 Peter Kenneth Frampton was born to Owen and Peggy Frampton in Beckenham, Kent, UK

At the age of 10, Peter played in a band called The Little Ravens. He and David Bowie both went to Bromley Technical School and would spend lunch breaks together, playing Buddy Holly songs. The Little Ravens and Bowie's band, George and the Dragons, played shows together. When he was 11 years old, he played in the Trubeats before joining The Preachers, a band that Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman produced and managed.

Peter became a successful child guitarist, and in 1966 he became a member of The Herd, landing three British Top 10 hits. He was also named The Face of 1968 by Rave, a teen magazine.

In 1969, when Peter was 18 years old in 1969, he co-founded one of the first super groups, seminal rock act Humble Pie with Steve Marriott.

Peter met Pete Drake in 1970, on George Harrison’s session for his All Things Must Pass album.  Pete introduced Peter to the "talk box" which would become one of Frampton's trademark guitar effects. In 1972, Peter's solo career debut Wind of Change was released, with guest artists Billy Preston and Ringo Starr.

Peter released a whopping 6 albums in this decade: Frampton's Camel was released in 1973 and Somethin's Happening was released in 1974. In 1975, Frampton was released and rose to #32 in the US charts, and was certified Gold by the RIAA. In 1976, Frampton Comes Alive! was released and became a best-selling live album with hit singles "Baby, I Love Your Way," "Show Me the Way," and "Do You Feel Like We Do". In 1977, I'm In You was released and went platinum

In 1978, Peter starred in Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band with The Bee Gees, Aerosmith, Billy Preston, George Burns and others. Later that year, Peter was in a near-fatal car accident in the Bahamas.

Peter received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1979 and that same year, Where I Should Be was released.

Rise Up was released in 1980. The same year, Peter's black Les Paul Custom, "Phenix", was lost in a plane crash. In 1981, Breaking All the Rules was released and was recorded almost completely live. 1982 brought the release of The Art of Control. In 1986, Premonition was released with the hit single, "Lying". Frampton played on David Bowie's album Never Let Me Down in 1987 and joined Bowie on his Glass Spider tour.

In 1994, the Peter Frampton album was released. Frampton Comes Alive! II was recorded on June 15, 1995 at The Fillmore Theater in San Francisco. In 1996, Peter appeared as himself on the hit tv show The Simpsons headlining Homerpalooza.

In 2000, Peter was the technical advisor for Cameron Crowe’s Oscar winning movie, Almost Famous. Peter wrote a lot of the music on the soundtrack and appeared in the film as Humble Pie’s road manager. The album Now was released in 2003 and Frampton embarked on a tour with Styx. In 2006, Peter released the album Fingerprints. And in 2007, the album won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album. Peter was immortalized as himself on The Family Guy in 2009.

Thank You Mr Churchill was released in 2010 and was Peter's 14th studio album. The album included a song written with his son, Julian Frampton. Peter went on a North American tour with the band Yes. 2011 marked the 35th anniversary of Frampton Comes Alive! and Peter embarked on a 69 date tour playing the songs exactly as they were recorded on the album. In 2012, Peter received ASCAP’s Global Impact Award. In 2013, Frampton's Guitar Circus went on tour featuring guest performers B.B. King, Robert Cray, Don Felder, Rick Derringer, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Steve Lukather, Sonny Landreth, Davy Knowles, David Hidalgo, Mike McCready, Roger McGuinn and Vinnie Moore. Frampton was one of several musicians to participate in 2014's The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to The Beatles tribute to the Beatles on the 50th anniversary of their first appearance on American television. Hummingbird in a Box was released in 2014 and Peter performed a few shows live onstage with the Cincinnati Ballet. Acoustic Classics was released in 2015, featuring many of his hits. In 2016, Frampton was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum. Peter toured with the Steve Miller Band in 2017 and 2018 and was given the Les Paul Innovation Award at NAMM in 2018 as well.

Peter Frampton on Tour

With the Peter Frampton Finale: The Farewell Tour, an iconic figure in rock takes the stage for one last round in 2019. Commencing June 18 in Tulsa and ending October 12 in San Francisco, the tour follows the singer and guitarist's announcement of his retirement due to his battle with inclusion body myositis (IBM), a progressive muscle disorder. 

It makes for a poignant occasion for any fan whose life has been touched by Frampton's songs in the five decades since the singer and guitarist first earned renown as the teenage frontman for Humble Pie and became one of the biggest sensations of the 1970s.

The evening will be a celebration first and foremost. The music legend always has been warm and engaging in signature songs like "Baby, I Love Your Way" and "Do You Feel Like We Do," and he wouldn't have it any other way. For the new tour, Frampton performs alongside his longtime bandmates Rob Arthur (keys, guitar, vocals), Steve Mackey (bass), Adam Lester (guitar), and Dan Wojciechowski (drums).

Peter Frampton Background

From co-founding one of rock's first supergroups while still a teenager to releasing the most famous live album of all time, Peter Frampton has had many milestones in a career that began in the London borough of Bromley in the early ‘60s. Inspired by heroes like Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochran, the young guitarist began his musical pursuits as an adolescent alongside David Bowie, an older classmate who became his lifelong friend.

By the time he was 16, Frampton was having his first hits with The Herd. When only 18, he co-founded Humble Pie with Steve Marriott of Small Faces and Spooky Tooth's Greg Ridley. The group's mix of hard rock and progressive styles made them a pioneer of heavy metal. 

After going solo in 1971, Frampton toured tirelessly in the U.S. His efforts paid off in 1976, when Frampton Comes Alive! became a phenomenon. Topping the Billboard charts for 10 weeks, it sold eight million copies and spawned three smashes in "Baby, I Love Your Way," "Show Me the Way," and "Do You Feel Like We Do."

Later career highlights included playing guitar on David Bowie's Glass Spider tour, winning a Grammy in 2007 for Best Pop Instrumental Album, and touring with a who's who of other six-string heroes as Frampton's Guitar Circus in 2013. Released in 2016, Acoustic Classics featured new performances of many of his best-known songs, including a few favorites from Frampton Comes Alive!

Best concert ever - in spite of the weather.

We have been seeing a lot of concerts since Joe Bonamassa's 2022 concert which was the first at the Greek after the pandemic. We remember him saying that if you like a certain artist you should see them as none of them including himself are getting any younger. We took that to heart and when the Peter Frampton tickets went on sale we were on it. My husband had our date night at the Greek and I loved it. Peter Frampton was great. He was so very gracious to the 5,000 fans who stood in the pouring rain to get into the venue. It poured rained until the second song he played and then the Concert gods smiled down on all of us as the sky cleared. What a fabulous show he put on. He can still play guitar like he used to and he can sing just as well. To say we loved it would be an understatement. Peter Frampton still rocks - bless him!!!

A delightful evening of music

Great performance great sound and video great venue. FUN

It was the BEST we Really Enjoyed it

First Time Ever visiting The Greek Theater Really Enjoyed The Show. Even With The Rain and The Cold Weather it Was Great to See That no one Left, That's How Great the Show Was 👍👍

Peter at The Greek

Frampton was in top form. Of course, The Greek sound quality is outstanding! Put the two together and I forgot it was raining. But that didn't dampen my experience. We all had a wonderful time! Thanks Peter!

Outstanding

The Peter Frampton show was better than I hoped for. Very enjoyable. The venue was awesome too!

A great concert.

Peter Frampton and his band played outstanding. It was well-paced, and he was talkative before most songs. Very entertaining!

Frampton show was very good! Venue is always great , clean, friendly staff !

Great concert!

This is one of the best concerts that I’ve ever been to, And I was at testing/Billy Joel the night previous. Played for 2 1/2 hours and seemed very thrilled to be there and very happy. His guitar playing was top-notch! If he comes back to make sure that you go!

“At the end of every Finale Tour show I did say, 'Never Say Never' and I am always full of hope for the impossible," Frampton said in a press release. "I'm very pleased to let you know that I am feeling strong and my fingers are still roaming the fretboard. Every note I play now has more meaning and soul. I love playing live and this fighter wants to stay in the ring for as long as he can. I'm so happy to be able to see you all one more time this summer. Much love, Peter."

Peter Frampton has announced his return to the road for the Never Say Never Tour , which will kick off in June and sees the Grammy-winning guitarist, frontman, and songwriter on an extensive US itinerary into August.

Last year, Frampton headed out on the Peter Frampton Finale – The Farewell Tour , so called as he was expecting it to be his last such outing due to his diagnosis with the degenerative muscle disease Inclusion-Body Myositus (IBM). But he has been pleasantly surprised to find that he still feels able to schedule a new tour.

“At the end of every Finale Tour show I did say, ‘Never Say Never’ and I am always full of hope for the impossible,” he says. “I’m very pleased to let you know that I am feeling strong and my fingers are still roaming the fretboard. Every note I play now has more meaning and soul. I love playing live and this fighter wants to stay in the ring for as long as he can. I’m so happy to be able to see you all one more time this summer. Much love, Peter.”

Tickets for the schedule will be available from Friday (14) at peterframpton.com . The official card of the Peter Frampton: Never Say Never Tour is Citi, whose members will have access to presale tickets in select markets beginning tomorrow (Wednesday) at 10am local time until April 13 at 10pm local time, via the Citi Entertainment program. More information is at citientertainment.com .

Last year’s tour by the 2014 inductee into the Musicians Hall of Fame included a sellout show back in his home city, at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Reviewing the show for Louder Than War , Simon Reed wrote: “Frampton plays a thirteen song setlist, plus the three encores. On paper, that might have seemed a little light, but with his easy conversation and these truly spectacular extended instrumental sections in some of the tunes it comes in at just under two and a half hours of inspirational music. They finish with ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps.’ It’s a fitting end to our time with one of the UK’s most iconic players.”

Frampton’s closing comments to that London audience chime happily with the new tour announcement. “Never say never,” he said. “I’m going to keep on fighting. Thank you very much everybody. This is a dream come true for me.”

So another artist cons us out of bucks as they pretend to do a “final tour”, only to come back. Cher, Tina Turner, Frampton…they all owe fans from that fake-last-tour refunds with interest. I assume now that frampton’s going to be setting down, which means Phil Collins has a special place in hell coming for setting that precedent. Proof that it really is better to burn out than fade away, folks.

It might have been nice to schedule some concerts in the central U.S. as well…Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, etc…

His classic 1976 live album, Frampton Comes Alive! , produced the now-ubiquitous live hits "Show Me The Way," "Baby, I Love Your Way" and "Do You Feel Like I Do." The album was nominated for a GRAMMY for Album Of The Year, the first of Frampton's five career nominations. His first win came 30 years later for his 2006 album, Fingerprints , which won Best Pop Instrumental Album.

Catching Up With Neal Francis: How Peter Frampton, A Spiritual Journey & Chicago Pride Led To A Timeless Live Album & Film

For Neal Francis, a hometown show was the ultimate stage to capture his energetic performance via live album and concert film. The cheekily titled 'Francis Comes Alive' was recorded at Chicago's Thalia Hall.

A hometown gig is often something special for a performer — local friends and family bring a particular energy to the audience; the feel of a familiar room can enliven the show. Undoubtedly, there's a joy in performing for people who live in the same milieu that inspired your music. 

For singer, songwriter and pianist Neal Francis , a hometown show was the ultimate stage to capture his energetic performance via live album and concert film. Recorded live to tape at Chicago's Thaila Hall with an expanded 11-piece band, Francis Comes Alive could've been cut in 1973 or 2023 — as if the Band, the Meters, Wings and Dr. John had become unstuck in time. 

Fittingly, Francis and co. rollick through 12 originals on vintage analog equipment under moody lighting. Most of the band don custom jumpsuits; shaggy-haired Francis is centerstage wailing on the keys, his paisley-printed one-piece open to the navel. Through an occasionally hazy filter, the camera pans over the sold-out audience and the sound engineer, who is grooving backstage.

Compared to the incredible and bombastic stage shows documented in Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé and Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour , Francis Comes Alive is stripped down. But it's clear Francis and his all-Chicago band are having a great time. Touring with such a large, local ensemble "felt like a high school band field trip," Francis tells GRAMMY.com. "We ham it up there…everybody's just so together and it feels like one unit."

Neal Francis will close 2023 — which saw him play 113 dates across the country — with a New Year's Eve show in Denver, Colorado. GRAMMY.com caught up with Francis to discuss Francis Comes Alive , his spiritual journey back to music, and receiving a blessing from the OG rocker to Come Alive . 

This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

You've been touring heavily in the past few years, which would certainly hone your live show. Was that part of the thinking behind putting out a live album?

Definitely. We had talked about doing a live record and it just made sense: We've played hundreds of shows together, let's document it. But then of course adding an extra seven people to the equation, that was more of a separate vision.

What about your live performance did you think would translate well to a live album/film?

We've persisted in presenting this kind of old school rock show that may not be as common anymore, which I think resonates with people.  I think people don't expect it because my recorded music is a lot more laid back and chill than what they encounter live. We just pour all of our energy into it. 

I tried to make the presentation of the live album and the live film— as much as I could within the constraints of our budget— look special and ethereal. It all came from my initial brainchild, but I definitely would not have come close to pulling it off were it not for having that team around me: Al Basse is the director, [and] my stylist Rachel Epperson made all the jumpsuits from scratch for the entire band – including the one I was wearing.

There's one guy in a white suit that has all this fringe under his arms…

That's our guitarist. It was funny because that was what I envisioned myself wearing initially. What always happens with Rachel is I'll come in with some idea and then she'll just really go out in left field with it and end up creating something that's way more cool than anything I could ever think of.

Rachel makes a lot of what we wear on stage on any given night. She's been with us since early on. 

There have been quite a few concert films out this year, including massive ones from Taylor Swift and Beyoncé . While yours is markedly different, did you think about any of those big tours as you were putting this concept together?

I don't want to say I have my head under a rock, but in some ways I do because I didn't have any idea that those were coming out! I don't have social media at all; I have a presence there thanks to my management team. I'm generally looking towards stuff I like from the past for inspiration, and [to] my spiritual journey. I read a lot. 

My range of influence is a little bit different than whatever's happening currently. And I'd love to see T Swift's movie. My dad actually went and saw it, and I didn't ask how he liked it, but I should. [ Laughs .] 

As far as other concert films, there's two that really come off the top of my head: The Last Waltz and Stop Making Sense . I feel like a cue was taken from The Last Waltz in hiring a horn section, perhaps. 

I had this pretty strong visual experience doing some breathwork in January of 2023 that gave birth to the whole visual concept, and that gave me enough vocabulary and manic energy to start collaborating with Al and Rachel. And it just took shape from there. 

I wanted custom set pieces like you would see on a 1960s variety show, but ideas like that had to be pared down. We ended up dressing up the risers, et cetera instead. The people I have working with me are just ingenious, so I think it came off really well. 

Beyond the pandemic, the past five years or so have been quite a whirlwind for you. You broke up with a partner, you started a music ministry job in 2018, made your debut album Changes in 2019 and then put out In Plain Sight — which was recorded in that church, where you were also living, in 2021. How does your creative journey reflect those experiences?

I got sober in October of 2015 and I didn't really start investing back into my music career until I was a couple years sober.

The common thread for me has been as I develop a spiritual way of life — not to say a religious way of life, but just as I devote more time to things like meditation and increased mindfulness and awareness — it seems to translate to these gifts in my career that I didn't have at all before getting sober. The more I contribute to that side of things, the more everything else blossoms.

Have you seen yourself evolve as a performer as well?

Unquestionably. I'll just say inwardly, Wow, I'm able to sing so much better now . When that recording was made at Thalia Hall, unfortunately, I was still smoking. And that was something that I was actually in the midst of a relapse, smoking cigarettes. And I can really hear it, when I listen back. 

One of the things that has been getting more consistent is my commitment to my vocal process, warming up and the sort of exercises I do. Also just the way in which I sing — learning how to sing at all because I just wasn't a singer before starting this project. Changes is really my first recorded attempt at singing lead vocals on anything.

What was your favorite song to play during this live session?

I still really enjoy playing "Changes" because we have this arrangement that's been kicked around live for a while, and the audience always really responds to it. "Sentimental Garbage" is another one that's really fun to play because we've added this sort of spacey droning synth section that is really fun and funny. 

We ham it up there and it's really fun to play with this band because everybody's just so together and it feels like one unit.

I've always appreciated that your music sounds a bit out of time. I'd love to hear a little bit about the sonic fabric of Neal Francis.

When I was making Changes , I was kind of like, how close can I get to this? Specifically Allen Toussaint and Leon Russell and J.J. Cale and Curtis Mayfield— these are some of my heroes; what is in their playbook for these situations? That's sort of how I arrive at new things, just really trying to go for a certain aesthetic and then inevitably ending up somewhere different.

I've got a huge range of influences that I tried to open up more to on my second record. And now the record I'm working on currently, it's just another snapshot. I think the unifying element is probably the process; we do a lot of stuff analog, recording live as a band, and I think that's perhaps increasingly rare, and it yields a certain sound that's difficult to replicate. 

I don't know if this is a musical hero of yours, but I read that you received a congratulatory text from Peter Frampton .

I guess he was tipped off by my friend Tom Cusimano. And the music industry is tiny in that regard. Tom sent Peter this Chicago Sun Times article about the Francis Comes Alive shows, and he sent his blessing. He was like, "Congratulations in advance, here's hoping it goes smoothly for you." It was so funny to get that the day we were recording. A real nice nod from him.

I have to ask you about this because it happened to me: the Neal Francis/ Neil Frances confusion. How do you feel about getting mistaken for that pop/dance duo?

It's definitely been a process. It's my actual name and not having any control over it, especially early on, it was really a challenge to let it roll off and accept it. Now we're actually acquainted with those guys and I'm going out to record something with them in early January. 

We run into them: We had consecutive sets at Outside Lands and then they were on the same flight to L.A. recently from San Fran. It's very congenial and they're really in a different space musically. So there's not really a threat; if anything, I think, it's a boon to our individual success because people will mistakenly end up at the other person's shows, but end up enjoying it because it's a quality experience. So hopefully our collaboration will yield something interesting.

Beyond that collab, you mentioned that you're working on a new album. What else is on your plate?

That's the main thing on my horizon is getting rest and then making the album. Hopefully, having that wrapped the first couple of months of the year. Then I'm not really touring very much until that record gets released. We'll be doing more of those one-offs and festivals over the summer, starting with Jazz Fest in May, and then coming back with a proper album release tour. 

[I'm also] building my own recording rig here at home so that we can record more and release more. It's two years since our last studio effort, and [I want to be] less precious about it but still having quality releases, but just maybe them being more frequent. That's just another muscle that I'm really excited to be working— just recording stuff on my own.

GRAMMY Rewind: Kendrick Lamar Honors Hip-Hop's Greats While Accepting Best Rap Album GRAMMY For 'To Pimp a Butterfly' In 2016

Upon winning the GRAMMY for Best Rap Album for 'To Pimp a Butterfly,' Kendrick Lamar thanked those that helped him get to the stage, and the artists that blazed the trail for him.

Updated Friday Oct. 13, 2023 to include info about Kendrick Lamar's most recent GRAMMY wins, as of the 2023 GRAMMYs.

A GRAMMY veteran these days, Kendrick Lamar has won 17 GRAMMYs and has received 47 GRAMMY nominations overall. A sizable chunk of his trophies came from the 58th annual GRAMMY Awards in 2016, when he walked away with five — including his first-ever win in the Best Rap Album category.

This installment of GRAMMY Rewind turns back the clock to 2016, revisiting Lamar's acceptance speech upon winning Best Rap Album for To Pimp A Butterfly . Though Lamar was alone on stage, he made it clear that he wouldn't be at the top of his game without the help of a broad support system. 

"First off, all glory to God, that's for sure," he said, kicking off a speech that went on to thank his parents, who he described as his "those who gave me the responsibility of knowing, of accepting the good with the bad."

Looking for more GRAMMYs news? The 2024 GRAMMY nominations are here!

He also extended his love and gratitude to his fiancée, Whitney Alford, and shouted out his Top Dawg Entertainment labelmates. Lamar specifically praised Top Dawg's CEO, Anthony Tiffith, for finding and developing raw talent that might not otherwise get the chance to pursue their musical dreams.

"We'd never forget that: Taking these kids out of the projects, out of Compton, and putting them right here on this stage, to be the best that they can be," Lamar — a Compton native himself — continued, leading into an impassioned conclusion spotlighting some of the cornerstone rap albums that came before To Pimp a Butterfly .

"Hip-hop. Ice Cube . This is for hip-hop," he said. "This is for Snoop Dogg , Doggystyle . This is for Illmatic , this is for Nas . We will live forever. Believe that."

To Pimp a Butterfly singles "Alright" and "These Walls" earned Lamar three more GRAMMYs that night, the former winning Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song and the latter taking Best Rap/Sung Collaboration (the song features Bilal , Anna Wise and Thundercat ). He also won Best Music Video for the remix of Taylor Swift 's "Bad Blood." 

Lamar has since won Best Rap Album two more times, taking home the golden gramophone in 2018 for his blockbuster LP DAMN ., and in 2023 for his bold fifth album, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers .

10 Essential Facts To Know About GRAMMY-Winning Rapper J. Cole

A Guide To Modern Funk For The Dance Floor: L'Imperatrice, Shiro Schwarz, Franc Moody, Say She She & Moniquea

James Brown changed the sound of popular music when he found the power of the one and unleashed the funk with "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag." Today, funk lives on in many forms, including these exciting bands from across the world.

It's rare that a genre can be traced back to a single artist or group, but for funk, that was James Brown . The Godfather of Soul coined the phrase and style of playing known as "on the one," where the first downbeat is emphasized, instead of the typical second and fourth beats in pop, soul and other styles. As David Cheal eloquently explains, playing on the one "left space for phrases and riffs, often syncopated around the beat, creating an intricate, interlocking grid which could go on and on." You know a funky bassline when you hear it; its fat chords beg your body to get up and groove.

Brown's 1965 classic, "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," became one of the first funk hits, and has been endlessly sampled and covered over the years, along with his other groovy tracks. Of course, many other funk acts followed in the '60s, and the genre thrived in the '70s and '80s as the disco craze came and went, and the originators of hip-hop and house music created new music from funk and disco's strong, flexible bones built for dancing.

Legendary funk bassist Bootsy Collins learned the power of the one from playing in Brown's band, and brought it to George Clinton , who created P-funk, an expansive, Afrofuturistic , psychedelic exploration of funk with his various bands and projects, including Parliament-Funkadelic . Both Collins and Clinton remain active and funkin', and have offered their timeless grooves to collabs with younger artists, including Kali Uchis , Silk Sonic , and Omar Apollo; and Kendrick Lamar , Flying Lotus , and Thundercat , respectively.

In the 1980s, electro-funk was born when artists like Afrika Bambaataa, Man Parrish, and Egyptian Lover began making futuristic beats with the Roland TR-808 drum machine — often with robotic vocals distorted through a talk box. A key distinguishing factor of electro-funk is a de-emphasis on vocals, with more phrases than choruses and verses. The sound influenced contemporaneous hip-hop, funk and electronica, along with acts around the globe, while current acts like Chromeo, DJ Stingray, and even Egyptian Lover himself keep electro-funk alive and well.

Today, funk lives in many places, with its heavy bass and syncopated grooves finding way into many nooks and crannies of music. There's nu-disco and boogie funk, nodding back to disco bands with soaring vocals and dance floor-designed instrumentation. G-funk continues to influence Los Angeles hip-hop, with innovative artists like Dam-Funk and Channel Tres bringing the funk and G-funk, into electro territory. Funk and disco-centered '70s revival is definitely having a moment, with acts like Ghost Funk Orchestra and Parcels , while its sparkly sprinklings can be heard in pop from Dua Lipa , Doja Cat , and, in full "Soul Train" character, Silk Sonic . There are also acts making dreamy, atmospheric music with a solid dose of funk, such as Khruangbin ’s global sonic collage.

There are many bands that play heavily with funk, creating lush grooves designed to get you moving. Read on for a taste of five current modern funk and nu-disco artists making band-led uptempo funk built for the dance floor. Be sure to press play on the Spotify playlist above, and check out GRAMMY.com's playlist on Apple Music , Amazon Music and Pandora .

Say She She

Aptly self-described as "discodelic soul," Brooklyn-based seven-piece Say She She make dreamy, operatic funk, led by singer-songwriters Nya Gazelle Brown, Piya Malik and Sabrina Mileo Cunningham. Their '70s girl group-inspired vocal harmonies echo, sooth and enchant as they cover poignant topics with feminist flair.

While they’ve been active in the New York scene for a few years, they’ve gained wider acclaim for the irresistible music they began releasing this year, including their debut album, Prism . Their 2022 debut single "Forget Me Not" is an ode to ground-breaking New York art collective Guerilla Girls, and " Norma " is their protest anthem in response to the news that Roe vs. Wade could be (and was) overturned. The band name is a nod to funk legend Nile Rodgers , from the "Le freak, c'est chi" exclamation in Chic's legendary tune "Le Freak."

Moniquea 's unique voice oozes confidence, yet invites you in to dance with her to the super funky boogie rhythms. The Pasadena, California artist was raised on funk music; her mom was in a cover band that would play classics like Aretha Franklin’ s "Get It Right" and Gladys Knight ’s "Love Overboard." Moniquea released her first boogie funk track at 20 and, in 2011, met local producer XL Middelton — a bonafide purveyor of funk. She's been a star artist on his MoFunk Records ever since, and they've collabed on countless tracks, channeling West Coast energy with a heavy dose of G-funk, sunny lyrics and upbeat, roller disco-ready rhythms.

Her latest release is an upbeat nod to classic West Coast funk, produced by Middleton, and follows her February 2022 groovy, collab-filled album, On Repeat .

Shiro Schwarz

Shiro Schwarz is a Mexico City-based duo, consisting of Pammela Rojas and Rafael Marfil, who helped establish a modern funk scene in the richly creative Mexican metropolis. On "Electrify" — originally released in 2016 on Fat Beats Records and reissued in 2021 by MoFunk — Shiro Schwarz's vocals playfully contrast each other, floating over an insistent, upbeat bassline and an '80s throwback electro-funk rhythm with synth flourishes.

Their music manages to be both nostalgic and futuristic — and impossible to sit still to. 2021 single "Be Kind" is sweet, mellow and groovy, perfect chic lounge funk. Shiro Schwarz’s latest track, the joyfully nostalgic "Hey DJ," is a collab with funkstress Saucy Lady and U-Key.

L'Impératrice

L'Impératrice (the empress in French) are a six-piece Parisian group serving an infectiously joyful blend of French pop, nu-disco, funk and psychedelia. Flore Benguigui's vocals are light and dreamy, yet commanding of your attention, while lyrics have a feminist touch.

During their energetic live sets, L'Impératrice members Charles de Boisseguin and Hagni Gwon (keys), David Gaugué (bass), Achille Trocellier (guitar), and Tom Daveau (drums) deliver extended instrumental jam sessions to expand and connect their music. Gaugué emphasizes the thick funky bass, and Benguigui jumps around the stage while sounding like an angel. L’Impératrice’s latest album, 2021’s Tako Tsubo , is a sunny, playful French disco journey.

Franc Moody

Franc Moody 's bio fittingly describes their music as "a soul funk and cosmic disco sound." The London outfit was birthed by friends Ned Franc and Jon Moody in the early 2010s, when they were living together and throwing parties in North London's warehouse scene. In 2017, the group grew to six members, including singer and multi-instrumentalist Amber-Simone.

Their music feels at home with other electro-pop bands like fellow Londoners Jungle and Aussie act Parcels. While much of it is upbeat and euphoric, Franc Moody also dips into the more chilled, dreamy realm, such as the vibey, sultry title track from their recently released Into the Ether .

Living Legends: Billy Idol On Survival, Revival & Breaking Out Of The Cage

"One foot in the past and one foot into the future," Billy Idol says, describing his decade-spanning career in rock. "We’ve got the best of all possible worlds because that has been the modus operandi of Billy Idol."

Living Legends is a series that spotlights icons in music still going strong today. This week, GRAMMY.com spoke with Billy Idol about his latest EP,   Cage , and continuing to rock through decades of changing tastes.

Billy Idol is a true rock 'n' roll survivor who has persevered through cultural shifts and personal struggles. While some may think of Idol solely for "Rebel Yell" and "White Wedding," the singer's musical influences span genres and many of his tunes are less turbo-charged than his '80s hits would belie.  

Idol first made a splash in the latter half of the '70s with the British punk band Generation X. In the '80s, he went on to a solo career combining rock, pop, and punk into a distinct sound that transformed him and his musical partner, guitarist Steve Stevens, into icons. They have racked up multiple GRAMMY nominations, in addition to one gold, one double platinum, and four platinum albums thanks to hits like "Cradle Of Love," "Flesh For Fantasy," and "Eyes Without A Face." 

But, unlike many legacy artists, Idol is anything but a relic. Billy continues to produce vital Idol music by collaborating with producers and songwriters — including Miley Cyrus — who share his forward-thinking vision. He will play a five-show Vegas residency in November, and filmmaker Jonas Akerlund is working on a documentary about Idol’s life. 

His latest release is Cage , the second in a trilogy of annual four-song EPs. The title track is a classic Billy Idol banger expressing the desire to free himself from personal constraints and live a better life. Other tracks on Cage incorporate metallic riffing and funky R&B grooves. 

Idol continues to reckon with his demons — they both grappled with addiction during the '80s — and the singer is open about those struggles on the record and the page. (Idol's 2014 memoir Dancing With Myself , details a 1990 motorcycle accident that nearly claimed a leg, and how becoming a father steered him to reject hard drugs. "Bitter Taste," from his last EP, The Roadside , reflects on surviving the accident.)

Although Idol and Stevens split in the late '80s — the skilled guitarist fronted Steve Stevens & The Atomic Playboys, and collaborated with Michael Jackson, Rick Ocasek, Vince Neil, and Harold Faltermeyer (on the GRAMMY-winning "Top Gun Anthem") —  their common history and shared musical bond has been undeniable. The duo reunited in 2001 for an episode of " VH1 Storytellers " and have been back in the saddle for two decades. Their union remains one of the strongest collaborations in rock 'n roll history.

While there is recognizable personnel and a distinguishable sound throughout a lot of his work, Billy Idol has always pushed himself to try different things. Idol discusses his musical journey, his desire to constantly move forward, and the strong connection that he shares with Stevens. 

Steve has said that you like to mix up a variety of styles, yet everyone assumes you're the "Rebel Yell"/"White Wedding" guy. But if they really listen to your catalog, it's vastly different.

Yeah, that's right. With someone like Steve Stevens, and then back in the day Keith Forsey producing... [Before that] Generation X actually did move around inside punk rock. We didn't stay doing just the Ramones two-minute music. We actually did a seven-minute song. [ Laughs ]. We did always mix things up. 

Then when I got into my solo career, that was the fun of it. With someone like Steve, I knew what he could do. I could see whatever we needed to do, we could nail it. The world was my oyster musically. 

"Cage" is a classic-sounding Billy Idol rocker, then "Running From The Ghost" is almost metal, like what the Devil's Playground album was like back in the mid-2000s. "Miss Nobody" comes out of nowhere with this pop/R&B flavor. What inspired that?

We really hadn't done anything like that since something like "Flesh For Fantasy" [which] had a bit of an R&B thing about it. Back in the early days of Billy Idol, "Hot In The City" and "Mony Mony" had girls [singing] on the backgrounds. 

We always had a bit of R&B really, so it was actually fun to revisit that. We just hadn't done anything really quite like that for a long time. That was one of the reasons to work with someone like Sam Hollander [for the song "Rita Hayworth"] on The Roadside . We knew we could go [with him] into an R&B world, and he's a great songwriter and producer. That's the fun of music really, trying out these things and seeing if you can make them stick. 

I listen to new music by veteran artists and debate that with some people. I'm sure you have those fans that want their nostalgia, and then there are some people who will embrace the newer stuff. Do you find it’s a challenge to reach people with new songs?

Obviously, what we're looking for is, how do we somehow have one foot in the past and one foot into the future? We’ve got the best of all possible worlds because that has been the modus operandi of Billy Idol. 

You want to do things that are true to you, and you don't just want to try and do things that you're seeing there in the charts today. I think that we're achieving it with things like "Running From The Ghost" and "Cage" on this new EP. I think we’re managing to do both in a way. 

** Obviously, "Running From The Ghost" is about addiction, all the stuff that you went through, and in "Cage" you’re talking about  freeing yourself from a lot of personal shackles. Was there any one moment in your life that made you really thought I have to not let this weigh me down anymore ? **

I mean, things like the motorcycle accident I had, that was a bit of a wake up call way back. It was 32 years ago. But there were things like that, years ago, that gradually made me think about what I was doing with my life. I didn't want to ruin it, really. I didn't want to throw it away, and it made [me] be less cavalier. 

I had to say to myself, about the drugs and stuff, that I've been there and I've done it. There’s no point in carrying on doing it. You couldn't get any higher. You didn't want to throw your life away casually, and I was close to doing that. It took me a bit of time, but then gradually I was able to get control of myself to a certain extent [with] drugs and everything. And I think Steve's done the same thing. We're on a similar path really, which has been great because we're in the same boat in terms of lyrics and stuff. 

So a lot of things like that were wake up calls. Even having grandchildren and just watching my daughter enlarging her family and everything; it just makes you really positive about things and want to show a positive side to how you're feeling, about where you're going. We've lived with the demons so long, we've found a way to live with them. We found a way to be at peace with our demons, in a way. Maybe not completely, but certainly to where we’re enjoying what we do and excited about it.

[When writing] "Running From The Ghost" it was easy to go, what was the ghost for us? At one point, we were very drug addicted in the '80s. And Steve in particular is super sober [now]. I mean, I still vape pot and stuff. I don’t know how he’s doing it, but it’s incredible. All I want to be able to do is have a couple of glasses of wine at a restaurant or something. I can do that now.

I think working with people that are super talented, you just feel confident. That is a big reason why you open up and express yourself more because you feel comfortable with what's around you.

Did you watch Danny Boyle's recent Sex Pistols mini-series?

I did, yes.

You had a couple of cameos; well, an actor who portrayed you did. How did you react to it? How accurate do you think it was in portraying that particular time period?

I love Jonesy’s book, I thought his book was incredible. It's probably one of the best bio books really. It was incredible and so open. I was looking forward to that a lot.

It was as if [the show] kind of stayed with Steve [Jones’ memoir] about halfway through, and then departed from it. [John] Lydon, for instance, was never someone I ever saw acting out; he's more like that today. I never saw him do something like jump up in the room and run around going crazy. The only time I saw him ever do that was when they signed the recording deal with Virgin in front of Buckingham Palace. Whereas Sid Vicious was always acting out; he was always doing something in a horrible way or shouting at someone. I don't remember John being like that. I remember him being much more introverted.

But then I watched interviews with some of the actors about coming to grips with the parts they were playing. And they were saying, we knew punk rock happened but just didn't know any of the details. So I thought well, there you go . If ["Pistol" is]  informing a lot of people who wouldn't know anything about punk rock, maybe that's what's good about it.

Maybe down the road John Lydon will get the chance to do John's version of the Pistols story. Maybe someone will go a lot deeper into it and it won't be so surface. But maybe you needed this just to get people back in the flow.

We had punk and metal over here in the States, but it feels like England it was legitimately more dangerous. British society was much more rigid.

It never went [as] mega in America. It went big in England. It exploded when the Pistols did that interview with [TV host Bill] Grundy, that lorry truck driver put his boot through his own TV, and all the national papers had "the filth and the fury" [headlines].

We went from being unknown to being known overnight. We waited a year, Generation X. We even told them [record labels] no for nine months to a year. Every record company wanted their own punk rock group. So it went really mega in England, and it affected the whole country – the style, the fashions, everything. I mean, the Ramones were massive in England. Devo had a No. 1 song [in England] with "Satisfaction" in '77. Actually, Devo was as big as or bigger than the Pistols.

You were ahead of the pop-punk thing that happened in the late '90s, and a lot of it became tongue-in-cheek by then. It didn't have the same sense of rebelliousness as the original movement. It was more pop.

It had become a style. There was a famous book in England called Revolt Into Style — and that's what had happened, a revolt that turned into style which then they were able to duplicate in their own way. Even recently, Billie Joe [Armstrong] did his own version of "Gimme Some Truth," the Lennon song we covered way back in 1977.

When we initially were making [punk] music, it hadn't become accepted yet. It was still dangerous and turned into a style that people were used to. We were still breaking barriers.

You have a band called Generation Sex with Steve Jones and Paul Cook. I assume you all have an easier time playing Pistols and Gen X songs together now and not worrying about getting spit on like back in the '70s?

Yeah, definitely. When I got to America I told the group I was putting it together, "No one spits at the audience."

We had five years of being spat on [in the UK], and it was revolting. And they spat at you if they liked you. If they didn't like it they smashed your gear up. One night, I remember I saw blood on my T-shirt, and I think Joe Strummer got meningitis when spit went in his mouth.

You had to go through a lot to become successful, it wasn't like you just kind of got up there and did a couple of gigs. I don't think some young rock bands really get that today.

With punk going so mega in England, we definitely got a leg up. We still had a lot of work to get where we got to, and rightly so because you find out that you need to do that. A lot of groups in the old days would be together three to five years before they ever made a record, and that time is really important. In a way, what was great about punk rock for me was it was very much a learning period. I really learned a lot [about] recording music and being in a group and even writing songs.

Then when I came to America, it was a flow, really. I also really started to know what I wanted Billy Idol to be. It took me a little bit, but I kind of knew what I wanted Billy Idol to be. And even that took a while to let it marinate.

You and Miley Cyrus have developed a good working relationship in the last several years. How do you think her fans have responded to you, and your fans have responded to her?

I think they're into it. It's more the record company that she had didn't really get "Night Crawling"— it was one of the best songs on Plastic Hearts , and I don't think they understood that. They wanted to go with Dua Lipa, they wanted to go with the modern, young acts, and I don't think they realized that that song was resonating with her fans. Which is a shame really because, with Andrew Watt producing, it's a hit song.

But at the same time, I enjoyed doing it. It came out really good and it's very Billy Idol. In fact, I think it’s more Billy Idol than Miley Cyrus. I think it shows you where Andrew Watt was. He was excited about doing a Billy Idol track. She's fun to work with. She’s a really great person and she works at her singing — I watched her rehearsing for the Super Bowl performance she gave. She rehearsed all Saturday morning, all Saturday afternoon, and Sunday morning and it was that afternoon. I have to admire her fortitude. She really cares.

I remember when you went on " Viva La Bam "  back in 2005 and decided to give Bam Margera’s Lamborghini a new sunroof by taking a power saw to it. Did he own that car? Was that a rental?

I think it was his car.

Did he get over it later on?

He loved it. [ Laughs ] He’s got a wacky sense of humor. He’s fantastic, actually. I’m really sorry to see what he's been going through just lately. He's going through a lot, and I wish him the best. He's a fantastic person, and it's a shame that he's struggling so much with his addictions. I know what it's like. It's not easy.

Musically, what is the synergy like with you guys during the past 10 years, doing Kings and Queens of the Underground and this new stuff? What is your working relationship like now in this more sober, older, mature version of you two as opposed to what it was like back in the '80s?

In lots of ways it’s not so different because we always wrote the songs together, we always talked about what we're going to do together. It was just that we were getting high at the same time.We're just not getting [that way now] but we're doing all the same things.

We're still talking about things, still [planning] things:What are we going to do next? How are we going to find new people to work with? We want to find new producers. Let's be a little bit more timely about putting stuff out.That part of our relationship is the same, you know what I mean? That never got affected. We just happened to be overloading in the '80s.

The relationship’s… matured and it's carrying on being fruitful, and I think that's pretty amazing. Really, most people don't get to this place. Usually, they hate each other by now. [ Laughs ] We also give each other space. We're not stopping each other doing things outside of what we’re working on together. All of that enables us to carry on working together. I love and admire him. I respect him. He's been fantastic. I mean, just standing there on stage with him is always a treat. And he’s got an immensely great sense of humor. I think that's another reason why we can hang together after all this time because we've got the sense of humor to enable us to go forward.

There's a lot of fan reaction videos online, and I noticed a lot of younger women like "Rebel Yell" because, unlike a lot of other '80s alpha male rock tunes, you're talking about satisfying your lover.

It was about my girlfriend at the time, Perri Lister. It was about how great I thought she was, how much I was in love with her, and how great women are, how powerful they are.

It was a bit of a feminist anthem in a weird way. It was all about how relationships can free you and add a lot to your life. It was a cry of love, nothing to do with the Civil War or anything like that. Perri was a big part of my life, a big part of being Billy Idol. I wanted to write about it. I'm glad that's the effect.

Is there something you hope people get out of the songs you've been doing over the last 10 years? Do you find yourself putting out a message that keeps repeating?

Well, I suppose, if anything, is that you can come to terms with your life, you can keep a hold of it. You can work your dreams into reality in a way and, look, a million years later, still be enjoying it.

The only reason I'm singing about getting out of the cage is because I kicked out of the cage years ago. I joined Generation X when I said to my parents, "I'm leaving university, and I'm joining a punk rock group." And they didn't even know what a punk rock group was. Years ago, I’d write things for myself that put me on this path, so that maybe in 2022 I could sing something like "Cage" and be owning this territory and really having a good time. This is the life I wanted.

The original UK punk movement challenged societal norms. Despite all the craziness going on throughout the world, it seems like a lot of modern rock bands are afraid to do what you guys were doing. Do you think we'll see a shift in that?

Yeah.  Art usually reacts to things, so I would think eventually there will be a massive reaction to the pop music that’s taken over — the middle of the road music, and then this kind of right wing politics. There will be a massive reaction if there's not already one. I don’t know where it will come from exactly. You never know who's gonna do [it].

Peter Frampton (born April 22, 1950) is an English-American rock singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist, hailing from Bromley, South London, UK.

After developing an interest in music at an early age, Frampton started taking classical music lessons aged just eight. With early influences including Cliff Richard, Buddy Holly and Jimi Hendrix, the singer-songwriter played in a number of bands in his teens including The Little Ravens, The Trubeats and The Preachers – the latter of which was produced and managed by Bill Wyman of The Rolling Stones. After subsequent bands The Herd, The Small Faces and Humble Pie, Frampton went solo in 1971 and released his debut “Winds of Change” in 1972.

Frampton subsequently released the albums “Frampton’s Camel” in 1973 and “Somethin’s Happening” in 1974, during which period the musician developed a devoted following aided by his elaborate and extensive tours. The singer’s breakthrough came with the 1976 live album release “Frampton Comes Alive!”, which showcased a whole catalogue of Frampton’s under-exposed songs, catapulting the energetic singer to superstardom. The double LP shot to the top of the charts and sold over 16 million copies worldwide, becoming the most popular live album ever to be released at that time. Spawning the hits “Baby, I Love Your Way”, “Do You Feel Like We Do” and “Show Me The Way”, the album also led to a multi-million dollar blockbuster tour, up there with the likes of Kiss and Cheap Trick.

Under pressure from his label A&M, Frampton released the rushed album “I’m in You” in 1977. The album performed well in the charts reaching No. 2 and the title track resulted in Frampton’s biggest hit of his career. After his high-profile acting debut in the flop of a film “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”, a serious car accident in the Bahamas, the breakdown of his marriage and a slide into drug abuse, Frampton subsequent album “Where I Should Be” (1979) failed to maintain his previous successes.

“Breaking All the Rules” was released in 1981 and marked a haircut for the singer-songwriter, followed the year after with “The Art of Control”. After a period of lying low, Frampton returned with the 1986 album “Premonition” and an appearance on his school friend David Bowie’s album “Never Let Me Down”. Frampton subsequently released “When All the Pieces Fit” in 1989, a self-titled album in 1994, “Frampton Comes Alive II” in 1995, “Now” in 2004, “Fingerprints” in 2006, and his 14th studio album “Thank You Mr. Churchill” in 2010.

Live reviews

First of all--I have been a fan of Peter Frampton since probably 1974, not so much his own earlier 'solo'/Camel albums, though I truly enjoyed his stint in Humble Pie. I have seen him live in concert before but it's been 16 years since the last time, though I have many albums over the years and have several he's done in recent years and also enjoy them all. I think Frampton is a major talent and his show and playing and song choice and guest artists and band were all terrific, given the limited time permitted for each--including Buddy Guy, David Hidalgo, Robert Randolph, & Randy Bachman--to play with him, possibly without even any, or much, rehearsal. The guy IS great, played the legendary black triple-pickup Les Paul that turned up missing, presumably lost in a plane crash en route to Venezuela in 1980, which he recovered only a year or two ago, although he only played it on 2 or 3 songs. BUT...one of those few songs is, and was, my 'favorite' BY him--" Lines On My Face", which was also on his 'Frampton Comes Alive' album in 1976. What more Could I desire?? a longer show, more songs, more time with the artists present,especially Robert Randolph & Buddy Guy. Nonetheless, it WAS a great show

Report as inappropriate

Peter Frampton is an iconic name on the blues and rock circuit in both the UK and the US and it is due to this huge legacy that he is still touring at the grand age of 64. Having enjoyed success with his previous bands Humble Pie and The Herd as well as having an impressive solo career of his own, his set lists are now a combination of his best work as well as covers by some of his celebrated collaborators.

Having had the opportunity to work with the likes of David Bowie and Matt Cameron, Frampton has some incredible stories that he is more than happy to share with the doting crowds. He speaks with such fondness about his past and the fans are transfixed listening to his interesting and varied career before he begins poignant renditions of 'Lines on My Face' and 'Show Me The Way'.

He really showcases his expert guitar playing ability during the whole show, perhaps best demonstrated during a cover of 'Black Hole Sun' by Soundgarden as the audience cheer him on. By the final blistering notes of the guitar ring out around the venue, it is clear that Peter will still be touring in ten years due to the passion he has for music.

What a great show. To say the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater was rocking last night would be an understatement. Two bands that have been around since before most of the audience was born had the young and the old (like me) on their feet from start to finish. Frampton is better than ever. His guitar work, like a fine wine, has only improved with age. The Doobie Brothers, well what can I say, they are still at the top of their game and rocking like a long train running. Both bands played a lot of old favorites mixed with new music that I expect to become old favorites in the future. The sound was balanced, the music was tight and flowed like a cool breeze through the warm July night. The crowd was really into both bands from the first Frampton tune until the last one of the Doobie's third encore. My favorite part was when Frampton came back out and joined the Doobies for a ten minute jam secession, something you can only see at a live show. Man, did they lay it down. Four guitar players and a sax player tearing it up. It just don't get any better but if it does I want to be there.

Hi Everyone, I planned a surprise retirement party for my husband and purchased an entire row for my husband and his former co-workers/friends. Unfortunately, this was a Guys Only Party so I was unable to attend. They all told me Peter Frampton was absolutely AWESOME! He is an awesome singer/songwriter and everyone loves his live concerts. They also told me the sound quality was excellent so it appears he makes sure his audience will not be disappointed. As to history, the first time I heard Peter Frampton was in the 1970's after me and my husband got married in Elkton, Maryland. You could say that was where our reception was as our friends met us there for a rocking time with Peter Frampton, Gary Wright and Yes (120,000 people were at that event in Philadelphia, PA.) I am disabled now but I really hope to catch him next year on tour and am saving up for it. If you're having the blues, go to his concert, you will have a wonderful time and his music will lift your blues away! I will definitely use Songkick to track his upcoming shows so I can go the next time he is in my area!

I’ve seen hundreds of concerts by many great artists, both well-known and lesser-known. I’ve seen Peter Frampton 3 or 4 times and his performance is always top-notch.

Undiminished by his advancing age, his performance in 2019 was every bit as energetic, well-performed, enthusiastic, and downright fun as when I first saw him in concert over 25 years ago.

While many artists put on a good show, with good performances, few (if any) exude the pure joy of performing as Frampton, even during songs he’s played 1000s of times during his nearly 50 year professional career.

While I’m selfishly very sad that he’s retiring (largely due to illness) at the end of this tour, I’ll always treasure the memories of fantastic shows by a incredible guitarist, songwriter, singer, and performer. Thank you, Mr Frampton, and enjoy your well-earned retirement!

Thoroughly enjoyed the concert last night. I have seen Peter on two other occasions and have never been disappointed. This concert was somewhat emotional since it was part of his final tour. As usual every song was played to the max with plenty of guitar and band interplay. I had even requested I Don't Need No Doctor on Peter's Facebook page as one of their closing numbers and it was the second of three in their encore. It must have really been a nearly sold out crowd and everyone was into the music with several standing ovations.

If anyone is undecided as to attending any of the remaining concerts on the tour, I would say "get the tickets". You will not be disappointed.

Always loved Peter Frampton since the start of his career!!!! Great performer, knows how to connect and involve the audience with his shows. He gives it all. He has a friendly smile gets the audience to sing and plays for hours!!!!! No doubt the best concerts are his. I have been to numerous but he is number one in so many ways. So sorry he has this terrible disease He should be having the chance for everyone to see him perform again and again!!!! He is a great person as well as performer. No on does it better!!!! Just my opinion!!!!

the opener led zeppelin evening were wonderful and set the mood. stairway to heaven was fantastic.

peter Frampton came on with pictures of his previous life on the large screen. he is a real show man, got the sold out audience evolved and just loves being on stage. his music was fantastic using many different styles and speeds and showing the full extent of his musical ability.

his band is terrific.

it was a wonderful evening and very bittersweet that we may never see him again. peter please play Boston again. we love you.

I have had the privilege of seeing Peter Frampton three times. I wish it was thirty-three!

Frampton Comes Alive was a very precious album to me growing up. But I never was able to see him in concert until the last few years. Totally worth the wait!

His shows are peppered with wit and stories and a voice that still gives me goosebumps. That guitar, I hate just to call it playing, he is more of a virtuoso! His band is also phenomenal!

It was HOT out but Framptons playing was hotter!

Great time! Enjoyed seeing Peter’s son, Julian and Julian Frampton’s Band. We also had an opportunity to meet Julian and the band members after the show. The Led Zeppelin cover band was truly OUTSTANDING! We would love to see them again as the headliner! Peter was wonderful. It did have s lull in his performance as he did at least three blues songs that we weren’t familiar with. But otherwise I am so glad we saw his final tour. Another check off my bucket list!!!

I’m very pleased to let you know that I am feeling strong and my fingers are still roaming the fretboard.”

“Every note I play now has more meaning and soul. I love playing live and this fighter wants to stay in the ring for as long as he can.” Peter Frampton said.

“Despite the medical setbacks he’s faced in recent years, it’s obvious that Frampton still has a lot of fight left in him and that he’s not ready to hang up his guitar just yet.”

“It was a performance that left no soul untouched.”

“Iconic Brit shows us the way to keep playing with grace, humor, and some damn fine music.”

“In an awe-inspiring evening flooded with timeless songs, Frampton – who really doesn’t have anything to prove at this point – shows us the way and demonstrates once again why he’s undeniably one of rock’s finest guitarists; one who defies the odds and continues to thrill audiences, while still very much at the top of his game.”

Peter Frampton on His Rock Hall Induction: ‘My Phone Hasn’t Stopped Blowing Up’

By Andy Greene

Andy Greene

After three decades of eligibility where he didn’t appear on a single ballot, Peter Frampton was starting to think he’d never be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame . But once voters finally had to chance to select him earlier this year, things changed very quickly. He learned the good news over the weekend when his manager phoned him up to say he made it. “I was absolutely blown away,” Frampton says. “My mind has been sort of a blur ever since I found out, especially since the announcement [on American Idol ] last night. My phone hasn’t stopped blowing up since.”

The afternoon after the news broke, Frampton spoke with Rolling Stone about the Hall of Fame, his fellow inductees, what he’s planning for the big night, upcoming tour plans, his battle with inclusion body myositis, and his hope that Cher changes her mind and shows up on induction night.

The thing that blew me away the most was not actually getting in — even though that is a phenomenal, unbelievable thing. It’s the amount of people who voted for me [in the fan vote]. You don’t quite understand where you’re at until you look at the amount of people who voted for you. Those are the people I need to thank the most. That was a real wonderful shock.

Editor’s picks

The 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history, every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term.

I think part of the problem is that rock critics had a huge voice in the nominating process for a long time. You had such an insanely big record in the Seventies, and it attracted so many young fans, that you maybe turned off some critics. Yeah. Sometimes you can be too big. Hootie & the Blowfish, same thing. You have this ginormous selling record, and it works against you. It becomes too much of a good thing. Framptom Comes Alive! turned into Rubik’s Cube very quickly. Look what happened to that. But I can open one of those very quickly now since I’ve learned the secret.

Had you attended an induction before last year? I went when Metallica got in. It was a much smaller event in those days compared to last year’s. I’ve watched every one, all the inductees over the years, whether it be live or on film. I always thought, “Maybe… Who knows?”

It’s a cool class this year with Cher, Foreigner, Dave Matthews, Ozzy… It’s very cool. I think because of the new team that’s running it, headed by John Sykes…having known a little bit and spoken with some of them, things were not that realistic before…there were a lot of missed opportunities before, and some artists that weren’t maybe ready to go in.

Ozzy Osbourne on Rock Hall Induction: 'I'm Happy I'm Alive To See This'

Lou gramm on foreigner's long-awaited rock hall induction: 'justice has been done', kool & the gang sang 'celebration' when they learned they entered the rock and roll hall of fame.

I loved seeing John Mayall’s name. He really deserves it. Absolutely. There I was in the front row of the Flamingo Club in London watching him and Eric Clapton, and him and Peter Green. I would always go up there. He has always been a champion of so many incredible guitar players, as well as being this guy that never faltered, never went commercial, never did anything but the blues. I applaud him for that. He very much deserves to get in.

There’s also people that grumble about R&B and hip-hop artists getting inducted. To me, it makes perfect sense to bring in Mary J. Blige and A Tribe Called Quest. Maybe it should be called the Music Hall of Fame as opposed to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They’re king of stuck now. But I agree. Mary J. Blige is an unbelievable talent. They definitely both deserve to get in.

Shortly before she was placed on the ballot, Cher basted the Hall of Fame and said she wouldn’t go even if she got in. I’m hoping she changes her mind. Oh, go on, Cher! We want you there. It’s okay. Look at how long I waited. I didn’t wait as long as you, but it’s okay. You’re in now. You’re in! Come on, Cher! [ Laughs ]

Do you have any thoughts on who might induct you or what songs you might play? Not right now. I haven’t been told. The basic thing I need to be told is how long musically I have, and how long speech-wise I have. And then I can make those decisions. I obviously have people in mind, but I haven’t spoken to anybody yet.

It’s going to be in Cleveland, which is pretty cool since it’s a great rock town, and you have so many fans there. Oh yeah. I’ve always loved Cleveland. I did my time in Cincinnati for a while. I lived there. They can’t take the Ohio out of me.

How do you think it’ll feel to stand at the podium, take the award, and finally give your speech? Oh, my stomach turned over when you said that. [ Laughs ] I don’t know. I’ll prepare for that moment. With great gratitude, I’ll step up to that microphone and accept what I never thought would happen for me.

You just finished a tour a few weeks back. How did that go? Fantastic. In fact, it looks like we’re going to do another two-week run sometime in the summer. I don’t have any info right now. It’s been incredible going back out after I quit. [ Laughs ] I think the crowds are so behind me since I don’t want to give up. I am a fighter. I’m going to be playing until that time comes when I can’t.

We all have our battles. We’re all fighting something. I’m just a person who is out there, doing the best he can, and brining awareness to IBM [inclusion body myositis], raising money where I can. We’ve got a lovely foundation at Johns Hopkins, the Peter Frampton Fund . People are still sending in money, which is wonderful. It’ll help us with clinical trials. Those are expensive. I’m raising money for them so we can find that magic bullet.

I’m very optimistic. I’m speaking with my doctors all the time, and hearing all the new stuff that’s coming along, and the new technologies the scientists are finding in the lab. It looks like something could be coming around the corner. We’re always hoping for that.

If your voice works and your hand works, why shouldn’t you be onstage? Exactly. I really want to share my time between three things right now. I have a record to make. I’ve been writing for six years or more. I have material up the yin yang. But only a few classics. [ Laughs ] I’m waiting a little longer, another month or two, and then I’m going to go in the studio.

In June, I’m going to England to do some stuff for my documentary. We’re going to go back to where I was born, and where I went to school with David Bowie, and the house where my brother and I grew up. We were doing some interviews with people last week in Los Angeles for the doc. We now have full funding. It’s full steam ahead. Those three projects are what we’re working on this year.

I would love to see Soungarden get in too. Oh my God. They’re not in?

It’s great seeing Ozzy Osbourne get in solo this year. He deserves to be in twice. I agree. The man is the Betty White of rock & roll. [ Laughs ]

It would be fun to see you play “Crazy Train” with him. That would be fantastic. Let’s see what happens.

Tour Peter Frampton’s Peaceful and Accessible Tennessee Home

Not long after Peter Frampton settled in downtown Nashville in 2011, his adopted neighborhood slowly yet surely morphed into the bachelorette-party capital of America. The legendary rock musician, who just marked his 60th year of touring, is no stranger to celebratory atmospheres. (His latest Never Ever Say Never tour kicked off on March 3 in Greensboro, North Carolina.) But when Frampton kept close to home during the pandemic, “the huge double-decker buses…just got so noisy from Thursday through Sunday.”

Frampton readied to relocate to a more peaceful condo nearby, until a new companion convinced him otherwise. That would be Bigsby, the service dog who for the last several years has supported Frampton as he adapts to life with inclusion body myositis (IBM). “I had decided to move, but in the interim I got Bigsby and I realized that living in an apartment wasn’t going to be the best thing,” he recalls. Extra confirmation of that hunch came with a visit to the home of friend and interior designer Robin Rains in a bucolic part of Nashville: “Robin has land and Bigsby was just beside himself. I saw him running free and thought, Oh my god, I’ve got to move. I needed a backyard, I wanted my privacy.” Rains had done work for Frampton previously, and without hesitation he commissioned her eponymous design studio to collaborate on this prospective project. “Peter very much has his card deck of people he works with, and he goes back to them,” Rains says of the trust she and Frampton have in one another.

Navigating a competitive marketplace, Frampton ultimately found a newly constructed house not far from Rains. The residence suited Bigsby, and it was big enough to accommodate visits from Frampton’s human family, which in December expanded to include a second grandchild. It just required tailoring to his specific needs and point of view. “Any time you work with a spec house, you’re really trying to make the space unique and memorable,” Rains says of the assignment, on which she was assisted by her in-house designer Jenna Miller.

Rains peeled back the interior architecture before making a mark. “We eliminated things we deemed unnecessary to get to a cleaner aesthetic,” she says of the removal of existing trim and lighting. Wood planks and Venetian plaster were then applied to ceilings and walls, and the entry as well as multiple closet doors were replaced, to crystallize the property’s European farmhouse identity.

Simultaneously, Rains removed larger chunks of the house to accommodate Frampton’s IBM. He specifically feels symptoms most around the knees, as his guitar-licking digits have resisted the autoimmune disease. “Stairs are my worst enemy,” says the musician, “[so] obviously we put in an elevator.” Exercise is one of the few clinically proven ways of slowing and reducing disease activity, and the retrofitted lift takes Frampton to an upstairs gym where he works out six days each week; “Bigsby snoozes while I exercise,” he says. The remaining second-floor rooms encompass a two-bedroom apartment with an office, reserved for guests, which is largely decorated in the previous condo’s furnishings.

Because he planned to spend most of his day downstairs, Frampton asked Rains to focus her attention on a suite of ground-floor rooms that includes a music room and studio—the latter converted from a den—in addition to a primary bedroom, kitchen, and family room. In these spaces, Rains says, IBM informed design choices. “We needed to think about how easily [Frampton] could get up from a sofa, so we customized those to be a little bit taller without necessarily looking like it,” Rains cites as one example. “We also used vintage chairs, but only pieces with arms and tight seats, and we put the kitchen’s coffee station close to the family room because Peter’s coffee is important. Attention to daily living was something we had to keep in mind with everything.”

At the same time, Frampton wanted the renovation project to celebrate his family and personal style rather than merely accommodate his condition. “I didn’t think I had any specific taste, and don’t get me wrong, I knew nothing,” he prefaces. “But Robin told me that we think along the same lines, and she showed me what can be done and has taught me so much about design.” Rains isn’t quite so convinced of that narrative, however, noting that Frampton’s eye is as laser-focused on style as functionality. “Peter doesn’t like clutter; pieces need to be meaningful to him, and he wants to feel at rest at home,” the designer observes. Mission accomplished.

While many of the possessions from Peter Frampton’s condo were moved to the second floor of his new house, the musician asked interior designer Robin Rains to give pride of place to his long-treasured Pablo Picasso portrait, which was shot at his La Californie villa by Irving Penn in 1957. Rains mounted the artwork over a custom iron bench upholstered in Holland & Sherry’s Patagonia mélange wool flannel .

In the family room, patio doors center on a fireplace topped by an abstract painting by Bernadette de Samois. A custom sofa facing an ebony coffee table from Clubcu , as well as a bouclé-clad seat and Emmitt Lounge Chair by Charleston Forge , completes the vignette.

Rains removed some kitchen cabinetry to create a more commodious dining area. Frampton uses the expansive table as a multifunctional surface for WFH duties which, in the case of the rock star, includes signing posters. Light by Roll & Hill and seating by Faustine Furniture .

Rains reused much of the spec house’s existing kitchen, and put Frampton’s stamp on the space by illuminating the island in Apparatus’s Cylinder Pendant lights .

Rains approached the primary bedroom in a similar fashion as the studio, using expanses of Weitzner’s Ritual fabric to transform the space into a cocoon with the push of a button. “That whole-wall treatment really blew me away,” Frampton exclaims.

In a secondary bedroom, a Marco Bed with a headboard by Oly sits beneath Lawson-Fenning’s Alta Brass Dome luminaire . The flanking sconces were custom made by the Urban Electric Co.

In the music room, an oil-on-canvas triptych of Japanese martial artists hangs above a mohair-upholstered Wave Sofa by Baker . The chandelier, Wareco’s O Branch V Curved , features lamps shaded in ostrich eggs. Local artisans from Olympia Paint Design were responsible for plastering walls in multiple rooms.

“I’ve lived in New York and Los Angeles, where people meet up and say, ‘We must get together and jam.’ Here, you do ,” Frampton says of Nashville’s music community. At Frampton’s home, these friends and colleagues may find themselves in the studio that Rains outfitted with an artfully worn vintage rug from Eliko Rugs by David Ariel and curtains sourced from James Dunlop Textiles , which visually and acoustically soften the jam sessions.

“He was so excited by his porch,” Rains says of indoor-outdoor space, which features Palecek lounge chairs, a Lee Industries outdoor sofa, multiple antiques, and a wall-mounted sculpture by husband-and-wife artists Cor Oda and Kit King. “It was important to create artistry and uniqueness to reflect Peter’s anticipation of dining and playing guitar there, but he also uses the space to stash his grandchild’s toys and let Bigsby lay on the stone.”

Singer, songwriter, and musician Peter Frampton

Peter Frampton has been a rock legend to fans and fellow musicians for decades, but now he’ll get his official designation in October. The British rock guitarist, who now calls Nashville, Tennessee home, learned this week, he’s being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

“It’s all a bit crazy,” he says with a laugh. “I’m still halfway through my assimilation into accepting it.”

This was Frampton’s first nomination, although he’s been eligible since the late 1990’s.

“To be honest,” he noted during a phone interview, “I’d archived it as something that would never happen, because I was eligible more than twenty years ago. So, I’m overwhelmed by the response by the fans, and the voting and everything.”

It’s interesting to note, he got the good news one day before his 74 th birthday.

“Yeah, all my birthdays came at once this week.”

Frampton began singing and playing guitar as a teenager, joining his first group at 16, then Humble Pie in 1969. He left two years later to pursue a solo career. He released a number of albums in the early 70s, but it was Frampton Comes Alive that made him a superstar. Released in 1976, it’s one of the best-selling live albums of all time with megahits “Show Me the Way,” “Baby I Love Your Way,” and “Do You Feel Like We Do.”

The album introduced his use of the Talk Box which allowed him blend his voice and guitar through a plastic tube and create entirely new sounds. Other artists like Stevie Wonder and Joe Walsh had done something similar, but Frampton worked to create his own unique style and signature sound.

“Obviously since autotune and the different sounds you can make with a computer, people are more used to that sound, but mine is still analog, it’s not a digital anything,” he explains. “It’s a physical thing that works. And I think that’s why it’s so much more appealing, because I can talk to the audience through it, and they love it.”

When he’s inducted into the Rock Hall this fall, he’ll be part of the Performer Category that includes Mary J. Blige, Cher, Dave Matthews Band, Foreigner, Kool & The Gang, Ozzy Osbourne, and A Tribe Called Quest.

Frampton has been busy touring, and he’s working on both a new album and a documentary. It’s been five years since he announced he’d stop touring due to a diagnosis of IBM IBM (Inclusion Body Myositis, a degenerative muscle disease that worsens over time. It’s already affected Frampton’s legs. He now walks with a cane and sits down when he performs. And while he can feel it a bit in his hands and fingers, the guitar great is still going strong.

“When I sit down and pick up a guitar, my fingers know what to do. It’s just that they have a little less strength than they used to, and I have to adapt in as much as certain fingers need to be taking over the job of another finger.”

And while Frampton may pick up on those little nuances, fans who come to hear him play can’t tell any difference at all. He’s still at the top of his game.

He’s grateful for the ability to keep playing the music he loves and thrilled to become a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame later this year.

“I’m honored to have been chosen to be inducted along with so many incredibly talented people who have gone before me,” he says. “We’re talking the Beatles, the Stones, and Elvis…It’s all pretty heady to think I’ll be inducted into the same place and have a plaque on the wall just like them.”

The ceremony to honor the new class will take place Oct. 19 at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland and stream live on Disney+ (Hulu the next day) with an airing on ABC at a later date. Ticket information for the show is forthcoming.

Five of the inductees landed on the ballot for the first time this year – Cher, Foreigner, Frampton, Kool & The Gang and Osbourne, who is already inducted as a member of Black Sabbath, which received its coronation in 2006.

Blige was previously nominated in 2021, A Tribe Called Quest  learned that the third time is the charm – following nods in 2022 and 2023 – and Dave Matthews Band, previously the only fan vote winners (in 2020) to not land on the final list won this year’s fan vote again and this time, was chosen for entry. The fan vote counts as one vote with the general voting body.

In December, Cher told Kelly Clarkson on her talk show that she feels the Rock Hall snubbed her for many years.

"You know what, I wouldn't be in it now if they gave me a million dollars," she told Clarkson . "I'm never going to change my mind."

Other 2024 nominees who weren't chosen for this year's induction include Lenny Kravitz , Mariah Carey, Sade and Oasis.

To be eligible, an individual artist or band must have released its first commercial recording at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination.

Melissa Ruggieri is among the more than 1,000 voting members – composed of artists, historians and members of the music industry – of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
