Peter Frampton Announces Farewell Tour, Reveals Muscle Disease Diagnosis

Peter Frampton has sat down for new interviews with “CBS This Morning” and Rolling Stone, during which he revealed that he has been diagnosed with Inclusion-Body Myositis (IBM), a rare degenerative muscle disease. The diagnosis came three-and-a-half years ago; Frampton expects the muscle problems will eventually progress into his fingers, affecting his ability to record and perform. As such, he’s announced a farewell tour spanning North America, kicking off June 18 with a show at the Joint in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Find the full list of dates here.

Speaking to RS, Frampton revealed that he’s recorded a new double album, set to be released around the time the tour begins. He also teased “another single album that we’re finishing off tracking next week and then after, if I can muster it, we’re going to do yet another project.“ One dollar from every ticket sold on the upcoming tour will go to the Peter Frampton Myositis Research Fund, a new fund established with Johns Hopkins University.

1. So sorry to learn of this. Saw him a few years ago.

He was as good as ever and I SO enjoyed the show.

2. myositis sucks.

My only advice, keep ingesting cannabis. It's helped me so much and I've had dermatomyositis diagnosed now for 7 years. I still monitor myself and take a couple of meds, but the cannabis helps with the inflammation and muscle spasm and pain.

So yes, we (or I) feel like you do. And thanks for the research fund.
