Peter Frampton

Across the following decades, Frampton continued recording and collaborating widely even as trends shifted. He toured with the likes of David Bowie, Stevie Nicks, Greg Allman, Ringo Starr, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Cheap Trick, Steve Miller Band, and Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings, and additionally took Peter Frampton's Guitar Circus on the road for two years with special guests including B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Vince Gill, Larry Carlton, and Robert Cray. In 2000, Peter was the technical advisor for Cameron Crowe's Oscar-winning movie Almost Famous, writing much of the soundtrack music and appearing in the film as Humble Pie's road manager. His instrumental work later earned major industry recognition: in 2007 he won the Grammy Award for "Best Pop Instrumental Album" for Fingerprints, and in 2014 was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame. In 2019, Frampton revealed a serious health battle that reshaped the remainder of his touring career. He announced his farewell tour as he battled inclusion body myositis (IBM), an inflammatory disease causing his muscles to weaken, having been diagnosed almost four years earlier. Despite his diagnosis, Frampton refused to fully step away from performing. Because of the uncertain prognosis for the disease and its impact on his ability to perform, Frampton embarked on the "Finale: The Farewell" Tour in 2019, followed by 2023's "Never Say Never" Tour and a subsequent "Never EVER Say Never" Tour. His songwriting endured as well, with his first all-new album of original material in 16 years, Carry the Light, co-written and co-produced by his son Julian and featuring guest appearances from Graham Nash, Sheryl Crow, Tom Morello, and others. The industry ultimately recognized his full legacy in 2024. Frampton joined the prestigious Rock & Roll Hall of Fame after 26 years of eligibility as a solo artist, with The Who's Roger Daltrey inducting him, Keith Urban joining for a performance of "Do You Feel Like We Do?" and Frampton playing "Baby (Somethin's Happening)" at the ceremony. He continued touring into 2025, still connecting with audiences worldwide decades after his commercial peak.
