Eric Clapton has cancelled a series of upcoming shows due to severe back pain. Those shows include dates in Vienna, Austria and Stuttgart, Germany. He is currently with specialists who will be able to better determine the course of treatment.

Clapton’s team explains, “He was looking forward to these concerts and regrets that he is not to be able to perform for the fans. He would like to apologize for any inconveniences these cancellations may cause and would like to thank the fans for their understanding. All tickets can be returned to the Box Offices for refund.”
