Clapton won’t be rocking Moscow’s Red Square

Rock icon Eric Clapton announced on his website that his planned Moscow concert has been canceled after Russian officials withdrew a permit for the singer to hold the event in the city’s legendary Red Square.Clapton was expected to hold the concert in front of more than 20,000 Russian fans as part of the European leg of his current world tour.

"Eric Clapton is extremely sorry to disappoint his numerous Russian fans but the circumstances of the cancellation are completely beyond his control," the singer said in the statement on the website.The performer was the second “rock icon” to cancel a Russian gig this year following the Stones cancellation of a planned St. Petersburg show in June. That concert had been called off due to Keith Richards accident in Fiji.
