Peter Frampton performs at the Concord Pavilion in Concord, California on Oct. 12, 2019.

Iconic guitarist Peter Frampton, who retired from performing live in 2019 due to a debilitating medical condition, has announced a return summer tour that includes a date at the Masonic in San Francisco on Aug. 15.

The Never Say Never Tour will kick off in June. Tickets go on sale on Friday, April 14 at his website.

Frampton’s last tour show was at the Concord Pavilion in October 2019. After that, he retired due to his inclusion-body mitosis diagnosis. It’s a progressive muscle disorder causing inflammation, weakness and atrophy. Among the symptoms are weakness in the wrists and fingers, as well as the front of the thigh and the muscles that lift the foot. In 2021, he released an instrumental album, Frampton Forgets the Words, featuring some of his best-known songs. In 2022, he performed a one-off show at London’s Royal Albert Hall which was filmed and is currently airing on PBS.

“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 news releasing announcing the new tour. “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.”

There will be a Citi cardmember presale that will run from 10 a.m. local time time on April 12 to 10 p.m. on April 13, as long as tickets remain available. Visit the Citi Entertainment website for more information.
