Even worse - he became a spokesperson for GEICO!
I saw him last night in AZ, 8/15/14. He still has it all, voice, guitar solos of the gods, great band, rock, hard rock, awesome show.
Obligatory link to story about him recovering his Excalibur ;), the 3-pickup black Custom (IIRC, actually a '54 routed out for 3 pickups).
Hopefully this isn’t behind a paywall: Peter Frampton Reunited With 'Best Guitar' After 31 Years - The New York Times
ETA: Oh, by the way, he’s a great guitar player.
Pointing out on his current tour he’s accompanied by Buddy Guy and B.B. King. They’re hitting Tucson later this month.
Seems like a decent kind of guy also, not at all like some of the aging rock clowns.
He became an American citizen after the 911 episode.
Wasn’t he on the Simpsons, where he demanded Homer’s resignation on his desk? Homer: “You have a desk?” To which Frampton indicated the hood of his car.
Peter had Don Felder along for the RNR Circus last year. They played some great versions of *Pride and Joy *and Hotel California.

Damn, Greg Ridley was a damned tasty bass player.
