How Eric Clapton Convinced George Harrison to Come on Tour With Him in 1991

Eric Clapton had to be very persuasive when asking his long-time friend and collaborator, George Harrison, to join him on his 1991 Japanese tour.

George was not the biggest fan of touring. As a Beatle, he was dragged around the world multiple times through the height of Beatlemania. Touring destroyed George’s nerves. He often felt mentally and physically unsafe, paranoid, and nervous. Thankfully, the band stopped touring in 1966.

Bravely, though, George embarked on his first and only solo American tour in 1974. That was no better. So, George didn’t have a good track record for performing. Clapton’s argument had to be strong.
