Only days after Eric Clapton unveiled plans for several upcoming joint performances with fellow British rock guitarist Jeff Beck, he has now announced that in 2010 he will being teaming up with Roger Daltrey, another fellow rock legend from The Who, for a solo tour.

After Clapton finishes off his four city stint with Beck in mid February, he will be setting out on his solo tour beginning in Pittsburgh on February 25. Clapton is currently scheduled to perform in almost one dozen Southern, Midwestern and Eastern cities through mid March. Each night Daltrey will be opening the show.

Backup musicians for Clapton on stage will include Steve Gadd, drummer, Willie Weeks, bassist, Walt Richmond and Chris Stainton, keyboardists, and Sharon White and Michelle John as the background vocalists.

The solo outing of Clapton’s with Daltrey will all be based in the U.S. His outings with Beck will take Clapton to London, England as well as Montreal and Toronto in Canada. The pairing o f Clapton and Beck follows the joint performance earlier this year that they gave at a show at Saitama Super Arena in Tokyo. It was the first ever that the two had co-headlined together.

Clapton earlier in the year toured with Steve Winwood, another rock legend and former band mate with Blind Faith.

The latest album for Clapton, “The Road to Escondido” (2006) paired him with J.J. Cale, his hero, who wrote two of the songs that have helped to define the solo career of Clapton’s: “After Midnight” and “Cocaine.”
