Musician Eric Clapton helped raise money at a fundraiser for fellow vaccine critic Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s 2024 campaign for the Democratic presidential primary ticket on Monday.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer entertained Kennedy and donors at a private home in Los Angeles’ posh Brentwood neighborhood where tickets began at $3,300 and went up to $6,600 for some face time with Kennedy, according to TMZ.
After the event, RFK Jr.’s campaign said it had raised a combined $2.2 million for the Democratic long shot’s campaign and its independent PAC.
Kennedy, the son of assassinated presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Sr., celebrated Clapton as a figure of unity at the backyard concert.
In a statement on his website, he thanked The Yardbirds rocker “for bringing his musical artistry and rebellious spirit to my gathering.”

Though neither Kennedy’s call for bipartisanship nor Clapton’s performance mentioned vaccines, both men are outspoken critics of coronavirus shots.
Clapton complained about suffering “disastrous” but temporary side effects from the AstraZeneca COVID vaccine in 2021, and he railed against vaccine requirements when in-person gatherings began returning later that summer.
