Frampton to give concert, take US Citizenship
ASSOCIATED PRESS
--The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks have prompted Peter Frampton, now a resident
of suburban Cincinnati, to sponsor a benefit concert. The 51-year-old singer
will headline the 'Cincinnati USA for Relief' concert on Dec. 9 at the Taft
Theatre. Frampton, a native of England, also said he intends to become a U.S.
citizen. "Because of what's happened, everyone feels a little more American
since Sept. 11," he said. "I've got the forms to start the process to become
an American citizen. I will become one as soon as I can." Frampton's hits
include 1976's 'Frampton Comes Alive!' He began his musical career with the
British rock band Humble Pie in the late 1960s. Married to Tina Elfers of
suburban Cincinnati, he's spent most of his time in the United States in
recent
years. "I know we won't raise as much money as some of those other
concerts,"
Frampton said. "That's not the idea. It's just to get together as many people
who have ties in Cincinnati and want to come and help."
