Frampton was on Q (Canadian public radio show) last night pushing a book (I think). I just caught the end of it, but he was talking about David Bowie (or maybe Prince) hiring him to play in their band saved him from depression and drugs.

I was never big on Frampton, so didn't know too much about his life and career, but wikipedia is such a marvelous source for a quick bio read. Lots of interesting stuff, among which is that he retired because of a physical condition which he apparantly suffers from in this video - but he looks so happy, doesn't he? - as do they all, including Little Feat's Billy Payne on keyboards.
"On 22 February 2019, Frampton announced he will be retiring from touring with his 'Peter Frampton Finale—The Farewell Tour' commencing on 18 June 2019 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, running through 12 October ending in Concord, California. He also revealed the reason for the farewell tour; he's received a diagnosis that he has inclusion body myositis (IBM), a progressive muscle disorder characterized by muscle inflammation, weakness, and atrophy (wasting).[50] A dollar of every ticket sold for the tour is donated to benefit Frampton's newly established myositis research fund at Johns Hopkins, where he’s being treated.[51] "
