See Trailer For New PETER FRAMPTON Documentary 'Frampton'

A trailer for the upcoming Peter Frampton documentary "Frampton" is available below. The two-and-a-half-minute clip includes archival photos and video, as well as interview footage with Sheryl Crow, Ringo Starr, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE's Tom Morello, director Cameron Crowe, Alice Cooper, STYX's Tommy Shaw, HEART's Nancy Wilson, THE WHO's Roger Daltrey and more.

From the explosive heights of "Frampton Comes Alive!" to the quiet introspection of his final tour, "Frampton" is an intimate portrait of a rock icon who soared, stumbled, and rose again.

This feature documentary traces Peter Frampton's extraordinary life and career — from his meteoric rise in the 1970s that made him a global sensation, through the turbulent years that tested his artistry, identity, and resilience.

As the roar of stadium crowds faded, Frampton faced the daunting task of rebuilding — reinventing his sound and rediscovering his purpose across solo projects, collaborations, and relentless touring. Behind the stage lights, personal sacrifices and fractured family ties reveal the cost of fame that few ever see.

Now, diagnosed with Inclusion Body Myositis, a degenerative muscle condition threatening his ability to play guitar, Frampton stands at a profound crossroads. "Frampton" captures the soulful poignancy of an artist confronting both the passage of time and his own physical limits, determined to make every performance count.

Directed by Frampton's own longtime bandleader Rob Arthur, the film allows the British musician to recount, in his own words, how he first came to prominence in the bands THE HERD and HUMBLE PIE before becoming a solo artist and experiencing a meteoric rise to selling out stadium shows in 1976.

Mixing archival footage with interviews and performance from Frampton's latest tour, this documentary shows not only where the musician has been but where he is and hopes to go, charting out all the trials and victories along the way. Filled with stories of (and interviews with) many of his fellow musicians of the era, this picture stands as a testament to some of the perils that come with fame and value lying in the making of music and bonds through the years.

"Frampton" will premiere on Thursday, June 4 at the Tribeca Festival in New York City.
