Eric Clapton, the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, will return to St. Paul’s Grand Casino Arena Sept. 15.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday through Ticketmaster. Blues guitarist Jimmie Vaughan will open.

Clapton, who turns 81 at the end of March, began performing as a teenager. In 1963, he joined the Yardbirds, a British band that played Chicago-style blues. He left the group two years later, after their single “For Your Love” became a chart success. He then joined the power trio Cream, rock music’s first supergroup.

Cream only lasted 28 months, but sold more than 15 million albums and scored hits with “White Room,” “Sunshine of Your Love” and “Crossroads.” Clapton’s next group, Blind Faith, included Steve Winwood, with whom he shared the stage when he last played the X in June 2009.

After joining yet another band, Derek and the Dominos, Clapton embarked on a solo career that earned him 18 Grammy Awards and second place, behind Jimi Hendrix, on Rolling Stone’s list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time list. His many hits include “I Shot the Sheriff,” “Lay Down Sally,” “Forever Man,” “It’s in the Way That You Use It,” “Bad Love” and “Tears in Heaven.”

Clapton was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist and as a member of the Yardbirds and Cream. His St. Paul concert is one of just six he announced Monday.

“I’m not walking around the best, and I’m missing a few games for the (PWHL’s) Seattle Torrent,” Knight said on “CBS Mornings.”

“To be able to play through injury was definitely a mental sort of gymnastic challenge for myself and also physical, but we’ve got some amazing support staff that did their best to get me out there and perform at my best — as best as I could.”

Knight, playing at what she said was her final Olympics at 36, tied the final against Canada with just over two minutes left in regulation. Knight, teammate Kendall Coye Schofield and Canada’s Erin Ambrose were all put on long-term injured reserve by their respective PWHL teams upon returning for the resumption of the season.

Knight and U.S. men’s gold medal-winning players Jack and Quinn Hughes are set to appear on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Monday night. That is coming 48 hours since their memorable cameo alongside women’s golden goal scorer Megan Keller on “Saturday Night Live.”

Jack Hughes also scored to beat Canada in overtime, like Keller did three days earlier. The men’s gold medal is the country’s first since the 1980 “Miracle on Ice” in Lake Placid.

Jack with the New Jersey Devils and Quinn with the Minnesota Wild have returned to play games in the NHL. The Devils gave Jack a day off from practice ahead of their appearance with Knight on Fallon’s show, which is expected to be the final stop on the brothers’ whirlwind media tour since returning to North America.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Videos of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton answering questions about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were released Monday by a House committee investigating the late financier.

The recordings of the depositions, which spanned hours over two days last week, were expected to show how both Clintons distanced themselves from Epstein. Bill Clinton told the committee that he had ended his relationship with Epstein years before the financier entered a guilty plea in 2008 to soliciting prostitution from an underage girl.

Hillary Clinton said she never even recalled meeting Epstein.

Still, they faced hours of questioning under oath from lawmakers who are searching for accountability for anyone who was aware or ignored Epstein’s abuse of underage girls.
