5.2
In January 2026 Snopes debunks a viral social-media claim that Eric Clapton stopped a Sept. 23, 1992 concert in Birmingham to bring a 16-year-old deaf fan, Sarah Mitchell, onstage and play for her. Investigators found tour dates, venue records, and Clapton's autobiography contradict the timeline, and detected likely AI-generated images and text; the story appears fabricated to drive clicks and ad revenue.
