Frampton – Watch the trailer for the new Peter Frampton documentary

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.

Through rare archival footage, candid interviews, and electrifying concert moments, this documentary explores the spirit of a musician who defined an era, lost everything, and fought his way back — only to discover that his greatest encore might not be on stage, but in the time he’s reclaiming with the people he loves most.

“Frampton” is a stirring celebration of artistry, endurance, and the enduring power of music to outlast even the hands that play it.

Frampton premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival on 4th June 2026.
