His skills grew and also his career life brightened as he became a successful child singer and in 1966 he became a member of The Herd. In The Herd, he was the lead guitarist and singer having several of their songs becoming British pop hits. According to the teen magazine called the Rave, he was named “The Face of 1968”.

Peter Frampton Guitar

In 2011 Peter Frampton joined the Gibson electric guitar he played on “Frampton Comes Alive,” three decades after it was presumed destroyed in a plane crash. He was presumed to have been burnt in November 1980 when a cargo plane crashed on takeoff in Caracas, Venezuela, on its way to Panama, where Mr. Frampton was to perform.

Someone plucked it from the burning wreckage and later sold it to a musician on the Dutch Caribbean island of Curaçao. The guitar was returned to him in December 2011 after a two-year negotiation involving the local musician who had the guitar, a customs agent who repairs guitars in his spare time, a diehard Frampton fan in the Netherlands and the head of the island’s tourist board.
