Editing Peter Frampton (section)

=== Return ===
Although his albums generally met with little commercial success, Frampton continued to record throughout the 1980s. He achieved a brief, moderate comeback of sorts in 1986 with the release of his ''[[Premonition (Peter Frampton album)|Premonition]]'' album, and the single "Lying", which became a hit on [[Mainstream Rock]] chart. Most notably, he also united with old friend David Bowie, and both worked together to make albums. Frampton played on Bowie's 1987 album ''[[Never Let Me Down]]'' and sang and played on the accompanying [[Glass Spider Tour]].<ref name="AllMusic-Bio" /><ref name="TCE-2001-02-04" /><ref name="80s" /> In 2013, he credited his participation in this tour for helping revive his career.<ref name="AM13">{{Citation | title=David Bowie Helped Revive Peter Frampton | url=http://www.antimusic.com/news/13/January/03David_Bowie_Helped_Revive_Peter_Frampton.shtml | access-date=3 January 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130105231807/http://www.antimusic.com/news/13/January/03David_Bowie_Helped_Revive_Peter_Frampton.shtml | archive-date=5 January 2013 | url-status=live }}</ref>

Looking for the band experience again after touring with Bowie, Frampton kept referencing Steve Marriott, and at the beginning of 1991 rejoined his old Humble Pie mate for some shows (Marriott's last English gigs) at the Half Moon in Putney, London. The chemistry was still there for a while, as both Frampton and Marriott laid down some tracks in L.A. and prepared to do a "Frampton-Marriott" tour. Marriott abruptly returned to England in April and he died in a house fire less than 24 hours after his return. Broken up by Marriott's death, Frampton went off the road for a time, then reformed his old touring band with his old friends Bob Mayo and John Regan. At least three songs, and possibly a fourth, from the ended Marriott-Frampton partnership were subsequently recorded; two ending up on Frampton's "Shine On" compilation, a third on his subsequent solo album.

In the late 1990s, Frampton starred in an [[infomercial]] plugging the eMedia Guitar Method, a piece of instructional software represented as an alternative to taking actual guitar lessons. He claimed in the infomercial that the software was the best way to learn guitar.<ref name=90s>{{cite web |url=http://www.frampton.com/90.html |title=Peter Frampton History – '90s |website=Frampton.com |access-date=11 March 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140417143914/http://www.frampton.com/90.html |archive-date=17 April 2014 }}</ref>

In 1994, Frampton wrote and released the album ''[[Peter Frampton (album)|Peter Frampton]]'', the final version of which contained material recorded on Tascam cassette recorders. Originally released on the Relativity label, this record was re-released in 2000 by Legacy Records, with four bonus tracks and additional notes by Frampton.

In 1995, Frampton released ''[[Frampton Comes Alive! II]]'', which contained live versions of many of the songs from his 1980s and 1990s solo albums. ''Frampton Comes Alive! II'' was recorded at [[The Fillmore]] Theater on 15 June 1995. Although there was a large amount of marketing for the album, it did not sell well.<ref name=90s /> After ''Frampton Comes Alive! II'', he recorded and toured with [[Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings]] and [[Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band]],<ref name=AllMusic-Bio /> where he and [[Jack Bruce]] performed a cover version of [[Cream (band)|Cream]]'s "[[Sunshine of Your Love]]".

In 2003, Frampton released the album ''[[Now (Peter Frampton album)|Now]]'', and embarked on a tour with [[Styx (band)|Styx]] to support it. It was on this tour in 2004 he lost good friend and long time bandmate [[Bob Mayo]]. He also toured with [[The Elms (band)|the Elms]], and appeared in 2006 on the [[Fox Broadcasting|Fox]] variety show ''[[Celebrity Duets]]'', paired with [[Chris Jericho]] of [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] fame.

On 12 September 2006, Frampton released an instrumental work titled ''Fingerprints''. His band consisted of drummer Shawn Fichter, guitarist [[Audley Freed]], bassist [[John Regan (bassist)|John Regan]] (Frampton's lifelong best friend,<ref name=CNN-Phillips />), and keyboardist-guitarist Rob Arthur, and guest artists such as members of [[Pearl Jam]], [[Hank Marvin]], [[Warren Haynes]] and his bassist on ''[[Frampton Comes Alive!]]'', [[Stanley Sheldon]] – the only member of the backing band on that album still alive.
