=== 2007 to present === On 11 February 2007, ''Fingerprints'' was awarded the 2007 [[Grammy Award]] for Best Pop Instrumental Album. In February 2007, he also appeared on the Chicago-based PBS television show ''[[Soundstage (TV series)|Soundstage]]''. Frampton released his 14th studio album, ''[[Thank You Mr. Churchill]]'', on 27 April 2010.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://bulletin.aarp.org/states/sd/2009/32/articles/singer_guitarist_peter_frampton_still_busy_ever.html |title=Daily News – Articles & Info on Health, Money, Social Security, Medicare, Politics – Bulletin Today |website=Bulletin.aarp.org |date=7 March 1965 |access-date=8 March 2012 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120713102012/http://bulletin.aarp.org/states/sd/2009/32/articles/singer_guitarist_peter_frampton_still_busy_ever.html |archive-date=13 July 2012 |url-status=live }}</ref> In summer 2010 he began touring North America with the English band [[Yes (band)|Yes]]; the two acts had played stadium shows on a bill together in 1976. His 2010 band consisted of Rob Arthur (keyboards, guitar, backing vocals), John Regan (bass), Adam Lester (guitar), and Dan Wojciechowski (drums). Frampton embarked on a UK tour in March 2011 in support of his new album, visiting Leamington Spa, Glasgow, Manchester, London and Bristol. [[File:Peter Frampton at the 2011 Ottawa Bluesfest.jpg|thumb|Peter Frampton at [[Ottawa Bluesfest]] in 2011]] Frampton went on tour in 2011 with The Frampton Comes Alive 35th Anniversary Tour that showcased and followed exactly the songs on the setlist for the original tour from 1976, recorded for ''Frampton Comes Alive!'' The concerts each night started with the prerecorded thump of a microphone being turned on, familiar to many fans of the album, followed by the recorded voice of Jerry Pompili saying, "If there was ever a musician that was an honorary member of San Francisco society, Mr. Peter Frampton ...", and then the crowd goes wild. He played the album song-for-song at 69 locations between 15 June 2011 and 22 October 2011 throughout the US. On 11 June 2011, Frampton performed a live set for "[[Guitar Center]] Sessions" on [[DirecTV]].
