IT has been said that in order to play the blues, you have to live the blues and Eric Clapton has done precisely that. From failed marriages, drug and alcohol addiction, death and tragedy, he has risen like a phoenix from the ashes and continues to inspire fans with his iconic riffs and indomitable spirit in the face of adversity.
The global superstar came from humble beginnings. Eric Patrick Clapton was born on March 30, 1945, in his grandparents’ home in Ripley, Surrey, England.
