Book description
Eric Clapton is far more than a rock star. Like Dylan and McCartney
he is an icon and a living legend. He has sold tens of millions of
records, played sell-out concerts all over the world and been central
to the significant musical developments of his era. His guitar playing
has seen him hailed as 'God'. Now for the first time, Eric tells the
story of his personal and professional journeys in this pungent, witty
and painfully honest autobiography.
These are the memoirs of a survivor, someone who has reached the
pinnacle of success, who has had it all, but whose demons have never
left him. Eric tells his story as it is, hiding nothing, with a
directness and searing honesty that will make this book one of the
most compelling memoirs of our time.
Eric Clapton was born in 1945. At the age of eighteen, he joined the
Yardbirds and in 1966, he formed Cream with Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce.
Blind Faith and Derek and the Dominos followed before Eric embarked on
his solo career which has spanned three decades to date. He has produced
dozens of bestselling albums selling tens of millions of copies. He is
married with three daughters and lives with his family in Surrey. He
also has another daughter, Ruth, by a previous relationship.
