Eric Clapton Bücher

Eric Clapton ist eine Legende und gilt als einer der besten Gitarristen der Welt. Seit den 60er-Jahren prägt er die Musikgeschichte, war jedoch bekannt für seine Verschlossenheit. In seinem Buch gewährt er erstmals Einblicke in sein Privatleben. Mit Bands wie The Yardbirds, Bluebreakers und Cream erlangte er Ruhm. Der Satz „Clapton is God“ prägte die 60er-Jahre in London und New York. Er spielte mit Größen wie den Beatles und den Rolling Stones und verliebte sich unsterblich in Patti Boyd, die Frau von George Harrison. Seine berühmte Ballade „Layla“ ist ihr gewidmet. Nach Jahren des Werbens heiraten sie 1977, doch die Ehe ist unglücklich. Nach einem Heroinentzug kämpft Clapton mit Alkohol, was ihm mehrmals fast das Leben kostet. In den 80ern scheint er einen Neuanfang zu finden, als er mit Lori del Santo einen Sohn bekommt. Tragischerweise stirbt der vierjährige Conor, was Clapton in „Tears in Heaven“ verarbeitet. In den letzten Jahren arbeitet er als Solokünstler mit Größen wie Carlos Santana und B. B. King zusammen, tourt um die Welt und bleibt unbestritten die Nummer 1 unter den Gitarristen. Mit trockenem Humor und großer Aufrichtigkeit erzählt Clapton von den Höhen und Tiefen seines Lebens, von seiner Kindheit bis heute. Eine beeindruckende Lebensgeschichte.
