Eric Clapton

Fülszöveg

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'. Tracks such as Layla,
Sunshine Of Your Love, Wonderful Tonight and Tears In Heaven
have become anthems for generations of music fans. Now for the
first time, Eric tells the story of his personal and professional
journeys in this pungent, witty and painfully honest autobiography.
Eric was born illegitimate in 1945 and raised by his grandparents.
He never knew his father and until the age of nine believed his
absentee mother to be his sister. In his teens his solace was the
guitar and he soon became a cult hero in the club circuits of
Britain. With the foundation of the world's first super group, Cream,
in 1966 he became a world superstar.

ERIC CLAPTON is far more than a rock star. Like Dylan and

journeys in this pungent, witty and painfully honest autobiography.
Eric was born illegitimate in 1945 and raised by his grandparents.
He never knew his father and until the age of nine believed his
absentee mother to be his sister. In his teens his solace was the
guitar and he soon became a cult hero in the club circuits of
Britain. With the foundation of the world's first super group, Cream,
in 1966 he became a world superstar.
But the rock star lifestyle has had a darker side. In more than forty
years at the forefront of his profession he has twice survived near
fatal addictions to drugs and alcohol, the death of his four-year-old
son, the deaths of friends such as Jimi Hendrix and John Lennon,
the break-up of marriage and the disintegration of relationships with
a succession of beautiful women.
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. At the age of 62, Eric is now ready to tell
his story as it is, hiding nothing, with a directness and searing
honesty that makes this book one of the most compelling memoirs
of our time. Vissza
