One of the most admired blues and rock guitarists of the time, Eric Clapton - dubbed the "greatest living guitarist" - has given the world an incredible body of music, memorable riffs and some of the best live performances ever seen. Yet despite having sold more than 80 million albums worldwide, Clapton is humble and asserts he is "only messenger". During his career Clapton has lived through the many stages of rock; first as the reluctant hero, then as talented singer-songwriter and finally as the confident performer in change of his instrument and his destiny. He is the man who has kept the blues alive for more than five decades. Written by a leading music journalist and illustrated throughout with rarely published photographs, "Eric Clapton" gives you unlimited access to the career of the legendary guitarist. Featuring the reproductions of over 20 items of memorabilia printed on the page, including a hand-drawn flyer, a Yardbirds business card, a personal invitation and an autographed photograph, "Eric Clapton" celebrates the life and music of this authentic musical genius.
