    Eric Clapton. Autobiografia - Búrlivý život hudobnej legendy
    • Ikona hudobnej scény Eric Clapton v dojí¬mavom životopise otvorene a úprimne rozpráva o svojom dobrodružnom a inšpi¬ratívnom živote a po prvý raz mapuje svoju profesionálnu kariéru. Eric Clapton sa narodil v roku 1945 ako nemanželské dieťa. Vychovávali ho starí rodičia. Eric nevedel, kto je jeho otcom, a až ako deväťročný sa dozvedel, že žena, ktorú dosiaľ pokladal za sestru, je jeho matka. V puberte mu bola útechou gitara a vďaka mimoriadnemu talentu sa stal kultovou postavou britských klubov. Podieľal sa na vzniku formácie Cream a po jej vyhlásení za „superskupinu“ sa stal celosvetovo uznávanou hudobnou hviezdou. Po dvoch rokoch sa kapela pre konfliktné egá svojich členov rozpadla. Koncom šesťdesiatych rokov si ako hosť zahral s Jimim Hendrixom, Bobom Dylanom, ale aj s Beatles, Rolling Stones a s dlhoročným priateľom Georgom Harrisonom. Práve v čase spolupráce s Georgom sa Clapton zaľúbil do jeho manželky Pattie Boydovej. Táto zdanlivo neopätovaná láska ho uvrhla do hlbokého zúfalstva, dobrovoľnej izolácie a časom prepadol drogám. Začiatkom sedemdesiatych rokov sa mu podarilo závislosť prekonať a zároveň vydal mimoriadne úspešný album 461 Ocean Boulevard s ohromným hitom I Shot the Sheriff. Po ňom nasledoval platinový album Slowhand s dojemnou srdcovkou Wonderful Tonight, tú zložil pre Pattie, s ktorou sa napokon koncom roka 1979 oženil. No netrvalo dlho a Eric vymenil heroín za alkohol, čo uškodilo nielen jeho hudbe, ale prispelo aj k definitívnemu rozpadu manželstva. V osemdesiatych rokoch sa vzchopil, postupne sa zotavil z alkoholizmu a stal sa otcom. No zakrátko mu život uštedril ďalší úder – pri nehode prišiel o život jeho štvorročný syn Conor. Keby sa to stalo v inom období, asi by sa vrátil k drogám. V tom čase však už bol omnoho silnejší, hľadal útechu v hudbe a zložil bolestne nádhernú pieseň Tears in Heaven.
