Eric Clapton

At one time known to fans as ‘God’, Eric Clapton’s virtuoso guitar playing has always inspired reverence. The first guitarist to reach superstar status, his career sums up all that’s best in rock music. His incredible progress is here documented as never before – from the rough early days of The Yardbirds, through the heady excitement of Cream and its brilliant successors, to his present position as simply the most famous guitarist in the world.

This is a definitive biography that makes no attempt to gloss over backstage politics, inter-group squabbles or, even, heroin addiction. E.C. is here. Truthfully.
