Synopsis:
Published to coincide with his 60th Birthday, this book is an intimate 
and revealing portrait of Eric Clapton. Illustrated throughout with 
rarely seen photographs, and containing candid contributions from 
Clapton himself, plus recollections from friends such as Keith Richards, 
Chris Dreja and Jim Carty of the Yardbirds, BB King and John Lee Hooker, 
it traces his often troubled journey from childhood through to icon and 
elder statesman of rock. Clapton has had an unsettled personal life - he 
was brought up thinking his true mother was his sister, he has battled 
drug and alcohol addiction, his relationship history has been rocky and 
he suffered the devastating loss of his four-year-old son in a tragic 
accident. In this book Clapton confronts the demons that haunt his past, 
and also talks candidly about where he feels he is today, about recent 
recordings, about his current place in popular culture. We'll see Eric 
as a child, starting in the business, with The Yardbirds then Cream, 
splitting, forming Blind Faith, spiralling into addiction, cleaning up, 
and going to work on a farm. This highly personal account contains new 
material never before published, and offers an unprecedented insight 
into the life of one of the world's greatest living legends.
