Eric Clapton – The Autobiography

• 13th Apr 2007

Blues guitar legend, Eric Clapton, has written an autobiography.

For the first time, the legendary musician who defined rock in the 1960’s and continues to astonish and delight, tells the story of his personal and professional journeys in this itty and painfully honest autobiography.

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 60, Eric is cured of alcoholism and is in a long term relationship with three young daughters. He is now ready to tell his story. He hides nothing, and writes with a directness and searing honesty that will make this book one of the most compelling memoirs of our time.

Since he first started playing and composing in the 1960s, Eric Clapton has sold tens of millions of records and played sell-out concerts around the world. He is, with only a handful of peers – Bob Dylan, Keith Richards, Paul McCartney and Pete Townsend – more than a rock star and more than a survivor. He is an icon – a living legend.
