Eric Clapton is a British blues-rock guitarist, composer, singer, and songwriter. He was ranked at #53 on Rolling Stone's Top 100 Artists Of All-Time.

 

At the age of 17, he joined his first band called "The Roosters". In 1966 Clapton formed the band "Cream" which would eventually be hailed as one of the greatest rock groups of its day.

 

Clapton is the only person to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times. Two of his most successful recordings were "Layla" and the song "Crossroads".

 

In 1979, Clapton married Patti Boyd. The two would remain married through his affair with Yvonne Kelly in 1984, with whom he had a daughter in 1985. They did not get divorced until 1988, after his second affair with Italian model Lory Del Santo who gave birth to their son Conor in 1986. Conor was tragically killed after falling out of a friend's 53rd apartment story window onto an adjacent roof when he was 4 years old. Clapton told this tragic story in the song "Tears In Heaven."
