Born illegitimate in 1945 and raised by his grandparents, Eric Clapton never knew his father and, until the age of nine, believed his mother to be his sister. In his early teens, the guitar became his refuge-and his incredible talent soon made him a cult hero across Britain, inspiring fans to scrawl "Clapton is God" on London walls. With the formation of Cream, rock's first supergroup, Clapton became a global icon. His short-lived but legendary work with Blind Faith, Delaney and Bonnie and Friends, and Derek and the Dominos produced some of the most enduring songs in history, including the timeless classic "Layla." Throughout the decades, Clapton collaborated with music legends such as Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and George Harrison-with his unrequited love for Harrison's wife, Pattie Boyd, inspiring some of his most haunting music.
