Eric Clapton Trivia
|
- Played guitar along with original 'Bond' guitarist Vic Flick on Michael Kamen's theme for _Licence To Kill (1989)_ . The duo were filmed 'playing' in various London locations for the expected video. However, the producers decided to opt for a song, sung by Gladys Knight, and the Clapton/Flick instrumental has never been released.
- Son, Conor, (b. 21 August 1986), mother is Lory Del Santo. Clapton was still married to Pattie Boyd at that time.
- Played the guitar solo on Beatle George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" creating a precedent. No other outside musician had ever had such a privilege.
- Clapton is the only artist to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times: as a member of The Yardbirds (1992); as a member of Cream (1993); and as a solo performer (2000).
- His current backing band involves people like guitarist Andy Fairweather-Low (ex-Amen Corner) and bassist Nathan East (Fourplay).
