No matter how difficult his health becomes his music is like breathing he cant stop..he'll play with his last breath...his heart cant beat without it...

IT'S INTERESTING THAT WHEN A CELEBRITY HAS DRUG/ALCOHOL ADDICTION ISSUES....it is often acknowledged that that it is often a result of understandable emotional struggles and personal stress due to job/career. That same understanding is rarely extended to the average person who deals with the same issues.

Tremendous. I have loved all of his music throughout the decades. Thank you Eric Clapton.

[MaryAnnPears-guwe]

I love Eric Clapton and of course his Music. He has endured and overcome more issues than the average person. I finally saw him in 1998 in concert. He was awesome. The best concert I've ever been to. And I've been to a lot of them, thank you Eric for your music and just being you.❤

[HansTyndale]

It isn't a shock about Eric because he's getting up there in age and that's how it is. I'm just glad he was with us as long as he was and didn't die an early death like so many other musicians that went down that road.

Did not mention the profound sadness Eric felt when Jeff Beck unexpectedly died. A great friend of his since the mid 1960’s and at times rivals which made there relationship complicated; however, they shared the stage with one another from time to time for 6 decades and did a World Tour together in 2010. Eric arranged a tribute concert for Jeff and also released a single of him and Jeff playing “Moon River”. The cover was a picture of Eric and Jeff walking in a snow covered field with one of Jeff’s dogs.

The title is deceiving. Yes, Eric went through stuff. We all do. He created his own hell with alcohol and drugs and came out better for it. I discovered him when I was 14, dealing or not dealing well with the loss of my father. I have been a fan for 55 years. He freed himself of alcohol and drugs by the late 80s, found love in the early 2000s, and has four beautiful daughters and a wonderful wife. He has had a few health issues of course. His playing and singing are better than ever. I've seen him in concert twice in the last year and 28 times total. He continues to support and promote up and coming artists with his Crossroads guitar festivals that also raise money to support his Crossroads rehabilitation center that treats the poor for free. He has shown generosity and kindness towards fellow musicians who have fallen on hard times. He has donated and supported many good causes without making a public display. If I were to guess I'd say he's a happy man and deserves to be.

Loved this look into Clapton’s life. What a great talent. Thanks.

Shame you didn't share about his Crossroads drug rehab centre and the annual Crossroads rock and blues concerts which raise millions to support others with addictions. He deserves credit for his ability and desire to help others who struggle with similar issues that he and so many of his peers also struggled with.

So glad he managed to be born, with his amazing talents. And that his grandparents gave him that first guitar.

[JettRink]

Despite his many problems, Eric, along with Jimi, Bird and Trane, he has lifted me out of my own despair more times than I can count. I love man, a magnificent musician, but I love him mostly because he is a flawed human, like most of us, yet has somehow channeled his frailties into great art! Long live Slowhand!

[lacipecsenye]

I cannot forget what B.B. King said about Eric Clapton at one of the Crossroads festivals. " I met with kings and queens but never saw a better person than E.C." Wow.

[JohnGauld]

Yes, issues of early innocent abandonment and childhood confusion. Me too. It pushes us to a new love that is only yours and will never let you down. Music, though it can be a lonely path. But it’s important too.

[angekriekenbeek]

Great video, but sad. Poor Eric certainly had a lot of setbacks and struggles in his life. Yet he was. strong willed and persistent with continuing his love for music 🎵🎶🎶🎶

[david-ggsk]

Clapton has a way of reminiscing his life and therefore remain buoyant in spirit.

[ruthmoon]

I love to hear Eric Clapton sing and play his guitar it's beautiful
