Few musicians have shaped rock and blues like Eric Clapton. As he celebrates his 80th birthday, we reflect on a career spanning six decades. One defined by innovation, emotion, and unparalleled musicianship.
From his early days electrifying the British blues scene with The Yardbirds and John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers to his groundbreaking work with Cream and Derek and the Dominos, Clapton has continually redefined guitar playing.
Songs like 'Layla', 'Tears in Heaven' and 'Wonderful Tonight' stand as timeless testaments to his artistry, blending raw emotion with technical brilliance. His influences—Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Freddie King—shaped his sound, but Clapton took it further, inspiring generations of musicians in return. His solo career cemented him as one of the greatest guitarists of all time, earning him the rare honour of being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame three times.
