Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health


The King of Electric Guitar this week, Eric Clapton, announced to the news media that he is just about completely deaf from severe tinnitus and is suffering nerve damage to his hands that will in just a matter of time compromise his ability to play. When Clapton goes it will be the end of the Rock era as we know it.

Years ago, B.B.King was asked at a press conference who he thought was the greatest rock guitarist of all time, he replied,
"My personal opinion?..."Eric Clapton is the greatest rock and roll guitar player of all time." 1986

The very first album I ever bought (back in the 70’s) was Derek and the Dominos “Live in Concert”. I played that on my Philips GA-212 turntable from Tech-Hifi and that kicked off the next post-AM radio phase of audiophilia that has lasted a LONG time.

From OP:

“…and is suffering nerve damage to his hands that will in just a matter of time compromise his ability to play.”

Not doubting what EC is stating. But this reminds me of Peter Frampton made a similar public announcement. Yet I think he is still playing publicly? Yes? No?
