From the best-selling author of Shout! and the definitive lives of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Buddy Holly and Mick Jagger, comes a new biography of Eric Clapton.

For half a century Eric Clapton has been acknowledged to be one of rock music's greatest virtuosos, the unrivalled master of its indispensable tool, the solid-body electric guitar. His career has spanned the history of rock, and often shaped it via the seminal bands with whom he's played: the Yardbirds, John Mavall's Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominoes.
