For the first time, music legend Eric Clapton shares the story of his tumultuous life, from his restless childhood in post-war England to the present day. Uncharacteristically candid, he allows us to partake in the great successes and numerous tragedies of his life: his struggles with alcohol and drug addiction, the tragically failed marriage to his great love Patti, and the death of his son. With dry humor and great sincerity, he recounts his search for identity as both a musician and a person: one of the most poignant life stories of our time.
