Anytime you get into discussions about the greatest musicians of the 20th century, Eric Clapton's name will definitely come up once or twice. The guy has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame not once, not twice, but three whole times and his songs are some of the most recognized pieces in history, from the raging energy of Layla to the heartfelt mourning of Tears in Heaven. The sad truth is that great art often comes at a heavy sad price. From childhood on, and into the present day, this legendary English musician has gone through an unusual amount of pain, heartbreak and tragedy in his life, from deaths to romantic woes to addictions, all of which he funneled into music that the world now recites by heart, Here's the true tragic story of Eric Clapton. In his early years, the boy who would become one of the biggest celebrities in the world had no idea that his family situation was particularly abnormal, He had two kinda old parents, and an older sister named Patricia. It was only as a preteen that his entire world was rocked sideways, according to the Independent, when the family revealed to him that his parents were actually his grandparents, and his sister Patricia was his mother, Definitely a strange way to enter puberty. Evidently Patricia had become pregnant with Eric at age 16 after a chance encounter with a Canadian serviceman named Edward Fryer, who was stationed in England during World War 2. Eric never met his father, and Fryer who died of cancer in 1985 had fathered children all over the place. After his time in the service, it seems that Fryer became a drifter who earned cash playing piano in various bars. Throughout his life Clapton struggled with the emotional repercussions of his father's absence. According to a report in the Ottawa Citizen, his song My Father's Eyes was inspired by this longing for a paternal bond he could never have, with the musician explaining I never met my father, And I realized that the closest I ever came to looking into my father's eyes was when I looked into my son's eyes.
