Better late than never: Eric Clapton belatedly celebrated his 70th birthday on May 1, gathering a few friends and several thousand of his closest fans together for a concert at Madison Square Garden.
Having just emerged from rehab for alcoholism, Eric Clapton says he named 'Money and Cigarettes' -- which was released in February 1983 -- after "all I saw myself having left."
Eric Clapton led a musical tribute to Jack Bruce at his former Cream bandmate's funeral in North London earlier today, singing the Beatles' 'Strawberry Fields Forever' with help from friends and family.
