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

I'm pretty sure the "why don't you ask ______" quotes are mostly lore and untrue (I read a variation on this when Billy Gibbons supposedly was asked the same question and pointed the interviewer to Prince), but regardless losing Clapton will be a true loss.  

+1 on Crossroads having one of the top solos of all time.
