Guitar man: Clapton on a date with model Jilly Johnson Despite threatening to quit touring for good, Eric Clapton is gearing up for seven sold-out London concerts. He finds going out on the road ‘unbearable’ after 50 years in the business, but will treat British fans to a handful of shows at the Royal Albert Hall in May. Performing on home turf shouldn’t be too taxing: it will be just a short hop to his town house or his beloved Surrey estate, Hurtwood Edge. Whichever house he heads to, Clapton — brought up by his grandparents in the shadow of post-war rationing — has come a long way from his working-class roots. No doubt his recent thoughts of retirement — he admitted last year that he was ‘looking’ at it — were prompted by his birthday. This week he turned 70, and has told friends that he no longer enjoys staying in anonymous hotel rooms in the Midwest. Worse still, he fears ‘going off the boil’. Today, Clapton’s performance in concert may rarely reach the heights he once routinely scaled. But there’s no doubting that his professionalism, showmanship and clever fusion of styles make him a musician with staying power. He is a real survivor; but not all of those he has known over the years have been as lucky. While he sings soulfully about the blues, it has often been left to others around him to experience them. Take, for example, society beauty Alice Ormsby-Gore, his girlfriend from 1968 to 1974. Just 16 when they met through Clapton’s interior designer, Alice was a child born into great privilege. Her father David became the British ambassador to Washington and she grew up on an idyllic 1,500-acre estate, Brogyntyn Hall in Shropshire. Share Clapton’s success with the supergroup Cream had made him one of rock’s most revered and richly rewarded stars, but Alice’s life with him soon took a sorry turn. They spent years in seclusion at his Italian-style villa in Surrey, where their diet consisted of alcohol, heroin and junk food. One of the few visitors to the house told me that ‘Eric ate nothing but chocolate for about three years’. He had ‘gone to pot, mentally and physically. When he sat down in one of his narrow antique chairs, he oozed out from the sides of it.’ The weekly arrival of a ten-gram packet of heroin became the highlight of the couple’s routine. When Clapton once inadvertently spilt the contents on the floor, he promptly began snorting the rug. Alice was soon in a wretched state. One of her family told me there had been scenes of ‘stomach-churning squalor and nastiness’ in her life with Clapton. There is no suggestion that he was in any way responsible for his partner’s choices. But it was all ‘one long, terrible downhill race, as if the two of them were competing to see who could destroy their life first,’ I was told by a friend. Dinner date: The guitarist is also rumored to have had a relationship with Basic Instinct actress Sharon Stone. Here the pair are seen leaving a restaurant in London in 1996 In January 1973, a few fans were at least able to slap Clapton on the back as he emerged from a restaurant on a rare visit to London. None of them recognised the haggard, bow-legged woman with broken teeth and matted, greasy hair hobbling along behind him. It was the once-ravishing Alice. The following year, Clapton moved from heroin to alcohol and began a U.S. It was the start of a triumphant professional comeback for him, but an even steeper personal decline for the fragile Alice. In November 1974, she went to call on her elder brother Julian, who worked as a waiter, and found him dead on the floor of his Fulham flat. He had shot himself. After that, Alice seemed to drift off into a 20-year-long lost weekend. Her mother and her favourite uncle had already been killed in separate car accidents. And when in 1985 her father died, aged 66, also at the wheel of a car, the media began to refer to an ‘Ormsby-Gore curse’. Years after their split, in 1995, Clapton was awarded the OBE for services to music. His income for the previous year was estimated at £15.4 million, making him one of Britain’s highest paid performers. Clapton dated Alice Ormsby-Gore from 1968 to 1974. Pictured: With Ormsby-Gore in 1970s Just three months later, Alice was found dead at her home in a run-down part of Bournemouth. She was 42, and had been living there in a ground-floor bedsit with a sheet nailed up over the front window. A neighbour said she had seen Alice occasionally walking across to the shops: ‘Once I noticed her eyes were closed and she seemed asleep. She always looked shabby and her flat was in a disgusting condition.’ She heard that Alice had been found dead ‘with a syringe in her arm’. With Clapton having swapped heroin for brandy and lemonade, which he swigged out of a constantly refilled pint mug, a member of his entourage on a mid-1970s American tour said it was ‘half comic and half tragic, like seeing Elvis in Las Vegas’. There were nights when he was so drunk on stage that he played the guitar lying flat on his back. Back at home there was the bubbly model Pattie Boyd, who had taken on Alice’s role as the musician’s live-in partner. She had been discovered after appearing in The Beatles film A Hard Day’s Night — and happened to be married to his best friend, George Harrison. Clapton had voiced his feelings for Pattie in the song Layla, released in 1970, although it would be nearly five years until they officially became a couple. In the meantime he had an affair with Boyd’s younger sister Paula, whom he admitted was ‘a surrogate Pattie in my mind’. ‘That whole period was insane,’ Boyd remembers. ‘We were all as drunk, stoned and single-minded as each other.’ Indeed, readers may wish to have a pen and paper ready in order to keep track of the background to their affair, which in the mid-1970s seemed to involve most of Britain’s rock aristocracy. George Harrison, still married to Pattie, went off to Spain with Ronnie Wood’s wife, Krissie. Wood, who was then in his ‘gap year’ between the Faces and the Rolling Stones, in turn took up with Pattie. George then came back from Spain and began an affair with Ringo Starr’s wife, Maureen. Ringo, not surprisingly, flew into a rage at this betrayal. ‘Nothing is real, nothing is real,’ he shouted. At that stage, Clapton had persuaded Pattie to leave George and move in with him. But it was not to be an exclusive arrangement. One day Pattie came home to find Clapton sitting on the sofa beside a model friend of hers, Jenny McLean. When Pattie tried to start a conversation, Eric interrupted her with: ‘Can’t you see I’m in love with this girl? Just f*** off.’ Nonetheless, Clapton finally proposed to Boyd in 1979 by having one of his minders ring her and announce: ‘Eric wants to marry you. He says if you don’t want to, then “On your bike!”’. Clapton with Lory Del Santo, who he had a son Conor with The musician’s attitude to marriage soon fell short of the traditional monogamous ideal. On their honeymoon, Pattie found that he had gone off with Jenny McLean again. ‘We hadn’t even been married a week,’ she says. One night in 1985, Clapton took his wife to dinner and announced over the first course that he’d had an affair with an Italian model named Lory Del Santo. A few weeks later, he took Pattie out to dinner a second time and broke it to her that Del Santo was pregnant. Pattie herself was then 42 and had been unsuccessfully trying to conceive for years. Conor, Clapton’s son with Del Santo, was born the following August. Many will remember the tragedy of Conor’s death in 1991, when the four-year-old fell from the window of his mother’s 53rd-floor apartment in New York. Although many reports described Conor as Clapton’s only child, this wasn’t the case. When recording in Montserrat in 1984, he had begun an affair with a 28-year-old Anglo-Iraqi woman, Yvonne Kelly, whose husband was helping to produce Eric’s latest album. In 1985 she gave birth to Clapton’s daughter, Ruth. In later years Ruth and her mother were sometimes spotted in the front row of one of Clapton’s concerts at the Albert Hall, or accompanying him into his favourite restaurants. Although he had long parted from Yvonne, he doted on Ruth. Along the way, Clapton finally divorced Pattie, after eight years, in 1989. He had announced his decision to her on the morning of her 43rd birthday, by throwing her belongings out of the window. A decade of intermittently great music and ultimately failed love affairs with the likes of Naomi Campbell, Sharon Stone and singer Sheryl Crow followed. ‘I just like the company of beautiful women I have a weakness in that department,’ Clapton admitted. Model Pattie Boyd with Clapton, who he sang about in his hit single Layla These days he is happily married to 38-year-old Melia McEnery, a former Armani sales executive from Columbus, Ohio, with whom he has three young daughters. Like several of our rock stars of a certain age — such as Paul McCartney — he appears to have finally settled down with a younger, no-nonsense American. He has written songs on the joys of family life, and one — So Tired — about being kept awake all night by feeding babies. We can argue about whether Eric Clapton’s newfound contentment is necessarily a good thing for his music, the best of which took its inspiration from the utter chaos of his personal life. But as he marks his 70th birthday, perhaps we should spare a thought for some of those who were left behind along the way.
