Guitar Legend, 80, Stuns Fans by Stepping Out of Character at Recent Concert
Eric Clapton is a lot of things.
The classic rock icon began his career in the spotlight as the guitarist for The Yardbirds, before changing hands in other bands for a while. This all led him to Cream, where he really came into his own with iconic songs like "Sunshine of Your Love," and "White Room." Moving on from Cream, he joined the supergroup Blind Faith, releasing one album with the band, and later going on to form the band that spawned his most famous song, Derek and the Dominos.
Through several legendary bands, a lengthy solo career, and plenty of iconic songs, Clapton made a name for himself as a member of the guitar pantheon. He's become known for his bluesy style, his eighteen Grammy wins, and his onstage presence.
However, Clapton isn't exactly known for acknowledging his crowds, never doing more than saying "thank you." That's what makes this video from a recent show quite the surprise.
Fans were stunned to see Clapton acknowledging the crowd like this. They left their reactions in the comments.
"Never once seen him point or say anything much more than "THANK YOU!"
"I was there to the left of the stage, first time seeing Eric live, he was absolutely fantastic. Eric Clapton is god. 🔥"
"He looks and sounds amazing.❤️"
Maybe we'll be seeing a more interactive side of Clapton in future performances. Seems like everybody in attendance was having a good time.🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬
