Eric Clapton



One of the most successful guitarist and musician of 20th and 21st century Eric Clapton, was a son to Patricia Molly Clapton and Edward Walter Fryer, a young couple that lived in England.

Later on Patricia left Edward and moved on to marry a Canadian soldier, hence moved to Canada with him leaving Eric behind with his grandmother. By the time Eric was 9 years of age, his mother Patricia along with his half brother headed back to London to visit Eric.
