Trivia
- His maternal grandparents, who brought him up, had the surname of Clapp. His grandmother had previously been married to a man called Clapton though, and during this time gave birth to Eric's mother. This is where the confusion about Eric's real surname comes from, but therefore is, in fact, Clapton.
- His son, Conor, with Lory Del Santo, died in a fall from a 53rd-floor apartment, March 20, 1991. Clapton's Grammy-winning hit song "Tears in Heaven" was dedicated to the memory of his son.
- Had a daughter with Yvonne Kelly in 1986 - Made public in 1993.
