Je ne pense pas qu'Eric Clapton avait perdu le nord. Sa motivation était 
et restait la musique.
À côté, il y avait la pression du succès en tant que musicien (il ne 
faut pas oublier que sa carrière a débuté avec les Yardbirds alors qu'il 
n'avait que 18 ans). Ses aventures amoureuses extraconjugales. Sa longue 
dépendance aux drogues et à l'alcool. Il brûlait la chandelle par les 
deux bouts. Si cela ne crée pas du stress...

     Personal problems and early solo success

     Clapton's career successes in the 1970s were in stark contrast with 
the struggles he coped with in his personal life, which was troubled by 
romantic longings and drug and alcohol addiction.[64] Still infatuated 
with Boyd and torn by his friendship with Harrison, he withdrew from 
recording and touring to isolation in his Surrey residence as the 
Dominos broke up. He nursed a heroin addiction, which resulted in a 
lengthy career hiatus interrupted only by performing at Harrison's 
Concert for Bangladesh benefit shows in New York in August 1971; there, 
he passed out on stage, was revived, and managed to finish his 
performance.[20] In January 1973, the Who's Pete Townshend organised a 
comeback concert for Clapton at London's Rainbow Theatre, titled the 
"Rainbow Concert", to help Clapton kick his addiction. Clapton returned 
the favour by playing "The Preacher" in Ken Russell's film version of 
the Who's Tommy in 1975. His appearance in the film (performing 
"Eyesight to the Blind") is notable as he is clearly wearing a fake 
beard in some shots, the result of deciding to shave off his real beard 
after the initial takes in an attempt to force the director to remove 
his earlier scene from the film and leave the set.[58]

     In 1974, Clapton started living with Boyd (they would not marry 
until 1979) and was no longer using heroin (although he gradually began 
to drink heavily). [...]

Un temps fort et un temps faible ? Il « jouait » sur (la) mesure et à

Dommage qu'il ne lise pas FLLA. Nous aurions peut-être la réponse...
