生命中最低落的时期，在一次演出归来的途中，最亲近的朋友——年轻的布鲁斯吉他大师Stevie Ray Vaughan和Clapton的演出伙伴Colin Smythe 和Nigel Browne 丧生于直升机失事的事故中，他在后面的飞机上亲眼目睹了这一惨剧。几个月后，4岁的老来子Conor从曼哈顿53层楼的窗口意外坠下身亡。 Clapton生命里的三个字眼：吉它，毒品，悲剧。Eric Clapton,他是我最喜欢的吉它的声音。

歌词:

泪洒天堂(Tears in Heaven)

    Would you know my name
    If I saw you in heaven?
    Would you be the same
    If I saw you in heaven?
    I must be strong and carry on,
    Because I know I don't belong here in heaven.

    Would you hold my hand
    If I saw you in heaven?
    Would you help me stand
    If I saw you in heaven?
    I'll find my way through night and day,
    Because I know I just can't stand here in heaven.

    Time can bring you down,
    Time can bend your knees,
    Time can break your heart.
    Have you begging please,
    Begging please.

    Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure
    And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven.

    Would you know my name
    If I saw you in heaven?
    Would you be the same
    If I saw you in heaven?
    I must be strong and carry on,
    Because I know I don't belong here in heaven.
