The Boy Changed His Life

Clapton’s life altered dramatically after becoming a father, but there were a few things that kept the same throughout the process. He was still an alcoholic, for example, despite the fact that he didn’t drink in front of Conor or around him. When it was actually Clapton’s son who was suffering from “white-knuckle sobriety,” Norman claims that Clapton would immediately hand the boy back to Del Santo – and then he’d supposedly pound the bottle of vodka with both hands.

This practice lasted for more than a year for Clapton, culminating in a tour of Australia in the fall of 1987, when he was at his peak. Clapton’s binge drinking, combined with a demanding work schedule, had reached a breaking point, as he confessed in an interview in which he couldn’t stop trembling. He couldn’t function properly without a drink, but he couldn’t function properly with one. He was in a tight place, and he was barely making ends meet in terms of his musical endeavors. If this trend continues, the entire world will undoubtedly implode.
