Eric Clapton has spent the majority of his career putting his foot squarely in his own mouth these days, he’s probably better known as a walking gaffe machine than the guy who wrote ‘Tears in Heaven’.
Clapton’s controversies date as far back as 1976, when the singer and guitarist expressed racist views during a concert in Birmingham. “Do we have any foreigners in the audience tonight?” Clapton asked the room. “If so, please put up your hands. So where are you? Well wherever you all are, I think you should all just leave. Not just leave the hall, leave our country. I don’t want you here, in the room or in my country.”
