Eric Clapton: I Didn't Have Sex Sober Until My 30s

[CatWoman]

Eric Clapton did not have sex sober until he was in his 30s due to his booze and drug use, he has revealed.

The guitarist, an-ex alcoholic, said: "I came from treatment the first time and couldn't perform with my wife.

"It never occurred to me I had never had sex without being stoned.

"I'd get drunk first and then be kind of guided through it."

In a frank interview with the South Bank Show, Clapton, 62, said he finally kicked booze after "dark, dark suicidal thoughts" on a 1987 tour of Australia.

In the interview, to be shown on December 2, he said he went into mourning over Pattie Boyd, wife of George Harrison, because he could not have her.

And he had to write his biography now due to "memory lapses".

3. That's why I liked Zappa.

All of the talent, none of the drama. Played his guitar, had a stable and loving marriage, raised his kids, did his job and headed off to rock 'n' roll heaven.

The Clapton "Layla" bullshit...the Fleetwood Mac everybody screwing everybody else and Stevie is a Welsh witch coke addict and Mick has a nervous breakdown and Christine can't handle the road and Lindsey's a fucking nutcase and it all ends in divorce bullshit...

Zappa had it right:

Shut Up 'N Play Yer Guitar...

4. If he had never had sex until his 30s, he could say the same thing.
