Summary
Eric was born an illegitimate child to a Canadian airman in 1945 and raised by his grandparents - until the age of 9 he believed his absentee mother to be his sister. When the truth was revealed he felt a… sense of abandonment and isolation which was eventually to drive him to despair and addiction. From his early teens his solace was the guitar, and at the age of eighteen he joined the Yardbirds and from then on his legendary status was assured. In 1966 the world's first super group, Cream, was formed and at the age of 22 Eric was a world superstar. Now for the first time, Eric tells the story of his personal and professional journeys in this autobiography. 2007.
