Fans of the famous rock musician Eric Clapton are alarmed in earnest. In a recent interview with journalists, he admitted that he has serious health problems, in particular, the artist is deafened by deafness!
Clapton literally loses hearing and medicine, unfortunately, is not able to help him. However, the 72-year-old rocker is not deprived of the presence of the spirit and tries to hold on:
"I am pleased that I can now give concerts! The only thing that bothers me is the unknown. After all, it's unclear how long I can still be "in the line", as a musician. I steadily lose my hearing. For the guitarist, the most important thing is the hands, so they bring me down too ... ".
The musician admitted that his diagnosis sounds disappointing - it is ringing in the ears, whether in a scientific "tinnitus". This is not all the troubles of the rock legend, he is also worried about peripheral neuropathy. This ailment does not allow the artist to stand on the guitar for a long time. The disease is extremely unpleasant:
"I feel all the time, as if electric current is being let through my leg."
The artist admitted that the most acute of these ailments began to manifest in the past year. When a musician analyzes the causes of health problems, he does not deny that the blame for all is the youthful inclination to drink alcohol.
Music gives hope
But do not let these deceptions lead you astray! Eric Clapton and does not think to give up positions. In March 2018, he has scheduled several appearances in the United States.
Here's what the musician told the Daily Mail:
"I'm pleased that people are still buying tickets for my concerts. I hope that they do not do this out of curiosity and desire to see "this old man". Although, what can I say here: I'm still such a curiosity! Sometimes I just can not believe that I can still go on stage! ".
Unfortunately, health problems sometimes make the artist even cancel scheduled meetings with fans. Last year he suffered from severe bronchitis, and in the summer due to back pain Clapton was forced to abandon the performance.
