The Southbank Show ITV December 2 - Eric Clapton

Eric Clapton is to appear on The South Bank Show, for the first time in twenty years, this December.

Interviewed once again by South Bank Show host Melvyn Bragg, Clapton chats at length about conquering his addiction with alcohol which was at it's peak at the time of their first meeting.

The filmed interview also sees Clapton talk frankly about his family, the death of his son, the intensity of his relationships with other great guitarists and with women, his influences and his most moving songs - and how he has now finally found peace.

The show which airs on ITV1 on December 2, will also include rare and exclusive performance footage.
