Eric Clapton to play in Bucharest next year

Famous guitarist Eric Clapton, whose hits include Tears in Heaven, Wonderful Tonight, Layla and Old Love, will play Bucharest on June 11 next summer at Arcul de Triumf stadium. Clapton, known in the music world as ‘Slowhand’, will do a blues-rock show with an old collaborator of his and well-known name on the music scene, Stevie Winwood. The two played together for the first time in 40 years in 2008, in three sold-out concerts in New York. In 1969, Clapton and Winwood founded the super-group Blind Faith, which released only one album. The concert will be part of a European tour that will start on May 18 in England and end in Turkey on June 13. The European leg will be preceded by concerts in the United States and Canada.
