aslan7 954 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I would not have guessed he's 71. In fact, he looks pretty good in the picture. Sad to see his internals are hurting enough to keep him from playing effectively. A true guitar legend who has certainly seen his share of low and high points throughout his life.

Charlie 16,429 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 One of, if not the, greatest guitar player of any generation. So sad to see him in this condition... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zumbini 6,135 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 He's still in better shape than his Cream bandmates Jack Bruce (RIP) and Ginger Baker (COPD, heart issues). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry he's having problems, I've really enjoyed his blues festivals, I've got several on Bluray. I'm only 60 and really feeling some old snow skiing, water skiing and motorcycling injuries. Got an appointment with an orthopedic in the morning! But I would do it all again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
