Yes, it\u2019s true. Eric Clapton unveiled the sad news in an interview with Steve Wright on BBC Radio 2. The main topic of the interview was \u201cLife in 12 Bars\u201d, a documentary with which fans can take a look at the life and work of Eric Clapton, told by the likes of Jimi Hendrix, BB King, and George Harrison.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the interview<\/a>, Clapton said: \u201cWhat I\u2019m concerned with now is being in my 70’s and being able to be proficient. I\u2019m going deaf, I\u2019ve got tinnitus, my hands just about work. I mean, I am hoping that people will come along and see me for more than that [because] I am a curiosity. I know that is part of it, because it\u2019s amazing to myself that I am still here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Mayo Clinic, Tinnitus (TIN-ih-tus) is the perception of noise or ringing in the ears.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clapton is <\/span>scheduled<\/span><\/a> to perform in July at Hyde Park in London. Make sure to catch that concert if you can. We never know when the legend Eric Clapton might retire.<\/span><\/p>\n
