====Eric Clapton was born on 30 March in 1945 in Surrey, England. Before he was born his 24-year-old father returned to his wife in Canada. It was difficult for his mother to raise her own child in the mid 1940s. That’s why his grandparent raised him as their own. He grew up in believing that his mother was his sister. With the year of 9 he learned the truth about his mother, when she returned to England with his half-brother. The truth was a defining moment in his life.
