ERIC CLAPTON Releases Song for ASIA's JOHN WETTON
05 February 2017In the wake of the death of prog rock legend John Wetton, Eric Clapton has released a piece of music he’s calling 'For John W.' You can listen to it below.
He uploaded the track to his Facebook page. It’s one-minute-and-38-seconds long, and features Clapton taking a simple phrase on his acoustic guitar and building from there. Clapton did something similar when Jack Bruce, his former bandmate in CREAM, passed away in October 2014.
Wetton died from cancer on Tuesday at the age of 67, after a career that saw him rise to fame in the early ’70s as the singer and bassist in King Crimson and become a star a decade later as the frontman of ASIA. In between, he served as a session and/or touring musician for such high-profile acts as URIAH HEEP, ROXY MUSIC and WISHBONE ASH.
