Eric Clapton Special To Air On MTV Live And VH1 Classic On May 20th



MTV Live and VH1 Classic will air ERIC CLAPTON: I STILL DO – AN INTIMATE DISCUSSION ABOUT ROCK, THE BLUES AND SHEPERD’S PIE, an hour-long special on Friday, May 20th at 8pm on Vh1 Classic and 9pm on MTV Live.  The special coincides with the release of Clapton’s newest album I Still Do.  A music video for the new song “Spiral” is out now on YouTube.

Music legend Eric Clapton has reunited with famed producer Glyn Johns for his forthcoming 23rd studio album I Still Do, set for release on May 20, 2016 on his Bushbranch Records/Surfdog Records. Clapton and Johns – who has also produced albums for The Eagles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and The Who – most famously worked together on Clapton’s iconic Slowhand album, which is RIAA-certified 3x-platinum and topped charts globally. The 12-track record includes some original songs written by Clapton. This album follows his last release, the 2014 chart-topping Eric Clapton & Friends: The Breeze, An Appreciation of JJ Cale.

After his time with the Yardbirds in 1963, Clapton began a career as a professional musician that has seen numerous bands, an abundance of albums, countless worldwide sold out shows, an impressive array of accolades, unwavering critical acclaim and his consistent display of legendary guitar work. Clapton’s career has resulted in 18 Grammy Awards and the distinct honor of being the only triple inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
