Eric Clapton ended a concert in Madrid early after being struck by a vinyl record thrown from the audience, leading him to skip the show’s planned encore performance.
The 81-year-old guitarist had just finished performing “Cocaine” at the Movistar Arena in the Spanish capital last week when the object was launched from the crowd and struck him in the chest, a video of the incident shared on social media showed. The footage also showed him recoil briefly after the impact before walking off stage.
