Eric Clapton has paid emotional tribute to British blues legend John Mayall, whose death at the age of 90 was announced yesterday.
“I want to say a few words about my friend John," says a clearly emotional Clapton, in a video posted to social media. "I want to say thank you chiefly for rescuing me from oblivion, and god knows what when I was a young man around the age of 18 or 19, when I decided I was going to quit music."
