Conor Clapton's Grave

[@carlaadams5117]

Thank you so much for visiting Conor in heartfelt remembrance and with respect. I live in Texas. My little granddaughter, Salem, also born in August like Conor is now his age of Four and a half. So Conor’s tragic story hits home very hard for me when I think of Salem. Tragedy can strike in endless ways. I pray for her protection every day. So how I wish that every single second of March 20, 1991, would have been different for Conor and his parents. But only GOD knows the reason and purpose behind this tragic moment. Only GOD KNOWS.

There is in Scotland a line often spoken that you die twice once when the breath leaves your body and when your name is forgotten. You are helping these names to be remembered.

@Rosie Lee,Eric Clapton grew up in Ripley and went to school in Surbiton.I used to live 2 minutes away from his old school.I think Ripley holds an special place for him, I believe he moved back there a few years ago.It’s a pretty village in Surrey, not far from London at all but with a rural charm.

[@tiffanyWillows]

Conor was buried in England because his father lives their Rosie Lee. His grave is right next door to the church. It makes it easier for his dad to visit. Conor's mom lives in Italy. It wouldn't help to bury him in America, both parents would have to travel long distances....hope this helps.

I live in Italy and remember this tragically sad story so well as my two children were 3 and 2 at the time. Lory , Conor’s Italian mum gave an interview where she revealed that had she not been pregnant at the time ( she had only just found out and was only a few weeks gone ), she would definitely have followed her precious son and thrown herself out of that same window that he had fallen from , seeing as she would have had nothing else to live for. Years later, tragedy happened again as that very baby that was inside her womb, now a grown man , took his own life …. Poor Lory 😢😢

[@anthonycraig1458]

You did it well. As a huge fan of Eric's, I remember exactly where I'd been the night when I came home and heard the news. One of those moments you never forget and always remember where you were when you heard it. I'd only seen Eric just two weeks before it happened as part of his mammoth 24 nights at the Royal Albert Hall. He seemed tired (not surprisingly!) but gave it his all as he always does. I'm sure he was looking forward to a well deserved break then tragedy struck. Many people wondered what on earth Eric would do following such a tragedy and of course we all know the songs that followed. 2 years later in March 1993, I went to see him again the night after he won the armful of Grammy awards for Unplugged and he received a standing ovation just walking onstage before he'd said a word or played a note. There was such an outpouring of love towards Eric in that moment that I'll never forget.

[@coconutisland3634]

I’m crying as I watch this ..such a sad story …I met my husband in 1991 and remember when we heard about Conor ..poor little chap . I could never have children and I can only imagine the utter devestation and heartbreak losing a child causes . I know this from my own parents when my twin died and they spoke about her when I was growing up. Nearly 50 years later and I never say anything about her as the pain I can see and hear when I did try to ask in the past my dad has never spoke of her. Nobody ever gets over the death of a child , or anyone , just learn to live with it and the indescribable heartbreak and pain as best one can … Thankyou for another respectful video, u truly are a kind gentleman and show the upmost respect and sensitivity when doing these . Beautifully done as always . Poor Conor , God bless u little man ..RIP ❤️

[@yerdywobble5800]

Such a beautiful tribute to Conor, and handled with the utmost respect, extra special when it involves a child. There is a heart wrenching backstory to Eric’s, Tears From Heaven, told as I recall by Phil Collins, Eric’s good friend. Having written the song for Conor, Eric called Phil and played him the song as he wasn’t sure it was any good. Considering the emotions involved I imagine it clouds one own judgment, but Phil told Eric it was brilliant and should be recorded. The rest, as the saying goes, is history. I hope I’ve got this correct and more than happy to correct any errors if someone recalls it better than me. Rest in peace little Conor and may your soul be reunited with Dad when that time comes 🙏🏻

I'm a big fan of Eric's. I've travelled everywhere to see him live over decades. When Conor died in 1991 I really admired how Eric dealt with this horrible tragedy. How he remained sober and honoured his son's memory by not going down old avenues which lead to nothing but destruction. And the beautiful music he wrote at the time was very moving. Your video of visiting Conor's resting place was done very tastefully and very respectfully. It's right that this little boy's short life and memory is remembered. Thanks for posting this.
