Boyd Supports Ex Clapton Decades Later
25 Apr
Summary
- Pattie Boyd praised ex-husband Eric Clapton's recent performance.
- Boyd attended Clapton's concert in Guildford, England.
- Songs like 'Layla' and 'Wonderful Tonight' were featured.
Pattie Boyd has publicly supported her former husband, Eric Clapton, more than thirty years after their divorce. Boyd, 82, recently shared a photo of Clapton performing in England earlier this week on Instagram. She described the experience of seeing him at the G-Live venue in Guildford as "fabulous."
Boyd specifically mentioned enjoying live renditions of "Old Love," "Layla," and "Wonderful Tonight." These songs are widely believed to have been inspired by Boyd during Clapton's infatuation with her while she was married to his friend, The Beatles' George Harrison.
Boyd was first married to Harrison, divorcing in 1977. Her subsequent marriage to Clapton began in 1979 and lasted until 1989. Reflecting in 2008, Boyd discussed infidelity in marriages, attributing it to men's need for external validation. She also noted a disparity between her memories of her marriage to Clapton and his colder portrayal in his autobiography.
