Eric Clapton plans retirement

Guitar legend Eric Clapton has revealed he is ready to retire from touring after more than 50 years on the road.
The 69-year-old British musician said travelling has become unbearable and he has concerns about his health, adding that he fears he could end up 'embarrassing' himself, reported Daily Mirror.
Father-of-four Clapton, who also became a grandfather last year, claimed in addition that he has lost much of his love for touring because most countries are now a 'different version of America'.
"There are tons of things I'd like to do but I'm looking at retirement too. I'm 70 next year. I think what I'll allow myself to do, within reason, is carry on recording in the studio," Clapton said.

"I don't want to go off the boil to the point where I'm embarrassing myself. The road has become unbearable. It's unapproachable, because it takes so long to get anywhere - and it's hostile," he added.
Clapton added that there could soon be a day when he is no longer able to play the guitar, saying, "Maybe. Physically, it might be that I can't, if it hurts too much. I have odd ailments.
