How He Met Boyd
Clapton met Pattie Boyd, Harrison’s first wife, through his connection with Harrison, with whom he had a passionate relationship. Clapton dated her sister Paula for a while in an attempt to calm down her lust. Clapton’s sentiments for Boyd appear to have informed the song “Layla,” which was composed after the guitarist was ignored for the first time, with terrible consequences for him.

Ending His Addiction
After all, the actor is said to have spent several years in seclusion, succumbing to his heroin and alcohol addictions, which would later become central to his existence. Clapton didn’t record or play until 1971 when Harrison announced a New York show in support of Bangladesh. Clapton is said to have struggled to keep on his feet during his performance. Clapton, on the other hand, staged a comeback gig in January 1973, and it appears that practicing for it aided his sobriety.
