How He Met Boyd
The connection Clapton shared with Harrison, with whom he had a passionate friendship, led him to meet Pattie Boyd, Harrison’s first wife, through their mutual friend Harrison. Clapton dated her sister Paula for a short period of time in an attempt to control her ardor. It appears that Clapton’s feelings for Boyd were expressed in the song “Layla,” which was written after the guitarist was ignored for the first time, which resulted in disastrous consequences for him.

Getting Rid Of His Addiction
For one thing, the actor is claimed to have spent several years in seclusion, succumbing to his heroin and alcoholic addictions, which would ultimately come to dominate his life. Clapton didn’t record or perform again until 1971, when Harrison planned a benefit concert in New York in behalf of the Bangladeshi people. During his performance, Clapton is believed to have battled to stay on his feet, according to reports. Clapton, on the other hand, organized a return concert in January 1973, and it appears that preparing for it helped him maintain his sobriety during the performance.
