At 72 years old, Eric Clapton is due to play Hyde Park and adamant about continuing to work.

Yet the musician has now admitted that he is suffering from deafness and struggling to strum the guitar, the Daily Mail reports.

In an interview with Steve Wright on BBC Radio 2 on Tuesday, the 72-year-old music legend revealed he’s anxious about being able to play the instrument and sing ‘proficiently’ due to the ailments he has including tinnitus, a ringing coming from inside the ear.

He also admitted at the height of his alcoholism he would drink a self-made potent cocktail to mask just how much booze he was sinking.
