On February 17, Eric Clapton and friends came together to remember Ginger Baker – and what a night it was!
It was called the Ginger Baker Tribute – Eric Clapton had announced the benefit concert to celebrate the musical life of his “dear friend” who died at 80 on October 6, 2019. The charity event, billed as Eric Clapton & Friends: A Tribute to Ginger Baker, was held at the Eventim Apollo Hammersmith in London, U.K and joining Eric were Steve Winwood, our Ronnie, Roger Waters and Nile Rodgers, among others, as Kenney Jones, Paul Carrack and Chris Stainton on keys, Steve Gadd, Willie Weeks, Baker’s son Kofi Baker, singers Katie Kissoon and Sharon White, Sonny Emory, Henry Spinetti, and Clapton’s nephew, Will Johns.
