The father of the child who's death inspired "Tears in Heaven" was named number five in what magazine's "The 10 Best Electric Guitar Players"?
Tears in Heaven "Tears in Heaven" is a song by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings, from the 1991 "Rush" film soundtrack. The song was written about the pain and loss Clapton felt following the death of his 4-year-old son, Conor. In an interview with Sue Lawley in 1992, Clapton said of the song, "There is a song that I’ve written for a movie, but in actual fact it was in the back of my head but it didn’t really have a reason for being until I was scoring this movie which I did a little while ago and then it sort of had a reason to be. And it is a little ambiguous because it could be taken to be about Conor but it also is meant to be part of the film." Conor fell from a window of a 53rd-floor New York apartment owned by his mother's friend on March 20, 1991. Clapton arrived at the apartment shortly after the accident.
