Eric Clapton and his famous friends performed a tribute to their friend Ginger Baker in London on Monday.
Ginger Baker was the drummer for Cream featuring Clapton on guitar and Jack Bruce on bass. The band released four albums in two years.
After Cream disbanded, Clapton and Baker formed Blind Faith with Steve Winwood who was also at this show.
Guests for the show were Steve Winwood, Roger Waters, Nile Rodgers, Ronnie Wood, Kofi Baker, Kenney Jones, Henry Spinetti and Will Johns. Eric’s band featured Paul Carrack, Chris Stainton, Sonny Emory, Steve Gadd, Willie Weeks, Katie Kissoon and Sharon White.
Proceeds from the show went to Ginger Baker’s nominated charity Leonard Cheshire. The charity supports disabled people around the world.
