Eric Clapton cut short his long-awaited return to Madrid after a fan hurled a vinyl record at him during the May 7 concert at Movistar Arena.
The 81-year-old guitarist had opened with Badge and delivered a roughly hour-long set of blues and rock staples that included Key to Highway, Hoochie Coochie Man, Cocaine, Layla and Tears in Heaven. The audience responded enthusiastically, but the show ended prematurely when a record thrown from the crowd struck Clapton in the chest just after he finished Cocaine. He acknowledged the applause with a brief bow and did not return for the planned encore of Before You Accuse Me.
