Overview
- Clapton, who was taking bows in Madrid on Thursday, left without an encore after a sealed vinyl record thrown from the crowd struck his chest.
- Video of the moment spread on social media, showing his mood shift as he was about to exit for a planned return.
- The person who threw the record has not been identified, and El País reported the LP carried a note that suggested no intent to harm.
- Clapton has not commented and his representatives have been asked for a response, with the next show slated for Barcelona on Saturday, May 10.
- The European run continues with Germany dates next week and a UK stop at Sandringham on August 23, in a year when artists have raised concerns about objects being hurled at stages.
