Read The Rare Letter Up For Auction John Lennon Wrote to Eric Clapton
SHARE

The highly coveted letter penned by John Lennon to Eric Clapton proposing a new music project has surfaced ahead of its upcoming auction. The eight-page draft letter, dated September 1971, provides a fascinating glimpse into Lennon’s vision during a tumultuous period in Clapton’s life.

In the letter, Lennon extends an invitation to Clapton to join a supergroup in the early 1970s with the aim of revitalizing the rock’n’roll scene. He expresses his admiration for Clapton and outlines his plans for the project, suggesting a collaboration with other talented musicians including Klaus Voormann, Jim Keltner, Nicky Hopkins, and Phil Spector.

During the same time when Lennon was riding high on the success of his solo career with the release of “Imagine,” he reached out to Clapton with a proposition to hit the road in a new way, free from the nightly pressures he experienced during his Beatles days. The letter also hints at Lennon’s understanding of Clapton’s personal struggles, including his battle with heroin addiction and the controversial love triangle involving Pattie Boyd, George Harrison’s wife at the time.

Lennon’s heartfelt words convey a sense of camaraderie and mutual support, as he expresses his belief in Clapton’s untapped potential and the transformative power of their collaboration. He reassures Clapton that his participation is valued not for his fame, but for his creative contribution.

The final fate of the letter remains a mystery, as the auction is set to take place on December 5 with an estimated value of $158,000 (€150,000). The International Autograph Auctions Europe SL has described the letter as a rare and precious artifact of Lennon’s personal correspondence.

As we await the outcome of the auction, the letter stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Lennon’s visionary spirit and the timeless allure of his musical legacy.
