ERIC CLAPTON married model Pattie Boyd not long after her divorce from The Beatles guitarist George Harrison - but is his song Layla about her?

Eric Clapton was a good friend of The Beatles, especially George Harrison. One person in George’s life also grew close to Eric, his wife Pattie Boyd, who eventually married Eric for a short while. Their relationship was tumultuous, but did Eric write his famous song Layla about Pattie?

It has been suggested one of Eric Clapton’s most famous songs, Layla, is about Pattie, as were many of the love songs he composed after meeting her.
