On March 20, 1991, Clapton's four-and-a-half-year-old son, Conor died when he fell from a 53rd-story window in a New York City apartment. He landed on the roof of an adjacent four-story building.
Conor was in the custody of his mother, Italian actress Lori Del Santo, and they were staying in the apartment during a visit to New York from Italy.
Eric, was also in New York (his permanent home is in Surrey, England) and was staying at a nearby hotel at the time of the tragedy. Clapton and Del Santo never wed.
After Conor died Eric wrote “Tears In Heaven", “Signe”, “Circus”, and “My Father’s Eyes” to help work through his grief.
"Tears in Heaven" is a tribute to his son.

Conor Clapton died falling out of a window of a high rise which the housekeeper had left open. Eric Clapton wrote the son "Tears In Heaven" in memory of his son.
I know this song all to well, I asked to have it played at my own son's funeral.

He fell out of an open upper story window. Do a search on it, there are a lot of stories about it out there. He wrote the song "Tears In Heaven" for his son. I think that's the name of it. I still don't like to listen to it, it's so sad.

Their maid was washing a window and left it open. It was a condominium apartment so it was one of those "full size" windows. His son ran straight into it and fell out from the 53rd floor, landing on the roof of a nearby building. Tragic...
