Did You Know?
Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Roger Daltrey, Brian May, Roger Taylor, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Rob Halford and other members of the British music community were Queen Elizabeth's guests at a reception at Buckingham Palace. When Clapton was presented to the Queen, she asked if he'd been "playing a long time." Clapton replied, "It must be 45 years now."
