Eric Clapton cut short a concert in Madrid last week after someone in the audience threw an object that struck him in the chest, several news outlets report.
Mr. Clapton had just finished performing “Cocaine” at the Movistar Arena last Thursday when someone hurled what appeared to be a vinyl record sleeve.
The Clapton fan club Where’s Eric! said the incident occurred during the famed guitarist/songwriter’s first appearance in Madrid in 25 years.
Mr. Clapton, 81, was not seriously injured and went on to perform in Barcelona on Sunday.
The episode illustrates a recent trend of concertgoers throwing objects at performers.
