'80s rock legend Eric Clapton is back on tour as of March 2026. Ahead of his return to the stage, the guitarist dropped a deluxe version of his Grammy Award-winning 1989 album, Journeyman.

The deluxe edition features four additional tracks, including three previously unreleased songs from that era and one new bonus track. The added tracks— "Higher Power", "Border Song", "Forever" and "That Kind of Woman"— are now available on streaming platforms.

Journeyman was Clapton's eleventh studio album, and it quickly achieved major commercial success. The album had massive hits like "Bad Love" and Pretending", and featured collaborations with other iconic '70s musicians, including George Harrison and Phil Collins. The single "Bad Love" went on to receive a Grammy for Best Rock Vocal Performance in 1991.

Clapton began his music career in 1963, moving between several bands before forming the Cream trio in 1966. The group, consisting of guitarist Clapton, vocalist and bassist Jack Bruce and drummer Ginger Baker, quickly became an incredibly successful British rock supergroup. Within its two-year run, the band garnered global recognition before disbanding in late 1968.

Clapton went on to continue his career in bands like Blind Faith and Derek and the Dominos before focusing on his solo work in the mid-1970s.

Throughout his career, Clapton has won 18 Grammy Awards and is the only solo artist to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times. His artistry has played a pivotal role in shaping the rock genre, and continues to build his legacy at 80 years old.
