53rd Floor facts
While investigating facts about 53rd Floor, I found out little known, but curios details like:
The Eric Clapton song "Tears in Heaven" was written for Clapton's four-year-old son who fell from a window of a 53rd-floor New York apartment in 1991. He doesn't sing it live because he doesn't feel the loss anymore and he doesn't want those feelings to come back.
Eric Clapton stopped playing Tears in Heaven - written for his son Connor, who fell to his death from the 53rd-floor of a New York apartment building in 1991 - in 2004 as he "didn't feel the loss anymore."
