The multiple Grammy Award-winning musician, one of the most influential guitarists of all time, has only played in the Hungarian capital once so far in his sixty-year career, in 2006 at the Papp László Budapest Sport Arena. He will return next spring as part of his European tour.

It was also revealed that a remastered version of Clapton's 1989 album Journeyman will be released on November 21st, and will include four bonus tracks taken from the original studio recordings. The previously unreleased song "Forever," written by Jerry Williams, and its music video have also been released.

The updated version of Journeyman features evergreen hits like Pretending, Bad Love and Running on Faith, and features contributions from George Harrison, Phil Collins, Chaka Khan, Daryl Hall, Robert Cray and many more.

Eric Clapton's latest album, Meanwhile, was released last October. The fourteen-song album features six previously unheard tracks and features artists including Jeff Beck, Van Morrison, Bradley Walker, Judith Hill, Daniel Santiago and Simon Climie.

His European concerts next year are a continuation of this year's successful American tour, during which he played to sold-out crowds at Madison Square Garden in New York, among other places.

One of the most influential musicians in the history of rock music, Eric Clapton, who turns 80 this year, began his career in 1963 with the Yardbirds.

In the sixties, he became world famous in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith, and then Derek and The Dominos. He began his solo career in 1970, which had both fantastic highs and lows.

He is the only musician to have been ever inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times (as a member of the Yardbirds, Cream, and finally solo), has won 18 Grammys, and is only surpassed by his former good friend Jimi Hendrix on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the greatest guitarists of all time.

Although he changed styles several times during his career, his music preserved the traditions of the blues, but the most memorable are his studio and concert albums on which he followed in the footsteps of his black blues masters.
