People talk about the Derek and the Dominos curse. Duane Allman died in a motorcycle accident one year after the album Layla was released, and drummer Jim Gordon, who went insane and spent the rest of his life in prison for murdering his mother, died in 2023. The bassist Carl Radle died at age 37 of kidney failure due to the effects of drinking and drugs, and in 1991 Eric Clapton lost his 4-year-old son Conor, who fell from the 53rd floor of a skyscraper in New York. Bobby Whitlock seems to be the only band member to escape the curse.
