CLAPTON FEARS BECOMING A THERAPY BORE Eric Clapton has spent so much time and money involved with therapy centres in London and Antigua that he is afraid of becoming an anti-drugs bore. The COCAINE hitmaker reveals that he has been working as a part-time unpaid member of staff at the Priory Clinic in south west London for several years. This year (98) he spent $11 million of his personal fortune on building the Crossroads Centre, a rehab clinic in Antigua, the Caribbean island where he has had a home for 11 years. But Clapton fears that his new obsession will turn him into a bore saying, "Oh God, yes, I dread becoming a therapy bore. I love therapy, and the last thing I want to do is give it a bad name. - --- Checked-by: Rich O'Grady
