Guitar legend Eric Clapton has astonished fans (no, really) by admitting he has been moonlighting as the owner of a posh gentlemen's outfitters. The 59 year old rock star owns half of Cordings of Piccadilly and has spent the last few months planning it's re-launch. Cordings is famous for making riding boots for the Queen Mother, the Duke of Windsor and Mrs Simpson. Although not known as a man of fashion, Clapton says he bought into the company because he liked its classic shirts and tweed hacking jackets and wanted to ensure that he could continue to buy the elegant country clothes.
