I lost my son he was only 16 you never get over it they say time heals all wounds I promise you that is completely untrue! 😢

You treated this sensitive subject with such love and respect. This visit really meant something to you, and you gave it so much heart. Eric himself would have been proud of you.

I could never understand how Eric was able to sing this song and not break down and cry..........

The sound of the birds makes the graveyard that more peaceful

I lost my first born child my son only lived for 50 minutes he passed 32 years ago on May 19th and I’m telling you it still feels like it was just yesterday and for me it has never gotten easier and I still grieve for him.

You never get over losing your child. I lost 2 daughters and one son....it's been 51 years, 49 years, and 39 years, respectively.....still feels like 2 seconds ago...😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

I lost my youngest son Shawn on April 15,2017. He's 28 forever. Losing is a child is the most painful you can ever experience in life. It is beyond horrific.

I lost my daughter, who was my only child at 35..thats still young. It's the worst ache you can ever experience. However, my faith tells me I will be with her again in heaven. Love Eric Clapton and was saddened to learn of his son.❤

The song "Tears In Heaven" was written by Eric Clapton for his son who passed away. I sung "Tears In Heaven " at my childhood friends funeral. My friend was highly depressed and he hung himself after graduation and just a few days before Thanksgiving. We all miss him so much. " Would you know my name, if I saw you in heaven Would it be the same, if I saw you in heaven. I must be strong and carry on. Cause I know there'll be no more tears in heaven." What a great and powerful song with a heartfelt meaning. WOW just amazing! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The most beautiful and saddest song EVER. Rest in peace Conor.

“I must be strong And carry on, Cause I know there’ll be no more Tears in Heaven “ Greatest ode to a Son from his Dad ever. Rip Conor.

My mom had died three years before this song came out, I remember when this happened. By 2017 I had lost three kids of my own. You never expect this. It's heart wrenching.

I lost my daughter at age 8 in 2007. The pain never goes away

I remember when this happened. I was 22 and it affected me so much just thinking of the entire situation. 53 stories and a little fella falling just is unimaginable tragedy. I think about that little boy every time i hear the song. My husband and I had lost newborn twins, Matthew and Zachary, in 1988 and it is something I would never wish on anyone. God bless the parents that have buried a part of their heart. There is no pain equal to it.

I lost my oldest son just 2 years ago. Never even thought a child of mine would go before me, such an arrogant thought. The pain hasn’t gone away, it just sits and waits for vulnerable moment. But I do know they will know you when you are ready to go, my Mom saw her father, her brother her sister and her mother before she past, she told us they were waiting for her. So I will see my son again. 😢😢❤️❤️❤️

In my opinion, it is THE saddest song ever written. As a parent myself; it is my worst nightmare. Great video as always

I lost my son when he was 22. We played that song at his surface

The Angels caught his soul in their wings before his little body landed💔

Clapton has said that he didn't think he was a good father. He said in an interview that his son only wanted him to be Daddy but he was to busy being Eric Clapton and that, it was his greatest regret that he failed Connor as a Father

May Conor’s memory be a blessing.

I played the song the night my son passed, it's so powerful. It expressed what I was feeling,

My goodness. I’m a father of 4 and this hits home. I don’t know why I didn’t know this story but it’s terribly sad. 🙏

Every time I hear that song I cry😢😢😢😢. He's son is Adorable. It's so heartbreaking. 🙏🙏❤️❤️

The housekeeper must have been broken and inconsolable. I hope she's found some peace. It was a terrible accident.

I could never imagine the immense pain it must feel to lose a child, especially under circumstances like this. Eric is someone that I admire for his persevearance through it. As a father, I love my children immensely. Protect them at all costs

It’s Such tragic story > Conor Clapton, it’s what a beautiful song I had this song at my nephew funeral he was still born

This is such a sad story. I remember when this tragic accident happened 1991. No parent should have to lose a child. My heart goes out to Eric Clapton and his family. I have to say that watching this video brought back the memory of Conor's death, and I could not stop the tears from welling in my eyes. - RIP, Conor Clapton.

My brother lost his son at six weeks old so sorry to anybody who lost a child

What a beautiful tribute. Thanks for sharing as always.

Conor was born two months after my twins. When he died, I was on my route as letter carrier for the US Post Office. I heard the announcement on the radio in my jeep, and looked at the tallest building near me just trying to imagine what he went through. The tallest building near me was 26 stories, and I still can’t imagine what that poor baby went through.

What a tragedy. Thank you as always for staying respectful.

I always loved this song. Makes it more sad for me knowing that the poor child passed away on my birthday. No parent should ever outlive their children.

He would be 36, I live in Co Durham couple hours away and I would like to travel down for a visit one day. Poor baby, Great video very sad yet very respectful

I remember this. It hits close to me. My son died the same year. He was 9 years old, and I will never forget hearing "Tears in Heaven" the first time. I lost it. You really never get over losing a child. This video is very heartfelt. Thank you for doing it. 😢

My son is four right now not sure if I’m strong enough to watch this one, cherish your little ones you don’t know how precious they are until you lose them.

Thank you for always being so respectful for the graves and stories of these people.

Man, he was less than a year younger than me. He won the lottery being born to a wealthy rockstar and probably would have had a great life had this freakish accident not happened.

My most AWESOME daughter, Brooke, passed away in 2016 at the age of only 26 from a heart condition. The pain NEVER goes away. Thanks for the upload.👍🤗✌️

Always sad when someone passes, but it hits hardest when it is a child.

Heartbreaking 😢, I always tear up when I hear Tears in Heaven.

This song is truth. I lost my son May 23, 2005 and coming up on the anniversary is something I dread every year. You never heal. You have a hole in the middle of your heart that no matter what joys come, there is always that gnawing sadness inside. I listen to this song a lot. Thank you for doing this video.❤

OMG this poor baby, the poor family and I cried so much especially the letter. How sad and tragic. So many kids die to soon, for whatever cause, it's all tragic.

I showed this video to my father he broke the news to me back when this happened 😢 💔 thank you Grimm Family for making it to see Connor. My father enjoyed it as well.

I cry every single time 😢😢😢😢

My mom loved that song and she, too, has passed on. I never knew he had a kid. Rest In Peace, Conor! Happy Halloween!

My sons name is Connor and he was born with a very rare Heart defect, it was very difficult going through all those open heart surgeries he went through, I could not imagine losing my son like Eric did....its heartbreaking

Respect to the grimmlifecollective for this beautiful sad video

Soo soo sad what happened to Little Connor Clapton. RIP Lil Guy😢❤ Everytime i hear Tears In Heaven it chokes me up.

I completely remember when this happened. Heartbreaking. Sweet Conor. My Nephew played this at his Mom's (my sister) Funeral in 2002. Beautiful song.

Absolutely emotional video and a nice way to pay respects 🙏 ❤

I remember this devastating day for Mr Clapton - This shattered his life, and Tears in heaven was written so, so sad This video is so sensitively made Thankyou

This made me sob uncontrollably, the thought of losing your child is my greatest fear. I'm counting the hours before I pick him up from daycare today. Hold your children close every chance you get.

No parent should ever have to bury there child rip to Conner and I hope that his family are doing well

This was the most sad tribute you have made. Even after all those years, it is heartbreaking to remember that tragic day, and listen to Tears In Heaven. I love Eric Clapton, and the song he made for his dearest Son is very touching. Thank you Michael, i could feel your emotion at the end of the video. R. I. P. Conor Clapton 🕊️

Tears in Heaven is such a beautiful song. Such a beautiful tribute for his beautiful son.

Ever since I found out about Conor Clapton and how he passed, I felt sad and depressed for this child, felt like the world suddenly was devoid of colors. I don't know how his parents dealt with such loss. He would have been a year younger than me had he been alive. Rest in peace sweet child. 🕊️ Thank you for showing us his final resting place.

One of the saddest, beautiful, ethereal songs ever written. Rush is an awesome movie and the song went perfectly with it.

I will watch grimlifecollection all day. Real talk. Metal souls😎

Thanks for treating this with the upmost respect as always my Friend ❤

That is a beautiful song & a beautiful tribute to his son,Thank you for touching on this .Such a tragedy. R.I.P. Conor

I love that song. I have a daughter who is two years older than Conor. Her son is named Connor, he's a senior in high school this year. She has a 19 year old in college and ....a four year old son. I cannot imagine losing her or any of the grandkids (I actually have 9, the 4 year old Theo is the youngest). To Eric, your son lives through you, and as long as we're remembered, we live. ((hugs)) Well done video, sir.

I remember this, so sad! ! I can't even image the pain of losing a child, Thanks for Sharing! 💚💚

No windows above the 3rd floor should be able to be opened. Conor's death hit me really hard and still hurts and I didn't even know him or the family besides Eric's music Rest In Peace little Angel. 👼

Man that was like a gut punch. I remember vividly when that happened. That was long before I had my own kids but it still just broke my heart to pieces.

As a fan of Eric Clapton when the news that broke about the unfortunate death of young Conor, I grieved for a man who I had listened to my whole life and the tragedy lingered in my mind for years. My son was born one year later and when I heard Tears in Heaven for the first time I broke down crying. The love I had for my son I could not conceive the immense pain that Eric and his family went through, but just prayed to God that I would never have to play that song for my son. Your coverage of this story was very respectful and I can’t get the lyrics out of my head and tearing up while writing this. Thank You.

As a mother, I can't even fathom losing my son. This story is absolutely heart breaking. He died on my 2nd birthday. 💔

I have tears in my eyes right now while watching this. That is truly the saddest song ever written because of who it was written about. Also thank you for treating this with the love and respect it deserves.

This was so sad, I remember hearing about his death, I wasn’t born yet when he died but I remember seeing it somewhere, that poor little baby I cannot even begin to imagine what it’s like to lose a child but I do know loss. I lost my best friend when she was 22, she died at my college. The amount of grief someone can have, there’s never a time limit for grief or how you choose to be grieving, it’s different for everyone, I’ve listened to this song so much and it’s so heartbreaking, cannot cry without listening, cannot imagine how hard it must have been to write and perform. RIP sweet little baby boy Conor! He’s forever looking down watching and listening to this song written for him, he’s buried somewhere so beautiful and it’s beautiful to see someone recent came to visit him, sweet boy you are loved always and forever, losing a child is tragic and times were different back then, but hopefully places like this stories high have window locks and guards to hopefully prevent a loss of a child this way in the future! Tragedies happen, but the pain of losing someone especially a child and especially that young, I have chills now. Thank you for sharing Conor’s story and visiting this sweet baby, much love to everyone out there who has lost a child or knows the pain of loss. Much love Michael and Jessica, safe travels as the adventures continue 👻🦇💚

This is THE BEST storytelling of this horrible tragedy I have EVER heard. 👍😭💓🤗

Remember this like yesterday….it wrenched my heart straight out of my chest to the point that I’ve never ever listened completely to that song ever again …….

No words can describe what losing a child is like. Eric's song is a good way to keep Conor's memory alive, RIP

RIP Connor. We love you Eric your the Goat of guitar !

Ohhhhh sweet Conor when you see your daddy enter heaven when God calls him home you will run into his arms. A son never forgets his dad and the loving connection you have 💙💙

A musical friend of mine played this at my Brothers Celebration of Life service in March! So powerful words and melancholy music ! Beautiful!

I was like 12 when I heard this song and someone told me it's about his son that fell. Shocking. I'm in my 40s now and to see his grave is just nice. Thank you. RIP little man.

Conner Clapton was same age as my son and would be 37 now. Can't imagine the pain of son's loss like that.

You are such an empathetic and respectful man. Thank you for taking us to Conor’s grave, and for your loving words about his tragic death. That tragedy affected people so profoundly. ❤️

My mom loved this song so much. Sadly I just lost my mom on Jan 23,2024. I almost had this played at her funeral. I chose to go with her other fave song. I hope you dance. It's so sad I didnt know this was about the death of his son 😭.

The first time I heard this song , I cried. And then I found out why it was written. RIP little man. I don’t want to think of the pain when he fell

This has to be one of the saddest songs for myself . Not only because of why Eric Clapton wrote it , but it applies to so many losses , for so many of us , including myself . Here in Calgary, deaths such as this happened . The city brought in tough building codes because of it . And older apartments, high rises , office buildings had to comply , or they were heavily fined . Now, even seniors residences, for the most part don’t even have balconies . Thank you for this heart wrenching video , even though it was tough for you to do. You are helping raise awareness to others , who may live in a place that haven’t done anything about this . Thank you ❤

Extremely respectful and compassionate video

I remember Conor's accident on the news, I was gutted. I love Eric's music when I got married Wonderful tonight was our dance song.

I remember hearing that song was in dedication to his son, and then when I found out how this poor child died, it hurt so bad. No child should be taken, especially in that way. The song he wront for him was amazing and so heartfelt. I have always liked Eric Clapton as an artist. My heart breaks 💔 all over again hearing about this. 🥹

In addition to this unspeakable tragedy, which brought grief, guilt, anger and that awful feeling of “if only I hadn’t turned my back…,” something the nanny, parents and extended family replay in their minds every day, there is also the loss to the public in what Conor might have become as an adult. He would be around 38 years old today. He might well have been as great an artist as his father. We’ll never know now. 😢🥺

I often watch the newer KZfaq ‘reaction’ postings, of the younger generations first time listening/reacting to ‘Tears in Heaven’, and they come away very emotionally affected, of this powerful song. When I give up on the World, I find it very comforting that there is still this compassion, out there. My only small complaint is these people react to the ‘Rush’ footage, and not watching Eric performing it on stage. When you see him performing it, on stage, you see his eyes, and your heart is shattered into pieces, knowing how much he is hurting.

Thanks so much for visting Conor ❤ I have many tribute videos for him on my channel. I was in London a few years ago, but didn't make it to Ripley. Forever remembered ❤️

I remember that day, clearly, it was so awful and tragic. That song is a beautiful tribute to Connor. Eric Clapton also wrote another song about his son, that didn't get played too often. I wish I could remember that other song.

This breaks my heart. Seeing this precious little boy playing and then he falls 53 stories. I have two kids but can't imagine the pain his parents went through especially getting that letter from Conor after he died. Thank you for covering this with such compassion as you always do with these stories. Love your videos. Tears in Heaven is such a beautiful song. It will make you cry.

Thank you for a lovely tribute to Connor Clapton and his family. Yes, the song, I can feel his pain. So tragic, heartbreaking.

My dad told me this at a very young age, we love Eric Clapton!!?.❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for this video Michael

Thank you. I'm a big Eric Clapton fan, thanks to my parents. I sent this to them. My mom cried when this happened. I didn't understand. I was 5. What a tragedy -Shirley and Skittles Marie 🐱 🐈

That's such a sad story, I heard about that a long time ago. Tears In Heaven is definitely one of the Clapton's best songs

This passing was significant to my family in that a young boy my mom babysat passed 3 years after Conor did at the same young age. He had metabolic liver disease and his father had the song played at the funeral. I think it's the first funeral that moved me emotionally. Love and condolences to all parents who've lost kids. My whatever good energy and people you go to surround you.

My heart continues to ache for Eric--but I think people forget that Conor's mother suffers as well. The focus is always on Eric's pain because of how public his mourning was with the wonderful song he wrote. Let's not forget that Conor had a mother, Lory Del Santo, who suffered as well.

I remember the event well, I was 19. However I can't listen to Tears in Heaven as it was played at my Cousins Funeral. Such a sad tale.

My son is almost 4. I could only imagine how hard that would be. Great video again. Thank you and God bless.

I played that song alone in the dark when my father died 10 years ago and it always break muy heart but free me from the pain, I hope ir does the same for Mr Clapton. Great vídeo as always, Greetings from México city

Some people don't care about what happens to their kids but once their kids are dead they start to open their eyes. Happy Halloween 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃👻👻👻👻👻

I remember when this happened, I heard it on the radio. I sat there speechless 😢

Thank you for this share. My wife and I lost a baby while in development. There is nothing more heart wrenching than to lose a child of any age. Nothing prepares you for such a difficult loss. It takes time to no longer feel fragmented and to simply feel normal once again. Even as a clinician, I was ill prepared for the heartache and pain that I would encounter. Thank you once again for posting this video and showing kindness in your delivery. Respectfully, Dr. Asa Don Brown
