Everybody had agreed about doing it, but then I think Ginger upset Eric. He said something or did something, so it’s not happening,’ claimed the bassist in a recent interview. Cream recently called off plans for a reunion tour because Ginger Baker “upset” Eric Clapton, according to Jack Bruce. In a recent conversation with Rolling Stone<\/a>, Bruce revealed the band were all set to make their live return some time “last year or this year”. “Everybody had agreed about doing it,” the bassist said, “but then I think Ginger upset Eric. He said something or did something, so it’s not happening.” <\/p>\n

Cream only really spent three years together, releasing four albums between 1966 and 1969. And although their records have sold more than 15m copies, the band members aren’t close: “It’s like I don’t have anything to do with them actually very much,” Bruce said. “Ginger, from what I’ve heard, is a bitter old man. And I’m quite a cheerful old chap.”<\/p>\n

They have performed together only twice since: at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 1993, and for a series of New York and London gigs in 2005. The strained relationships have “always been like that”. “That’s the way it goes,” Bruce admitted. “It’s fine. I think we said what we had to say at the time. And it was nice to have that little comeback. For me, that was just about right.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Clapton is Clapton and Baker nurses his reputation as rock’n’roll’s most fierce drummer. Bruce has just released his 14th solo album, the first in more than a decade. Silver Rails’s inspirations apparently include drone-metal by Earth and Om, the music of Olivier Messiaen and the death of Margaret Thatcher.<\/p>\n
