Eric Clapton has spoken about the reunion of Cream to perform a series of dates in 2005.
Cream, which was founded in 1966, consisted and will again consist of Eric Clapton on guitar, Jack Bruce as vocalist and bassist and drummer Ginger Baker.
The reformed outfit will take to the stage at the Royal Albert Hall for a series of concerts next May. Clapton told the BBC that tickets will go on sale shortly, though the exact dates are as yet unconfirmed.
The last live performance by the band was in 1993 as a one-off celebration of their induction into the Hall of Fame. "It's been so long since I've been around something from somebody else that's inspired me. For the last 20 years, it's been up to me to inspire me," Clapton said in 1993.
"There isn't a drummer on this earth that has the dexterity that Ginger has. Jack has this powerful thing that happens when he starts to sing and you're off on the side," he added.
