Eric Clapton's long lost Les Paul guitar "Beano," may have been found. The classic Gibson instrument was a mainstay for Slow Hand in the 1960s and has been long thought lost or destroyed. Now blues guitarist Joe Bonamassa tells guitarworld.com it not only exists but he knows where. "It's a '59, not a '60, it's got double-white [humbucker] in the front . . ."

He adds, "I don't know if Clapton would even want it back at this point," Bonamassa said. "Truth be told, would he even recognize it 50 years on? I guess so. Maybe it'd be different if he'd scratched his name on the back of the headstock or had recorded the serial number. But then Jimmy Page has got back his Custom three-pickup that he played in the Albert Hall in 1969."

Prince, David Bowie, Glenn Frey, Lemmy: they're our gods, in a way. So when they die, we have to question our immortality. Even I, as a rock star, have to question my own.
