It’s Jack Bruce’s Yearbook Photo!
Yes, it's Cream legend Jack Bruce's yearbook photo, taken at Bellahouston Academy when the future bassist and singer was just 11 years old.
Prior to his groundbreaking work alongside Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker in one of the most important supergroups in rock history, Bruce was a member of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and Manfred Mann. After Cream split up, he balanced his pursuit of a solo career with various collaborative projects. These included three stints in Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band and his most recent group, Silver Rails, which also featured Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid.
Bruce passed away on Oct. 25, 2014, at the age of 71. Clapton quickly hailed him as a "tremendous influence" and shared a new song entitled 'For Jack' in honor of his fallen friend.
