Tearing Us Apart is a song recorded by English blues/rock guitarist and singer Eric Clapton on his 1986 album "August", produced by Phil Collins. "Tearing Us Apart" was a duet with Tina Turner and was released as the second single from the album in early 1987, following "Behind The Mask". Over the years, the song has been included on several setlists of Clapton's live appearances in the late 1980s and the 1990s, performed by another famous female vocalists such as Katie Kissoon, Tessa Niles and Sheryl Crow.

Turner and Clapton performed the track as part of the 1986 Prince's Trust All-Star Rock Concert in London's Wembley Arena to celebrate the first 10 years of the Trust, then with a band including Phil Collins, Elton John, Mark Knopfler, Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart, and Paul McCartney to name but a few. The live version was later released on the "Royal Concert" charity album in 1987, issued by The Prince's Trust.

A second live recording of the track from Tina Turner's 1986/1987 "Break Every Rule Tour" with Clapton guesting on guitar and vocals was later included on her 1988 album "Tina Live in Europe".
