"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.

[citation needed] "Tearing Us Apart" was a duet with Tina Turner and was released as the second single from the album in mid-1987, following "Behind the Mask".

Clapton resurrected the song for his 11-night residency at the Royal Albert Hall in May/June 2011 and his European/South American tours from February 14 to October 16.

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, among others, Phil Collins, Elton John, Mark Knopfler, Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart, and Paul McCartney.

The live version was later released on the Royal Concert charity album in 1987, issued by The Prince's Trust.
