How Steve Clark's Death Affected Def Leppard

When Def Leppard guitarist Steve "Steamin'" Clark died in January of 1991, he was on a six-month leave of absence from the group, trying to deal with a downward spiral in his life brought on by addiction. Clark's death of an overdose of a combination of alcohol and multiple prescription drugs, at the age of 30, was a shock to his family, friends, and the band � who were in the middle of recording the "Adrenalize" album.
