Remembering Steve Clark.

20 years ago today, original Def Leppard guitarist Steve Clark passed away at his home in Chelsea, much too soon at the age of 30. Here is a little note from Steve's former guitar technician (and current Leppard tour manager) Malvin Mortimer, remembering Steve.

I have a black and white framed photograph of Steve Clark with my daughter when she was 4 or 5 years old, sitting on the floor together playing with her toys in Holland during the recording of HYSTERIA. My girls were visiting at my hotel room and he came to ask them to forgive him for keeping their dad away from home for so long. He loved my kids and they loved him because he always had time for them.

There are many photographs that evoke memorable moments for me.

He was a very gentle hearted man, always ready with a good word to say about anyone whenever it was deserved. Always a smile at the ready and a quick sense of humor to boot. We laughed a lot, he and I. He was a very kind and generous man.

I hope you will all join me today as I dedicate a few quiet moments to my friend Steve Clark

Hasnt time flown by quick.
R.I.P Steve.

Never was and still not a huge Leps fan, but I can acknowledge and mourn the passing of someone who was at the forefront of keeping british rock ahead of the rest of the world. R.I.P.

Well said Ian.
Lovely guy, great talent. I can still remember hearing he'd died on the radio.
How time flies. 20 years already. Wow, I wonder where we'll all be in 20 years from now ?

Well said.

Def Leppard have never been the same since Steve's passing.

RIP Steve.

Def Leppard has some cool songs, though I must admit I'm not a big fan of theirs.
