26 years ago today (8 January), original DEF LEPPARD guitarist Steve Maynard Clark passed away at his home in Chelsea, much too soon at the age of 30. Here’s a little note from Joe

It’s 26 years since Steve passed away ….. seems a lifetime ago now …. loved him then, love him still … & when I take the stage at the Brixton Academy on Sunday night at the Remembering David Bowie concert I shall also be remembering Steve Clark, like all our heroes , gone, but not forgotten …. – Joe

RIP ROCKLINE’S BOB COBURN

Posted on by admin

Bob Coburn, longtime host on Los Angeles rock station KLOS and the equally longtime host of the syndicated show ROCKLINE, passed away on Saturday, following a battle with lung cancer.  Read more about Bob HERE

“I don’t think I’ve ever been interviewed by anyone more passionate about music & supportive of the arts as Bob Coburn. He was a true gent & had probably forgotten more about music than most of us ever knew, a fantastic guy who will be sorely missed, rest in peace Bob, you deserve it” – Joe Elliott

“So very sad to hear of the passing of our old friend Bob Coburn earlier today. Bob was the voice of Rockline. He was a true champion of the genre, and an encyclopedic lover of the music. R.I.P. Bob. You will be missed by many.” – Vivian Campbell

Check out a sampling of the interviews Def Leppard has done with Bob throughout the years.
