>Stevie Ray Vaughn's death

On August 27, 1990, the guitar virtuoso played the last show of his life. A few hours later, he was killed when his helicopter crashed because of a thick fog that which hampered the pilot’s visibility.

 

Eric Clapton invited Steve Ray Vaughan and his band Double Trouble to open two shows at the Alpine Valley Music Theater in East Troy, Wisconsin. Minutes after leaving the scene, he was dead ion the crash.

 

In the previous afternoon he had performed along with Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton and his older brother Jimmie Vaughan.

 

Four helicopters were at the musicians’ disposal, and Stevie found an empty seat in a helicopter with some members of Clapton’s crew, and decided to go. Clapton almost took the helicopter as well, but decided to stay. As a result of the overcast sky and the heavy fog, Stevie’s helicopter turned the wrong way and hit an artificial ski slope. There were no survivors, and blues rock had lost one of its greatest exponents. Stevie Ray Vaughan is buried in Laurel Land Memorial Park, in Dallas, Texas.
