On This Day in Def Leppard History - 23rd April, the following concerts and events took place. Including the birth of original guitarist Steve Clark in 1960 who would have celebrated his 55th birthday today.
A local fan in Sheffield posted a photo of his gravesite earlier today.
The band performed twice on Steve's birthday. In 1979 when he turned 19 and again in 1980 on his 20th. Steve sadly passed away in January 1991 during the recording of the 'Adrenalize' album.
