Steve Clark, the lead guitarist for Def Leppard RIP.

A true friend and long time neighbour in Paris. We laughed and laughed and had some great times with friends.

Strangely, I had no idea about Def Leppard until I happened to meet Steve.

Steve spent time between 3 places. One was Paris, then he had homes in the UK and Ireland. He was chased after by the tax people so he kept moving from one place to the other.

There was his girlfriend Lorelei which I believed did not have a good influence on him. He liked going out without her. He was much happier when she wasn't around.

Then I noticed that it was way too long for him not to have come back to Paris - he had died.

I can't believe it's been all these years already.
