On August 27, 1990 guitarist [Stevie Ray Vaughn]?, who was touring with Clapton, and two members of their road crew were killed in a helicopter crash between concerts.

A fraction of Clapton's grief was heard on the song "Tears In Heaven" (on the soundtrack to the movie Rush), which, like the MTV Unplugged album that followed it, won a Grammy award.
