Clifford Lee Burton (February 10, 1962 – September 27, 1986) was the late bassist for popular thrash metal band Metallica from 1982 through 1986. He was killed in a bus accident while promoting the band's third studio album, Master Of Puppets in Sweden. The bus supposedly hit a patch of black ice, causing it to slide off the road and flip multiple times before Burton was thrown through the window and crushed beneath.
