Tragic Details About John Belushi Explained

"Saturday Night Live" has seen some great comedians perform at its historic Studio 8H. But part of the reason why it’s such an iconic comedic institution was because of its seven original cast members. One of its most talented original members was John Belushi. During his time on the show, Belushi developed a series of characters that received immediate success.

But as quickly as his star rose it also quickly faded out because Belushi struggled with drug addiction, which eventually led to his death in 1982. Here are the tragic details of John Belushi.
