"He was trying to numb the past, dull the present and look for comfort in the future. He found it there and it killed him": Dan Aykroyd on the tragedy of John Belushi and the making of The Blues Brothers

Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi on the set of The Blues Brothers.

Writer Darren Weale spoke with actor and screenwriter Dan Aykroyd and to some of the musicians involved with the late John Belushi and the Blues Brothers: Curtis Salgado, Steve Cropper, Tom ‘Bones’ Malone and Lou Marini. It's quite a story.
