Steve worked from 1987 to 1988 on the Hysteria tour as the bands boffin/electronics expert and was involved in helping with Rick Allen's drumkit on the road. He sadly died after a motorcycle accident before one of the two shows the band played in East Troy, Wisconsin on July 16/17th 1988 now 20 years ago.

Interview Quote - "Amongst the figures, though, the band were still courted by tragedy. In July, road crew member Steve Cater died of a brain haemorrhage before a show in Wisconsin."
