The struggling marriage (mostly due to Stevie Ray's alcoholism and drug addiction) ended in 1988, and he never had any children with her or anyone else. He named his guitar "Lennie" after her, though.

He also played on Bowie's Let's Dance.
SRV, as he bacame known as, died on August 27, 1990 in a helicopter crash on the way to Chicago from a concert in Alpine Valley, East Troy, Wisconsin. He is buried at Laurel Land Memorial Park in South Dallas. He was the younger brother of Jimmie Vaughan.
