"Dan Aykroyd has discussed his relationship with the late John Belushi in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the comedian&amp;#039;s death. John was found dead in his Hollywood hotel room on March 5, 1982 after an overdose of heroin and cocaine, but Aykroyd revealed that his Blues Brother co-star had been committed to becoming sober just months before he passed away.   &amp;quot;The last summer of his life [in 1981], not a powder nor a pill did he touch. Nothing,&amp;quot; Aykroyd told CNN. The comedian continued: &amp;quot;He just smoked a little [weed], that&amp;#039;s it. If he&amp;#039;d been a pothead, he&amp;#039;d be alive today.&amp;quot; John was buried in Martha&amp;#039;s Vineyard in a traditional Albanian Orthodox Christian service, which was attended by Aykroyd, Jim Belushi and many other stars. Aykroyd has disclosed that he didn&amp;#039;t truly accept John&amp;#039;s passing until he sat alone just hours after the comedian was buried. &amp;quot;I was all alone, just for a period. There were guests around, but I had a moment\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6 and it started to snow,&amp;quot; he recalled. &amp;quot;The irony of that [was that] he died by the powders. It started to snow and that&amp;#039;s when my knees gave out. And not until then.&amp;quot; Aykroyd previously suggested that Belushi would have been a major star on Broadway if he&amp;#039;d have lived. &amp;quot;He was very intellectual, John, and he was very well versed in theatre and books and literature, science,&amp;quot; Aykroyd said in December 2010. &amp;quot;He would be probably one of the top Broadway directors, doing really, really special work, doing Shakespeare, doing Congreve, doing Shaw.&amp;quot; John was survived by wife Judith Belushi at the time of his death. &amp;gt; Dan Aykroyd &amp;#039;still misses John Belushi&amp;#039; Watch John Belushi in the very first Saturday Night Live sketch below (US only):  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
