The whole clue is the definition (& lit or double definition).
How the clue works
Because of is the definition, meaning "on account of." DUE comes from "two performers" (DUET = two performers, minus T) — wait, let me reconsider: DU (two, from French or musical) + ET (performers as in E.T.?) — actually, DUET means "two performers," and O is the "start to obfuscate" (first letter of Obfuscate), giving DUET + O = DUE TO.
