Great Voice From This Man..Will Be Greatly Missed

Purtroppo accade in un solo momento cio che non vorremmo che accadesse mai... il vostro dolore è anche il nostro... il caro Steve vivrà sempre nei nostri cuori... grazie alla sua voce che ci ha accompagnato nei momenti felici e quelli piu tristi... le piu sincere condoglianze... grazie Steve... grazie Gotthard

Es ist hier schon alles gesagt und geschrieben worden! Und auch noch nach den letzten Tagen fehlen mir einfach die Worte....

Ich wünsche Dir Brigitte, allen Angehörigen, der Band und auch den Fans viel Kraft um diese schwere Zeit durch zu stehen!
Mein aller tiefstes Beileid!

Steve Lee wo immer Du bist, wir sind bei Dir in unserem Herzen und mit unseren Gedanken!
Ein Text aus Deinen super Liedern war einmal:
"..hope you'll remember me each n' every day.."
And I swear we will not forget you Steve!

Tanks for the good Time with you!

In tiefer Trauer

Stefan

Oh dear. In times like these people come together closer than they ever thought possible. Why is this? I never met Steve. I've seen him sing a few times in the UK. He seemed a genuinely nice man. A very, very talented man. Great stage presence and a voice to match. He became one of my top 3 vocalists along with Ronnie James Dio and Bon Scott. His charisma, his passion, his zest and love of music and life will hopefully live on in past Gotthard music. Perhaps once the greiving has gotten easier (if there is such a thing) the band will come together and carry on in his name. Is this what Steve would`ve wanted?...I truely hope so. No one can ever replace such a figure and who would want to. Singers come and go. Bands split and make up. Time is a healer. Music is a comfort and a joy. Remember Steve for what he is. Remember Steve for what he was. He along with his friends ( the band ) are what makes the world go round.

You were a giant among giants.
You had the voice that could reduce a person to tears.
Such love and affection in a voice that will never be forgotten.

Respect to a man who died doing what he loved.
Music and motorcycles. A man after my own heart.

Rest in peace BIG MAN.

Goodbye, Steve Lee

I am deeply sad for the loss of GOTTHARD singer STEVE LEE, whose music accompanied me for many years of my life. His voice and music carry uncountable dreams and longings of mine, for many years he sang me into sleep. Many songs riminded me of a train leaving to the far away land of happiness.
For the last years, their music was not important to me anymore, but the news of Steve's death hit me in the depth of my heart! I was hoping to meeting them again one day, experience them as musicians and as men again during my adult life.
From Steve's death I've learnt that the last moment can be anytime, so let us not hesitate to live and to love in the moment, right now! Let us not wait for tomorrow, let's do it right now! And always remember to share and to show your love to your beloved ones, because their or your last moment might be right now.
Feels like I've lost a friend, a mentor, an idol, a relative, a love.
And let me also tell you the story behind these feelings: On October 4th I was driving off to Oulu, packed some CDs to listen during the long car trip, amongst Dial Hard, GOTTHARD's second album, which I hadn't listened to for years. On 5th, Steves day of death, I threw in the CD and listened to their music with new ears, so to speak. I was thinking a lot about the voice and the man behind this incredibly powerful voice. So I did on 6th. I spent two days intensively thinking about Steve, when my friend Denise sent me the shocking and unbelievable message of his death. I was completely devastated, and have been listening to their music, reading all texts and watching all films I could find on the net ever since, trying to understand. But no use. Losing a beloved one only shows the absurdness of life.
Sometimes, for some people, music can fill up an emptiness inside you, it might save your life, change your life, allow you to project all your anger, hate, happiness and love onto it. Music gives you comfort in sadness, power to hold on, hope for love and security, and sometimes it can mean a whole world to you. - This is what the music of GOTTHARD meant to me for many many years of my life, and Steve's voice carried a great part of those very feelings, of my inner world.
Thank you for teaching me these first steps of freedom, these first steps of life.
