I was stunned and deeply saddened when I read the news of Steve's passing. Through internet technology I discovered Gotthard in 2005 and immediately began collecting Gotthard CD's and DVDs, and have been a huge fan ever since. Steve's vocals are amazing and the emotion he sings with is second to none and makes for enjoyable, addictive, and memorable songs. It's been said that that music and song are the soundtracks of our lives, and Steve and Gotthard has proven to been that for me. My heart goes out to Leo, Marc, Hena, and Freddy, and Steve's family and friends. Steve and Gotthard have a lot of caring fans in the USA who share this loss.
Steve, you will be missed...and always remembered as your music will live on. Thank you Steve.
