Dear Friends
It was during the tour with U.D.O. which I first heard the Gotthard.
But it was at the Sweden Rock Festival as I grip of the great sounds of the Gotthard and Steve's amazing vocals. Many bands today do not understand the importance of a good singer. The music I heard was my very personalized. The feeling conveyed in the singing and the music described my personality in a very good way. The news of Steve's death was therefore very personal.
I saw you then play in Gothenburg in 2009, which also was a fantastic experience.
The news of Steve's death took me with sadness and tears. Can not understand why this band that I have come to worship perhaps will not exist any more. At least not in the format that I know Gotthard.
With this text, I send my thoughts to Steve's family and the band.
A loss like this often feels very heavy and sad. But we must not forget all the joy that Steve spread Among fans and others through song. This is what we should rejoice and remember a heavy period like this.
To the members of the Gotthard, try to find a way back, even if right now it feels heavy. I think Steve would have liked this. If you do not, then all the joy you spread together over the years somehow undone work.
Thank you!
