When I readed the news I couldn't belive...I was completly shocked. I couldn't belive how unfair this world is, and i'll never understand why the people who must give to others, must leave so soon...
I have had the opportunity to see Gotthard 3 times. Two in Spain and one in France. I have to say, that those concerts were one of the funniest i've ever been in my whole life. The connection with the public of Steve was amazing...and that's because he was a true person. I think he was one of that kind of people who tried to make the world a better place to be in, just by being himself, just by being a kind and happy person, and trying to make the people around him and the people who listen his music, feel the same. He allways tried to share his happyness and strengh with all the people. He never say no to a fan, to a photo, to a small chat....and always with a smile.
In a concert, we could feel that we were among friends, and watching some friends play. When we went out of a concert we were smiling. So now, we all feel that a great friend have leave us.
When this kind of people leave us, the world is a bit more sad and dark..
We will always remember you Steve, your personality and your music. We will never forget the feeling you gave us, and the moments you gave us.
Rest in peace good friend, hope you finally found your piece of heaven, cause your trully deserve it. You will always be in our hearts. Descansa en paz...

Von Madrid, Spanien schickte ihnen mein tief empfundenes Beileid und zu einem Umzug bewegen uns in diesen schwierigen Zeiten. Einstweilen so fantastisch, dass Steve gab uns als Musiker und vor allem als Mensch.

Ciao Steve

There's nothing to say but I'll miss you. You're a great source of inspiration for me. Could time heal the wounds in your family hearts.

I still can not believe he has gone, I heard the news at work and just sat in stunned shock, I was lucky to meet Steve and lucky that he sang offstage to me, words can not express the sadness within, he touched many peoples lives as fans and although we did not know him personally, he touched our hearts Which special people do and that makes his loss all the harder for us all He was too young to go ... in such a tragic way ...
I send my thoughts and love to all in Gotthard, his family and his girlfriend, I do not think we could ever know how hard this is for you, but I will send my love to try and help you, I know it's not much. ..
