I am shocked to hear about his untimely death, and so sorry.
My heart goes out to his family.
He was the most amazing front-man I've ever seen - (and I've seen Freddie Mercury in ´86) - and as a singer unrivalled by any of todays' artists!
Gotthard swept the legs of any band at Sweden Rock in 2008 when they entered the stage in full daylight and completely shocked thousands of rockfans that never had heard about them - I overheard a lot of people around me going: -What band is that? They're incredible! What a singer! etc.... I can assure you that it was a really masterful performance, with Steve at the front - rocking us all - like we´ve never been before!
He will keep singing and performing in heaven - much to the joy and fun for God and all the angels!
His fabulous stage-persona, and voice will be sorely missed by millions!
With regrets
