I´m so sorry about this... These are really painful moments for the family, and friends. My support and best wishes for her girlfriend and for them.
This is a great loss for the whole metal communitty. I know hundreds of thousands people in the world are crying now, but please think (I know it`s not console) we will never forget him and everytime a metal or rockhead is listening to, or playing, or singing a Gotthard song, Steve wil be there with us!
