This news comes as a a severe shock to me, as, I believe, to the whole of the wide rocking world... I just opened up the Wikipedia page for Gotthard to share the information with my colleague, when the starting paragraph caught my eye and made me wince with anguish and disbelief... I must say that the world, and Steve's relatives in the first place, have lost a Genius. This is sad, so sad that I can't go on with this message... I must just express my grief and most heart-felt condolence for the one who's been blowing millions of minds since 1992...
