So sad to hear this. My deepest condolences to Steve's family and friends.

Du kannst Tränen vergiessen,
weil er gegangen ist.
Oder Du kannt lächeln,
weil er gelebt hat.
Du kannst die Augen
schliessen und Beten,
dass er wiederkehrt.
Oder Du kannst die Augen
öffnen
und all das sehen,was er
hinterlassen hat.

Wir sind in Gedanken bei der Familie,bei der Lebensgefährtin,bei den Kindern,bei der ganzen Band und bei den Fans.Wir beten für Sie,dass Sie die Kraft und den Zusammenhalt und die Liebe Sie stärkt in diesen schweren traurigen Stunden.

Dear Friends
My name is Paweł Sarnau and I*m very big fun Gotthard. On every friday in the Radio Centrum 106.4 FM in Poland (www.rc.fm) from 23.00 to 24.00, I have my hard n Heavy show. Many times I was playing a Gotthard songs and polish metal fans was very happy in that time. When I heard this terrible news, I was in shock. I could not believe it! Now, after a few days, I know that its really truth. We lost a great hard rock hero with a one of the best voice in history of hard rock music. It*s a great loss for us and his family.
I know that Steve sings now, up there with others who have left us. will certainly be happy there. but we, down here we are sad that he is no longer with us and we will not hear a single new song with his voice. for me will forever remain a super view of a man with a wonderful voice.
"One life, one soul". Best fan from Poland. Paweł "Metalmaniak" Sarnau.

We have lost a wonderful man and a brilliant musician . I am so sad it has been over a week and still cannot believe he is gone . My prayers go out to his family and friends . God Bless You Steve ! RIP my friend.

Su musica me ha acompañado muchas horas de entrenamiento para la preparación del maraton de New York. Le dedicaré la carrera.
Era un extraordinario cantante, al que tuve ocasión de ver en Madrid hace pocos meses.
Siento enormemente su perdida. Espero que el grupo se reponga y le dedique un disco muy, muy pronto.
Descanse en paz.
