Dear Steve and the guys from Gotthard,
first of all, my prayers and genuine respect go to you all.
This tragedy hits me personally as 2010 has been a very tough year for me and the music world in general.
6 Months ago me and my band/friends suffered form the tragic and suddedn loss of our friend/former bassist Antonello. 32 years old and life switched off.
Then the news of R.J. Dio passing away one of Antonello's hero who he was looking forward to seeing in concert with H&H.
then Pete Steele from TON, another Antonello's hero.
We went to see Gotthard live in Rome last october, altogether celebrating GOTTHARD and STEVE.
This band means so much to us,with their music and their fantastic people.
Steve will be for ever our idol and friend as he alwasys spent time to have a chat with everybody, full of enthusiasm.
He will be sadly and heavily missed.
RIP and God bless your soul!!!
To the guys from the band.
Never surrender!!!
ciao
Fabrizio
