Muere Steve Lee

Acabo de leerlo y no podía dejar este post para otro momento, tenía otras cosas en mente para retomar el blog después de una temporada sin internet, pero... no ha podido ser.

Ha muerto Steve Lee, cantante de Gotthard, a los 47 años en un accidente de moto.

Este es el comunicado oficial:

Dear Fans and Friends, the inconceivable is tragic reality – Steve Lee was killed in an accident yesterday

Steve was killed accidentally during a motorcycle trip in the USA on Interstate 15 between Mesquite and Las Vegas and died at the scene.

The GOTTHARD singer had flown to the U.S. with some biker friends just this weekend to fulfil a long-cherished dream for which he’d never had the time, due to his heavy touring schedule for many years. It was to be two weeks through the states on a Harley Davidson. The 21 Swiss bikers started their journey on Sunday on a total of 12 motorcycles. On Tuesday 5 October, about 50 miles from Las Vegas, the group had stopped at the roadside to put on their rain gear as it had started to rain. On the slippery road, the trailer of a passing truck began to skid. The driver attempted evasive action but his trailer clipped five of the motorcycles parked at the roadside; one of them hit Steve Lee. Rescue services attempted resuscitation but efforts were stopped after 20 minutes. At 16:13 local time, Steve Lee was pronounced dead.
Among the passengers were bassist Marc Lynn and Steve’s partner Brigitte Voss Balzarini. All other fellow riders were unharmed. Steve Lee was 47 years old.

With Steve Lee, we not only lose one of the world's best rock voices but also a good friend who due to his sensitivity and down-to-earth personality always met the people around him with respect.

It will take some time till we fully understand what has happened.

Our heartfelt thoughts are with his family.

Otra voz impresionante que no volveremos a escuchar, tenía un directo cojonudo. Os dejo con 2 videos del único concierto de Gotthard en el que estuve, en octubre del año pasado en la RockStar Live de Barakaldo:

One life, one soul: una de sus mil baladas, qué calidad, qué qué qué...aaaaaaggg que rabia me dan estas cosas!!!!!!!

I know,you know: un tema movidito para que veais como se curraba el tema, animaba un huevo, fueras fan o no, acababas siguiéndole

Bueno, nada más que añadir, nos queda toda su discografía que desde el 92 ya les ha dado tiempo a dejarnos unos cuantos cds... R.I.P Steve
