Steve Lee fallece en accidente de tráfico

Tremendo mazazo el recibido en toda la escena Hard Rockera: Steve Lee, cantante de los suizos Gotthard ha fallecido en un accidente de tráfico:

According to the Swiss daily newspaper Blick, vocalist Steve Lee of Switzerland's hard rock veterans GOTTHARD was killed in a motorcycle accident in Nevada. He was 47 years old.

Lee died yesterday (Tuesday, October 5) after being clipped a semitrailer shortly after 4:00 p.m., Nevada Highway Patrol spokesman Joe Fackrell said, according to KVVU-TV.

Fackrell said a group of motorcyclists — which included Lee's girlfriend, Brigitte Voss-Balzarini, and GOTTHARD bassist Marc Lynn — had stopped on the side of northbound Interstate 15, about 50 miles north of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Lee died at the scene, Fackrell said.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.

Triste noticia. Vi a Gotthard hace unos años en Barcelona, Razz 2, presentando Domino Effect, y si algo caracterizaba a este crack sobre el escenario era su energía y simpatía. A Gotthard les costó sudor y sangre el reconocimiento fuera de su país, pero al final lo consiguieron. Lamento profundamente su muerte, musicalmente hablamos de uno de los mejores frontman de Europa en la actualidad.
