Steve Lee. In Memoriam.

Hace ya tres semanas de la trágica noticia de la defunción del gran Steve Lee, vocalista de Gotthard. Una noticia que recorrió el mundo como la pólvora, afectando a todos los amantes del hard rock. Ya le dediqué el primer programa de esta nueva edición de Ondas Subversivas, pero merecía un espacio completo.  

Mientras hacía una ruta en motocicleta por EE.UU, estacionados para ponerse ropa para no mojarse en carretera, un camión arrolló el grupo en el que iba. Existe una página web donde podéis dejar vuestras condolencias y recuerdos a los familiares de Steve. Aquí os dejo el enlace.


A continuación enlazo un vídeo en directo, grabado por mí mismo, en el concierto que dieron en la sala Bikini de Barcelona.



¡HASTA SIEMPRE, STEVE!

Aquí os dejo el texto original de la noticia, en inglés:


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


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.
