Our hearts go out to the families and friends of Steve Lee, frontman of Swiss classic rock band Gotthard, who was killed this week in Las Vegas when a tractor-trailer lost control on a rainy road and skidded into him on his motorcycle.
Lee, 47, was in a US cross-country trip, when he pulled over with a group of motorists to put on some rain clothing on Interstate 15. A tractor-trailer skidded into his parked motorcycle which then hit Lee, killing the singer instantly. Gotthard’s official website said Lee had flown to the US along with 21 biker friends to fulfill a long-cherished dream for which “he’d never had the time, due to his heavy touring schedule.”
Police are calling the incident, which occurred between Mesquite and Las Vegas, a “freak accident.”
Letters of condolence can be sent to: Gotthard Music GmbH, Grossmatte Ost 2, CH-6014 Littau.
