Swiss rock star Steve Lee dies in motorcycle accident in the US.
Nevada, United Stated (GenevaLunch) – Steve Lee, 47, lead singer of the Swiss classic-rock group, Gotthard, has died after being hit by a tractor-trailer on a Nevada highway.
Lee, who performed just two weeks ago at the Miss Switzerland pageant, was in a US cross-country trip that had just begun on Sunday 3 October.
According to the Public Information Officer of the Nevada Highway Patrol, Lee and the group of bikers had stopped on an emergency lane on Interstate 15, to put on their rain gear, when a tractor-trailer skidded into his parked motorcycle which then hit Lee, killing the singer instantly.
The accident occurred between Mesquite and Las Vegas.
Gotthard’s official website said Lee had flown to the US along biker friends to fulfill a long-cherished dream for which “he’d never had the time, due to his heavy touring schedule.”
“It was to be two weeks through the States on a Harley Davidson. The 21 Swiss bikers started their journey on Sunday on 12 motorcycles.”
Stefan Alois Lee, was born on 5 August 1963, in Zurich to a British father and Swiss mother and was raised in the Ticino where he started what has been called the “most successful Swiss band of all times.”
His management company, Bottom Row Promotion, said: “We have lost not only one of the world’s best rock voices but also a good friend.”
Lee was described as a “down-to-earth person who always met people around him with respect.”

Get your motor runnin' Head out on the highway Lookin' for adventure And whatever comes our way Yeah Darlin' go make it happen Take the world in a love embrace Fire all of your guns at once And explode into space
I like smoke and lightning Heavy metal thunder Racin' with the wind And the feelin' that I'm under Yeah Darlin' go make it happen Take the world in a love embrace Fire all of your guns at once And explode into space
Like a true nature's child We were born, born to be wild We can climb so high I never wanna die
