(Gibson) Gotthard have named Swiss-born multi-instrumentalist Nic Maeder as the successor to singer Steve Lee, who died in a motorcycle accident last year.Maeder grew up dividing his time between Switzerland and Melbourne, Australia. The band began their singer search nine months ago, sifting through applications from all over the world. "Nic not only has a great voice and is a fantastic musician, but we also have a great person in our midst," guitarist Leo Leoni said. "We can rock again at last."
Drummer Hena Habegger said, "The search took a long time but it was clear to all of us when we met Nic that he was the right guy. With him we can enjoy the music again and celebrate new success. I'm really happy that we are continuing." more on this story
