was a Czech recording artist, and an amateur painter, considered the most successful male singer in the former Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic. He was voted the country's best male singer in the annual Český slavík (Czech Nightingale) national music award 41 times, most recently in 2017.
He achieved considerable success in the German-speaking countries, where he was known as "the Golden Voice of Prague", winning the Goldene Stimmgabel award three times (1982, 1984, and 1995).
Over the course of his career he released over 100 albums and 100 compilation albums, and sold an estimated 50–100 million records worldwide, 23 million of them in the German-speaking market, and about 15 million in Czechoslovakia and its successor states (the Czech Republic and Slovakia). He had two daughters (Dominika and Lucie) from different former relationships. He married his last wife, Ivana Macháčková, in January 2008 in Las Vegas, and they had two daughters, Charlotte Ella (born 30 April 2006) and Nelly Sofie (born 28 May 2008).
During the 1990s, Gott began to focus on painting. The first exhibition of his paintings took place in 1992, at the Prague Christ Child Gallery, and his work was since exhibited in Berlin, Moscow, Munich, Cologne, Vienna, and Bratislava.
In October 2015, he was diagnosed with a malignant cancer of the lymph nodes. On 18 March 2016 it was reported that he had recovered from cancer and was in remission. On 12 September 2019 it was announced that Gott was suffering from acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and was receiving treatment in Prague University Hospital. After almost three weeks, on 1 October 2019 he died in his sleep in the company of his family.
