Almost five years ago, the other member of the Roxette duo, Marie Fredriksson passed away due to cancer. The duo last performed at their concert back in 2016. But now, the Frontman of the duo, Per Gessle who is also the songwriter and founder of the duo, is finally back to hit the roads again and deliver Roxette’s all-time classics to the fans worldwide.
Per Gessle says: “This is all about my Roxette songs, this huge bundle of music and lyrics. I’ve been writing for well over three decades. I’m not starting a new duo. Marie will always be irreplaceable. However, I’m really lucky to have found an amazing voice and a brilliant performer in Lena Philipsson.
Roxette – ‘Listen To Your Heart’
I co-wrote Lena’s first major hit back in 1986 and she’s one of the brightest shining stars Sweden has ever known. I’m extremely proud she wants to join me in my trek to keep the Roxette legacy alive.”
2025 is going to be an amazing year for the fans of the band and also the band itself, as they finally get on the stage and Per Gessle will do the thing that he loves the most, which is performing in front of their audience. They would be joined on the stage by Ms Lena Philipsson, who happens to be a Swedish Singer and Megastar.
Lena says about the tour: “I’m both excited and thrilled about embarking on this tour. I really look forward to working with Per – he is a phenomenal songwriter and a never-ending musical force.”
The band Roxette is going to have the members namely, Magnus “Norpan” Eriksson, Christoffer Lundquist, Magnus Börjeson, Jonas Isacsson, Dea Norberg and Clarence Öfwerman.
