for whom did you sing happy birthday in brasil? :S
SOLD OUT- more than 25 000 to be expected!
NoNo… not the happy bday idea but the actions for setlist!
Romanian ‘women’s website’ egirl.ro published an article about the fans’ plan to celebrate Marie’s birthday:

And a TV repoprt aired this morning on Antene 1:

So silly.
So kind. So wonderful.
When I read this I was very proud of the whole Rox fandom. Are these kind of acts common in fan culture or are they rare and done for only to bands which are accessible to fans and appreciate them like Roxette (Marie wants to rest and doesn’t meet press – but she often meets the fans)?
I think it’s fairly possible this will really be surprise to her, the band members won’t tell, I guess.
There’s a Roxette Special on the Romanian channel UTV right now.

Singing the happy birthday is ok but things like rising paper sheets with blue stars is kinda pointless… Nobody else will notice that besides the 15 fans doing it.
