Roxette arrived to Kiev, Ukraine yesterday on December 5, 2011. It’s the second time this year where the duo will play a concert in this city. It’s also the final World Tour 2011 gig before next step in New Zealand in February 2012.
Ukraine media reports about “extra-ordinary” requests from Roxette’s side, which turns out as standard and totally unsuprising to those who know what the tour live means. Additionally, journalists inform about group’s will to inspect the audience for video recorders or even cell phones – according to Potok.ua all sort of recording equipment is forbidden. And if people bring significant number of such devices, the concert may be even cancelled – yes, don’t belive in what papers write.
Update: It turned out that Roxette came in the rox jet on the concert day – I told ya, check your sources!
Tabloids are like this. Segodnya.ua released word-by-word the same article a few days ago.
Anyway, an other one reported about modest requests, like simple white minivans for traveling.
I think this “extra ordinary” could be true in one way or another.
It’s a matter WHO thinks it is extra ordinary. People in Ukraine are poor – so it’s probably decatent that Roxette is ordering a couple of bottles of expensive champagner where one bottle is about the salary of a worker there. Think about that.
I did some research.
The average salary in Ukraine is 1,735 Grywnja which is approx. € 228 which is NOTHING!
No wonder, the things Roxette wanted were “extra ordinary”.
