Per and Marie have posted following message on their official website:
Toodiloo all Roxers!
2009 turned out to be a killer year after all!
Per’s small but heartwarming Party Crasher Tour around Europe in the spring was followed by the huge and glorious Rox comeback at the Night of the Proms.
Thanks everyone for your support (appreciated!) and for those loud voices in the front row (interesting!).
Also, we started recording a new Rox-album on the road. So far so good but there are, of course, lots more to be done. And for next year we have even more mighty plans. Will let you know what’s goin’ on in Roxville before long. But for now we wish y’all a great xmas och a extraordinarily swell new year. See ya around the corner.
Cheers from Marie & Per.

We got this article from Steve from Australia. Thanks Steve!
Roxette, in particular Marie Fredriksson, has made the “Hummingbird 100“. The countdown is an all female list and is run in conjunction with Australian Music Channel “MusicMax”.
Four Roxette tracks made the list, “It Must Have Been Love”, “Listen To Your Heart”, “The Look” and “Joyride”. Pink, meanwhile, claims the most spots of any female artist with seven tracks inside the 100. Beyonce, Roxette and Madonna both have four and Blondie, Rihanna and Alanis Morissette have three apiece.
The poll results have been picked up by several Australian online news sites including Queensland’s “Courier Mail“.
The most popular blogger and the owner of one of the most popular gossip-websites in the world PerezHilton.com published a little report on Roxette’s “Night of the Proms” gig in Rotterdam.
That is what we call the day’s information!
P.S. Who really cares about the typos? 😉
On September 30 “Kvarteret Skatan – I nöd och lust” show has its premiere at Rival in Stockholm with subsequent celebrity mingle.
The popular TV humor program “Kvarteret Skatan” turned into an entertaining stage show about love, marriage and relationship tangles. Another participants, among others, were comedians Johan Glans and David Batra. Many celebrities were on hand to get themselves a laugh.
Update: Thanks to crashroxer we get one more picture from that evening and thanks to Evegeny – there is a little interview with Marie from Swedish Radio.
