Gessle: “Crown Princess has an extremely good taste”

by

Per Gessle has officially confirmed that Roxette will play on Victoria’s pre-wedding party on Friday, June 18th, Expressen reports. “Crown Princess has an extremely good taste, Per Gessle comments to Expressen.

He took part in the official banns of marriage ceremony, where Victoria and Daniel received gifts and presents from invited guests e.g. Sweden’s Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt. The ceremony took place on Sunday afternoon, May 30th. Gessle came to the castle with a large silver package. When Aftonbladet’s reporter asked what’s inside, Gessle just laughed and answered “It’s a puppy“. Per Gessle was very happy when he came out of the castle afterwards and told Expressen that the dainty sandwitches were very good. He did not want to reveal any other details around the performance, since it would be no fun.

Problems with the official Roxette shop?

by

We got this e-mail from one of fans – Andreas from Germany. If you had this same kind of trouble with Roxette official shop, just let us know.

In January I ordered some items via the official Roxette merchandise shop in the UK. One item was not delivered, so I tried to get a reply since then. You can read my massages to he official Roxette Merchandise shop bellow. I write this because there might be more fans who have problems like this and I am confused how the “official” shop is treating people who spend their money on Roxette.

UPDATE: We got another e-mail from Andreas where he informed us that after 3 months of waiting, he finally got the missing item.

Taken from Helena Josefsson’s official website:

Just a small update!
Recording and composing with Sandy Mouche gives me a lot of joy in between the exam- studies.
No news about the solo-album so far.

Singing backing vocals with Roxette when our Princess gets married!

Now I´ll pick up my sun-beam-boy at his grand mother.

Have a fine day!
Helena
