News about the upcoming Roxette biography

by

As revealed some months ago, Swedish author Sven Lindström (“Att vara Per Gessle” in 2007) is preparing a new biography about Roxette. An interview with “Sydsvenskan” now confirmed the ongoing work. He visited Roxette at the South American tour and is now waiting for more interviews to complete the book for a likely release in 2013. Sven about the project:

It’s a pretty unlikely story, both about how they broke through, and how they came back a few years ago. There will also be an insight into the fans’ relationship to the band.

It is a dramatic story that this band has been through, and I think it will be quite surprising when you see the big picture. They have done a trip like no band in Sweden have done.

Gyllene Tider new album and tour next year?

by

Per Gessle tells in an interview with Expressen that he now wants to write in Swedish again and the best way to do it is with Gyllene Tider. This means new album and tour with Gyllene Tider, “maybe next year,” tells Per to Expressen.

He also comments that there will be more of this “new” Roxette (current Roxette set-up), even though he doesn’t mention when.

See you in Sweden (probably) next year!

Update: Per clarifies:

Hold your horses!!!!! Guess this reporter jumped the gun a bit. No decisions made that I know of. Sorry to disappoint.
