Thanks to Leonardo Furtado for sharing this news.
Roxette.se published this message from Marie and Per. What can we say. This year has also been amazing for many of us. I will personally never forget it. Thank you!!
Oh yeah!
2011 turned out to be something very special indeed. We don’t really know where to start! The ”She’s Got Nothing On”-single that made it all the way to the-4th-most-played-song-in-the-world for a couple of weeks? The Charm School album that felt like the perfect comeback for this young couple? Or The World Tour that kicked off in February? Oh yeah, let’s start there!
No one expected this kind of reception we got from you guys, we couldn’t even dream of filling huge arenas again. Almost 800,000 people came to the shows this year. That’s an awful lot of tickets!
And you know, we say it again and again, nothing would have been possible without the support, friendship, love + affection we get on a daily basis from YOU; The Rox Aficionados all over the world!!! You make things so much easier.
We certainly hope we’ll meet all of you again in 2012. Looks like this tour will have another 65 shows to go before the finale in October. New cities + new countries are in the can as well as some jolly returns to favourite places.
And, hey, as we’re writing this… we’re just wrapping up the recordings of the new T2 – Tourism 2-album. It feels like we’re having a splendid one coming up, recorded while touring, filled with the positive energy from you + from the superb bunch of musicians we’re blessed to work with.
We la-la-la-la-love it! Have a feeling you’re gonna love it too!So, folks…..have a wonderful xmas + a mighty 2012.
Cheers,
Marie + Per

As Marie and Per inform in today’s Christmas wishes, there is still around 65 shows to go. So far – according to our counting – 41 concert are scheduled – 9 new countries are in (comparing to this year’s plan), 6 show are sold out at the moment. It means that at least 24 gigs are to be announced any time soon. When? Marie and Per don’t reveal that, unfortunately.
Those forthcoming concerts would probably cover Europe (late June – middle of August) and Canada (September/October?).
