Livestage TV has had a chance to talk with the Man from Roxette just before yesterday’s Stockholm concert in Globen. Here is what Per said during the interview:
– hopefully 1.5 mil tickets will be sold once the tour ends
– this tour should last till September-October 2012
– there will be Gyllene Tider reunion in future
– the new album is called “Tourism II” and it will be released in March; this album will be finally mixed in January
According to our sources, Roxette have decided not to film the forthcoming Barcelona concert despite previous announcments. It does not mean that the DVD project is cancelled – it is very likely that recording of the concert will take place in 2012 – somewhere outside Europe.

Thanks to Danilo Roxette for sending this through.
After receiving golden records in Germany, Czech Republic, Sweden and Russia, Roxette finally got this award in Switzerland – just before the Zurich concert. Have a look at picture below.
