Chris Roberts of the BBC got to review Roxette’s new album for the upcoming UK release. They get away pretty fine!
With a Hollywood-like sense of triumph over adversity, Roxette return with their first album since singer Marie Fredriksson was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2002. She recovered, and the Swedish power-pop duo seems appropriately exhilarated. …
A quick reminder – tonight Roxette will perform “She’s Got Nothing On” at the boxing fight Vitali Klitschko vs Oldanier Solis, which takes place in Lanxess Arena in Cologne. We just got to know that the fight is being broadcasted to not less than 120 countries (!).
Besides RTL – also on internet stream, where Roxette’s performance will be surely shown, here you can see a list of channels or websites which seem to broadcast the fight tonight and hopefully Roxette’s performance!
We need your help. The whole Roxette World Tour 2011 will be covered with such topics. If you find something connected with this particular part of the tour, post it in the comment section and we will add it to the article. Thanks for your help and cooperation!

Update March 18th – 13:45:
It seems the show has been cancelled. Marie suffers from laryngitis and can’t sing tonight.
BDG just confirmed the cancellation. The show has been rescheduled for July 18th. Your tix are still valid, of course.
We’ve been told Marie is just doing fine, it’s just that she cannot speak (and let alone sing). The performance tomorrow in Köln at the boxing fight is not cancelled.
Swedish NGO BRIS (Children’s Rights in Society) has started an auction via auction website Tradera as part of the organisation’s 40th anniversary. The auction includes some Roxette and Gyllene Tider items.
Other items are a Beatles package, football team tshirts, many other CDs or signed picture frames.
BRIS supports children in distress and is a link between children, adults and the community. All support services build on volunteer work and financial support, primarily from corporate cooperation and private persons, and to a small extent governmental grants.
Traderahas set up a special website for this campaign, where the auctions started yesterday, March 17th and will go on until March 31st. The collected money will be used for various help actions for children.
It’s not listed in the tour plan yet. But if you believe the newsletter, German ticket website Eventim sent out earlier today, there’s an additional show in Germany planned. This would be the first show of the autumn leg. The show in the Olympiahalle in Munich is listed for the 11th of October. The ticket sale starts tomorrow at 9 am.

UPDATE, 18/03/: The ticket sale started one hour ago and Munich is not on the list anymore. So maybe it’s simply not confirmed yet or Eventim just got wrong information.
