Two men behind “The Lonely Boys” project
I have never seen this interview, have you? Glory 90-ies! The clip comes from the tv show “Det kommer mera” and The Lonely Boys performed “Flowers on the moon” on that one.
Per Gessle: “I think there will be more Roxette tours in the future”
I have not listened to the X-mas interview with Per Gessle from P4 Halland yet, but from this what I read it seems the Man promised that there are going to be more tours from Roxette in the nearest future. 25th celebration in 2011 is not the bad idea, what do you think? 🙂
More at P4 Halland. A short translation will come up a little bit later, when I will be at home.
Edit: There is a possibility to listen to the whole interview here (about 5-6 minutes into this broadcast).
Update, December 29: The Daily Roxette offers a summary.
