Per Gessle posted on Roxette Official Facebook page a clip with Malin Ekstrand and Helena Josefsson singing together the backing vocals yesterday. We were informed that Malin is due to perform as Helena’s replacement on Kiev (March 10) and Minsk (March 12) gigs as Helena has to come back to Stockholm those days.
Thanks to Evgeny Perekopskiy for this information.

Warsaw gig in Torwar hall for around 8,000 people on June 19th is sold-out – Eventim.pl and Live Nation Poland‘s websites inform. This is the 10th sold-out show on 2011 Roxette World Tour.
Update: In fact it’s the 12th sold-out show as Sofia and Gothenburg were moved to bigger venues.
Per Gessle was interviewed by ZDF yesterday and this is one of his quotes:
If we’re lucky I think the tour will go on next year as well. Because it’s a big world and there seem to be a lot of opportunities for Roxette. People seem to have missed us, which is fantastic.”
P.S. Roxette was a trending topic on Twitter yesterday!
Live Nation Sweden has sent a press release earlier this morning which states that there is another concert in South America – this time in Uruguay’s capital Montevideo. No other details were given.
