Just rumours: no new (Roxette) songs with Jonas Isacsson in the end

by

In case you are wondering, there is some information spread in Facebook which seems not to be true.

According to the fan, Jonas Isacsson told in an interview broadcasted on Sirius Radio on August 14 that Per Gessle has recorded three new demos. Jonas explained that the songs are “for sure” for Roxette and that he was called to play the guitar base for these songs because Christoffer was busy touring with Roxette.

See what Jonas said about this:

Update, August 17: We contacted Jonas and he disclaims the report:

I have not done an interview for sirius radio, and I don’t know anything about 3 new songs. I’m afraid it’s all made up.

“This is the perfect book for any toilet in the world”

Jan Gradvall* and Björn Nordström, two authors of “Tusen svenska klassiker” (Thousand Swedish classics) – a new bible for all those who love Sweden and are interested in its music, were interviewed lately by Sven Lindström and Per Gessle on “Nordic Rox” at American Sirius Satellite Radio.

Norstedts, the publishing company, got the rights to publish this interview on its website and now you have a chance to listen to 7-minutes programme. And yes, the news title was taken from Per Gessle’s opinion 🙂

* Yep, he was the guy behind the liner notes in RoxBox as well as the author of forthcoming book on another Swedish band – kent.
