“It has been a rough and difficult time and I am glad it is behind me now. I feel great! I really want to start working with Per again and most of all have a lot of fun together,” Marie said.
Per said that he and Marie would be back in the studio this summer, though he doesn’t know if they will record an entire album. However, they hope to release something NEW before the end of this year!

It was the late 1980s, and Roxette was at the height of its popularity. Their first big break was the album Look Sharp, which had the song “The Look” (which is still popular to this day) and Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson were unstoppable.
Now, 20 years later, Gessle and Fredriksson have been through their ups and downs, but that isn’t stopping the 20th reunion tour!
Gessle is hitting the road alone for the first time without Fredriksson, who grew ill in 2002 and continues to lay low. Gessle told BBC that he would love to continue with Roxette and is just waiting for Fredriksson to say the word.
“I would love to do more Roxette and I would love to do more recordings as well, because she’s a great person and a great singer, but I don’t want to push her at all. It’s really up to her. If she calls me up and tells me I’m ready, I’d say let’s go for it,” he said.
