Roxette returns to SA

Cape Town - Roxette will be returning to South Africa as part of their world tour in 2011.

"If you'd asked me a couple of years ago,  if there would ever be a new Roxette tour I would have very quickly said 'No!'," says singer, guitarist and songwriter Per Gessle.

"Knowing what Marie (Fredriksson, lead vocalist) had to go through in recovering from her severe illness, this is not only unbelievable, it seems almost magical to me. It will be wonderful to meet all our audience on Planet Earth again."

Besides the tour, Roxette fans can look forward to a brand new album in the first quarter of 2011.
 
Roxette hit international fame in the late 80s with The Look from the album Look Sharp! Since then the band has regularly featured on album and single charts all over the world with songs like It Must Have Been Love, Listen to Your Heart, Joyride, How Do You Do!, Dangerous, Fading like a Flower and Dressed For Success. They have sold over 75 million albums.
