harriej said on August 28, 2007 20:57:
Really sad news, if it is really true that Roxette is over!
Roxette has been a big part of my life, i have met friends via Roxette!!
Their music will forever have a place in my heart!
Should this not be on the front page of the Daily Roxette??
Probably the saddest thing was to hear from those lovely lips, which so many times have made us fall in love with her, “I’m afraid that Roxette is over now. We have been there for so many years, now we would like to do new things”.
Icegirl said on August 28, 2007 21:01:
I’d perhaps sit back and wait for the official statement first...
whateveriam said on August 28, 2007 21:06:
Agreed. But, it does look a bit, you know, finite. Oh well, official word will come when it does!
’Even if I am in love with you. All this to say, what’s it to you?’
ncurran said on August 28, 2007 21:07:
I’d be sad if its true, but I’ll look forward to marie’s new solo album!
...on another note, it looks like the photos were taken outside marie’s house? If thats the case I think it is terrible that they just turned up on her doorstep wanting to speak to her!
Icegirl said on August 28, 2007 21:09:
Yes the interview or chat was done outside Marie’s house in Stockholm on the morning after the Stockholm concert... damn if I’d known Marie was making an appearence I’d gone there! **only kidding**
Still despite the news, the album will be something nice to look forward to!
abysmo said on August 28, 2007 21:12:
I Never Quite Got Over the Fact That the Roxette Broke Up
Took a walk by the main canal
I turned around
Made a left by your big brown house
I turned around
There was a song I heard
I knew I had to go
That’s me in the summertime…
That’s me in the summertime…
Really sad, if it´s true. Maybe there will come something official now. Looks like for the new solo album this autumn.

funny - on the other hand Micke and Marie told some fans the day before how great it had been in Spain this summer! :D
Neil: I agree.

I’m sure TDR can get this type of “interview” if we just had time to stand outside Marie’s house all day.

Better to read ’this type of interview’ than nothing... I really like it, thanks Blanca and Alex :)

Gachy said on August 29, 2007 09:16:
Seems like the almighty Rox-guru got offended. You are not the only one entitled to interview them, man.
Sascha said on August 29, 2007 10:37:
I wouldn’t put too much weight into that rox-comment. Who knows what has been said in which original language in which context?
Icegirl said on August 29, 2007 10:46:
@ Judith, I did wonder the same, I swear they said they had been to Spain this summer!
As for the interview, I still undecided to believe such things till it’s made official. I merely hope what is quoted it correct wouldn’t like anyone to get sued for libel or slander!
Anett said on August 29, 2007 13:00:
I do not belive this, Per Said in july that they would probably do something more with Roxette. And I really don´t think Marie would have said it that way, I doubt they know so well themselfs what the future will bring. It all sounds a bit strange to me.
coyboyusa said on August 29, 2007 13:51:
i wonder if she means nothing new, but that deiosn’;t rule out reissues of albums, new compilations and dvd’s, like i said there has to be alot we haven’t seen or heard just waiting to come out, but if they are indeed over it wouldn’t surprise me...and not for nothing tev but has tdr’s connections with roxette deteriorated so much that you would have to resort standing outside maries house in the first place?
frankie said on August 29, 2007 13:55:
‘resort standing outside maries house in the first place?‘ - so much for respecting her privacy. maybe she should get a guard dog and set it upon intruders like fans who hang around her house - save on the food bill!!
regn said on August 29, 2007 14:07:
She don’t seem to mind that much , BTW that wasn’t an interview
*I guess the guard dogs are rounded here on TDR...
Icegirl said on August 29, 2007 14:27:
@ coyboyusa
The interview has nothing to do with TDR, it’s appeared on a blog run by Spanish fans, it was a Spanish fan who was at Marie’s house…
pardek said on August 29, 2007 14:56:
I didn’t expect this information to hurt me so deep. I’m so sad, I can’t tell. Hopefully it’s not the last word... . Roxette is the very best. But all good things have to come to an end, I know. But I just hope it’s not now ;-)
ROXETTE 4 EVER
stars will show, where the waters flow...
Roxette-atic said on August 29, 2007 15:04:
Really sad that Roxette never really came back after Maries illnes. Theres only one thing I truly dont get; if Marie can record solo albums: Why not record with Roxette?
ncurran said on August 29, 2007 15:33:
Roxette and solo work are a different ball game.
Music always was and always will be a part of Marie’s life. She’s actually released quite a lot of music since her illness. There is a big difference between jamming in your home recording studio, and making music for fun......and a new Roxette album, which would probably mean months in a recording studio, pressure from a record company, promotion, etc.
thenicekai said on August 29, 2007 15:39:
Talking about a maybe(!) sad future of Roxette is one thing. Personally, I can live with the fact that Roxette is over. It would not be _such_ a big surprise now anymore. And somehow, life is going on and on anyway.
But what really bothers me is the way this “interview” was taken. A Spanish fan waits in front of Marie’s door, until she finally steps out and cannot do anything else but being friendly. (Imagine the headline: Marie sends her fans away, oh shame!)
Of course she smiled, of course she said nicely “Thanks” when the man gave her a present. What else would you expect?
Why does this man want to tell Marie, how she shall do her job? (quote: “Marie said that her favourite album was “Room Service” ... Alex did his best to convince that “Joyride” was the best!... the last compilation “The Greatest”...Alex told her that he would have liked a compilation of another Rox songs, not the same ones again… which forced Marie to dedicate him a sweet smile.”) Hej, of course she is satisfied with the compilation, it is a mirror of a great part of her life work. And that she only “smiled sweetly” is nothing else but a very friendly and professional “Oh boy, shut up”.
Let’s talk about the style the article was written.
“Marie was absolutely delighted to meet a member of the website she loves and takes good care of her, ... No need to say she was extremely kind ...to hear from those lovely lips, which so many times have made us fall in love with her...before finishing the wonderful date with our Queen Of Rain, she was immensely happy to know we all have liked her job in Mickael’s album... you will be in our hearts forever!”
Errrm. Any comments?
Just in case TDR has even been offered to publish this fan writing, I am glad they did not support this unprofessional bushwhacking.
Sorry, guys and dolls from the littlemarie, this is my very private opinion.
Freedom for Marie F.! ;-)
______________
Keep on thinking.
Anett said on August 29, 2007 15:57:
I agree, all this sound very strange. Can´t the TDR-team try to find out if it is really true about Roxette? I mean, if the thing about them not being in spain this year isn´t true so why should it be true about Roxette?
Icegirl said on August 29, 2007 17:06:
@ Roxette-atic
It’s not the recording with Roxette that I think is the problem, it’s the promo that comes along with recording an album in English which no doubt would be needed. Despite the fans wanting it a new Roxette album would still need promotion. It’s a bit different for Marie to record and promote in her own country – you cannot really compare it with something on the scale of Roxette!
@ thenicekai, I like the interpretation! Lol
Zelda said on August 29, 2007 19:02:
Ha ha! You said it it right thenicekay :)
I don´t believe in that statement about Roxette!
Marie 4ever!
Emil__BG said on August 29, 2007 19:25:
the “interview ” is strange .
In general it doesn’t say nothing new –you can put diffrent meaning in this words ..
The more important fact is that Marie came to see Roxette fans after the Per’s concert.
So she cares about them ..
Calm down!!
don’t urge someone to tell something that he or she actually don’t think in that moment
Nobody know what will bring feature...
Didn’t we think that Roxette ends long ago–but then 2 news song ,CD and DVD.
Roxette has enough hits and history and with solo projest they can keep the fire alive .Even if they make only one new Roxette song on for example every 5 years –it would be good enough for me..
Txiqui said on August 29, 2007 19:38:
Well i would like to say something, couse i recieved several mails today from people asking me if i had more pics from that supose interview. I went with my friends (12 spaniards we were in the front row) to per’s concert in stockholm but NONE of us is involved in this!. I have nothing to do with this, so please don’t ask me for the pics, ask BK as she is the one who knows the person who made it.
And about the “interview” well if you can call it interview , i wouldn’t belive much of it, i’d rather wait and see what the future brings.
:)
Icegirl said on August 29, 2007 20:15:
Must be annoying to get asked for photos like that! By the way where you the girl who gave Helena the T-shirt in Vasteras… :)
Gachy said on August 29, 2007 22:53:
WOW some people really need to get a life !
LOL, wise words! I totally agree.
Some people is saying the way Marie was asked about the photo was disrespectfull and all that. But nobody else witnessed it, how do they know? They are letting their imagination to fly too high, I guess.
thenicekai said on August 30, 2007 00:01:
Hehe, read the article, and tell me if this looks like as if anybody had asked Marie or her management for an official date for an interview. You need more imagination to see this scenario than seeing that a crazy fan was simply waiting at her front door all the time.
______________
Keep on thinking.
Jud (moderator) said on August 30, 2007 04:27:
Quoting myself:
Didn’t you know? now Marie makes appointments for interviews in front of her house. You know, then she only has to walk some steps instead of taking the car (taxi?) to the city, but she doesn’t have to cook coffee as she is not inviting the person in :D

I gave my t-shirt to Helena after vasteras concert, but i can’t see any problem with that.
And yes Icegirl is a bit anoying to open your mailbox and find people asking you for some pics that you didn’t take and asking you questions about something that you aren’t involved in, and something that you would have never done.
Icegirl said on August 30, 2007 07:01:
@ SVARTA666…. I want to say nothing with that, you took it the wrong way! Lol
@ Txiqui, I didn’t mean anything bad by it…. I thought it was cool you gave Helena a t-shirt she was impressed as well with it! In fact if it where not for you guys at Västerås I doubt Clarence and Helena would have made an appearance! ;)
Have a picture! :)

RobS said on August 30, 2007 09:15:
Agree with thenicekai.
In the end until we get an official press release from EMI or D&D i guess you can only speculate on what was actually said.
If the decision has been made and a release is forthcoming, then i’m wondering why Marie said anything other than the usual “still not sure, maybe oneday.”
I’m not saying that they are wrong, i just think that given the circumstances, Marie was put in somewhat of a predicament.
frankie said on August 30, 2007 09:23:
judith: ‘If a German would have done this, the poor GermanS would have been all killed. World is just up-side-down eh? ;D‘
she wouldn‘t need to killing them - the box on the gatepost is a ‘germanfan‘ detector and evaporates them if they get too close - a clever payback for the way they treated marie in the past.
(before you get nasty - what i‘ve said above is only a joke)
rox-kuryliw said on August 30, 2007 09:43:
Dont they like post in Germany then ? im not understanding curious now.
miss-misery said on August 30, 2007 10:20:
I know nothing about the officialness of that interview, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that Rox-statement was true. I don’t need any official statement to know that Roxette’s future is quite difficult.
And I guess that the only reason why that interview is written in such a strange way is that us, Spaniards, cannot speak or write in English properly. Sad but true :p

I hope that with Maries “new Album ” is true!!! And that with “Roxettes-End” not!!!!
dave cz said on August 30, 2007 15:14:
Marie is right if she says “we´ve been here for so many years”. We should remember them in their top form, it´s all about being able to say goodbye when you feel to be out of the form. I´m kind of sad when I watch last live Roxette performances ... Marie is not in her top form anymore.
abysmo said on August 30, 2007 16:44:
It’ s your point of view. I still believe that Per can write fantastic Roxette music (Opportunity Nox, Breathe, One Wish, Something In The System, ... Beatles Broke Up) and Marie still can beautiful sing (The Change, Min baste van, Familly Affair). Per’ s fantastic music and Marie’ s strong voice, what a great combination. I do belive that they are still able to record new fantastic album. Thank God that they have so many great songs, so we can commemorate. But sad that there is probably no chance for something new. What a pitty.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
dave cz said on August 30, 2007 17:20:
No doubt about Per can create new rox stuff and Marie can record her vocals perfectly, but ROXETTE is a live band, it´s about live performances, at least some mini-tour and being on the stage seems to be difficult for Marie in these days
rox-kuryliw said on August 30, 2007 17:34:
Funny dont you all think that roxette is a so called live band i agree with that, but strange no live cd or dvd within the last 10 years if ever ! Roxette could so easliy record another album though just touring around promoting it would be the only prob.
Icegirl said on August 30, 2007 17:43:
I think more than anything it comes down to the amount of time and energy that would need to be put into recording a new Roxette album, it would seem a lot of people really don’t understand what Marie has been through and the effect it still has on her health. Talk about GREED!
abysmo said on August 30, 2007 18:10:
I didn’ t talk about Marie’ s ablility to touring. The only thing I said was that I really like how they write (regarding Per - not solo but for Rox) - play - sing in the last years. I talked about ideas, creativity and ability to create as good songs as they did in the 90’ s. It was reaction to comment regarding that we should remember them at their best form. And I am saying that for me they are still in great form (their common work for Roxette in last 5 years), maybe not on top, but still very hight.
Txiqui said on August 30, 2007 18:52:
@Icegirl thanks for the pic! so you where there too!!! :) It was a great concert Helena and Clarence were really nice with everyone and really patient. By the way i’ve uploaded a few pics from that, you can see them in:

fridapeeples said on August 30, 2007 19:38:
the only things that impress me about this is 1: how lovely Marie looks, 2: how gracious she seems to be towards people showing up on her doorstep.
I hope others won’t take advantage of this in the future! After seeing this and her calmness at the Stockholm show (the video of that event is crazy- I would feel very tense surrounded by so many people)
I am happy to see how serene she has become lately.
I’m actually starting to feel a little badly for looking at all these photos. I would like to encourage people to respect Marie’s personal space, not the other way around.
Jud (moderator) said on August 30, 2007 19:50:
I still can’t get it in my head that people dare to show up at her home sweet (private) home and still make publicity about it. It can’t get more irresponsible. EVEN IF the chat would have been agreed upon (but then the whole thing wouldn’t be that intrepid or?) there are many many ways to write this in order not to encourage people. Even though, as said before, the whole article should be rewritten. @ LEO, you better don’t read it, you’ll get ill. Pitty they didn’t listen to you back then :D
Not even a German (don’t hate me ;)) would show this intrepid action to the whole community :O Anyway, as George Clooney says, “what else?” ;D

JUNROX_BR said on August 31, 2007 02:03:
Lately I noticed when Per and Marie don’t work together they are more productive. Of course I miss Roxette a lot, however I respect them, and I love enjoing their solo projects. Thanks Marie and Per!!! Love is all!

Some of my best penpals where German, in fact it was a German pal who first told me about this Swedish duo Roxette! lol
Emil__BG said on September 1, 2007 16:05:
yeep don’t turn it to fans war...
all german fans i know are very good people!!
back to the topic..
as Falco and spotrsfan said “from a financial point of view it is not really sensible to break up officially unless there has been a major argument or fight within the band”
I would say from any point of view split up is pointless and senseless..
Especially for such kind of band with positive energy and so on as Roxette ..
Do you even imagine a young man who is wondering what CD with love songs to buy for his girlfriend.
CD from the band which split up..
Nooot a very good choice :-))))))
Roxette first song was “neverending love”“
They are -I would say “neverending band!!”
Maybe the fire is not strong and constant like in the beggining but..they must be together forever!!!
miss-misery said on September 1, 2007 19:27:
Emil_BG, with all due respect, comments like yours make me wonder if people writing here are in their twenties (or thirties) or this is the website of a boyband for teenagers.
By the way, can any moderator tell us why the topic “Roxette is no longer - now what?” has been closed?? Just out of curiosity...

DownloadJunkie said on September 2, 2007 00:56:
I figure it has to do with my comment in that thread. You see, I am probably the elder in this group being closer to Per and Marie’s age than most of you. I have children as old and older than they do. I have followed their careers since day one. I have also suffered a brain illness as Marie and have survived. I probably have a greater working knowledge of how she feels than most of you. After an event as that, your whole life receives a total evaluation. Things that were once important are no longer pressing. This is **NOT** a bad thing. I was not being negative, just understanding her feelings. When the brain is injured, it takes time. Lots of time. Some days you just don’t have the energy to go as you used to. You tire easily. You have side effects that hinder life. Lets just say I **understand**!
Emil__BG said on September 2, 2007 05:02:
miss-misery
Don’t respect me.
Just tell me what the point of split ?
DownloadJunkie
You are absolutely.
But one of the worst thing is such hard times is to hear that people don’t believe in you and even more- someone is searching for your replacement.
Jud (moderator) said on September 2, 2007 06:16:
Junkie: Sometimes you don’t need to get seriously ill to realise many things in your life. I have had and have enough with my back / spine problems. There are things I won’t be able to do ever again. Shock. Anyway, I personally never had problems before with Marie’s decision to work on her solo stuff or art.
Emil: what?

Emil__BG said on September 2, 2007 08:56:
Judith
it was continuation of discussion from closed topics where someone propose replacement of Marie..
However
You’re right.
even more–You don’t need to get ever ill to understand conditions of Marie.
I think that everyone understand that.
Even the ones who insist for new Roxette material.
They have the right to expess their desires , Per and Marie have the right to except it or not.
Furthermore-artist need to know that someone still cares for and wants their music!
And i don’t think that the fact that Roxette didn’t split up obstructs solo work of Marie and Per ..
If you see front row of Per’s and Marie concerts you will understand that this fact even helps!!
I can assure you that the band was very glad to see us on every concert!!
Being Roxette fan and wanting in some future times new Roxette song ,doesn’t stop me from buying every solo work (even Mikael’s album-which was good suprice for me) and being on every tour they had or would have.
I have read about you problems in other topics– and i have the same problem from 3 years..
It was a big shock cos i’m sportsman and even working in a totally diffrent area after university education, my life is/was still strongly conected with sport.
I have difficult times being in hospital for months ...and sometimes you don’t believe in yourself ,sometime you said things ,which you don’t actually wanna say...
That’s why i don’t pay big attention to this “interview”. This words are feelings ,not statement for me..
(even more-as i understand Marie was very glad to see ROXETTE fans few hours later..so she still cares about them..)
Emil__BG said on September 2, 2007 08:56:
And as i say before –if Roxette split up -who will help it?
It would make at least thousands people unhappy but Marie problems won’t vanish!!
ket-ket said on September 2, 2007 14:14:
i don’t belive in that information,but i m on the opinion that Marie and Per get bored being at roxette,also perhaps they thinking that their solo stufs are better than was roxette,solo albums are just for swdish fans,not for the others:( but its a false,also,what regards Helena instead marie at roxette is so foolish,she cannot compare with her voice range,roxette must be over,not from recent interview of Marie,it seems so
Emil__BG said on September 2, 2007 14:44:
Even bored and so on ...One wish and Reveal are much better than the crap on TV ,so i’ll be totally satisfied if they made even 1 song every –lets 5 years..
If they dicide in the future to do it..
But don’t see the point in split up ..
miss-misery said on September 2, 2007 19:46:
Well, Emil, there’s no point in splitting up. The issue is that both Marie and Per are free to do whatever they want with their carreers, and if they decided to call it quits, I guess we should respect their decission and say thank you for 20 years of great music.
And honestly, I don’t see that respect in some comments...

Miss-misery, you are absolutely right! We had 20 years of great music, and i can feel only gratitude to Marie for what she has done. Lots of love !!!
DownloadJunkie said on September 3, 2007 00:51:
Very true. I guess I view Roxette as a child I have watched grow into maturity. They do achieve adulthood one day, and to parallel the duo to a child, you always remember/revisit the past but look positively into the future for you never know what surprise lurks around the corner. Whatever their decision, I’ll be there watching, waiting. Just because they have grown doesn’t mean you don’t care as much. There’s always another age, another stage. To everything there is a season....
sportsfan said on September 3, 2007 07:50:
As I’ve written somewhere else, I do not see the point of an official break up. It does not make sense financially nor does it make sense in any other way. Roxette still exists - the music is still played on the radio, it’s only that Marie and Per do not produce any new material. But that is something entirely different from saying that the band is going to break up.
RobS said on September 3, 2007 12:10:
sportsfan, that makes sense.
I’d be quite happy if they leave it open-ended. Who knows what can happen in the future.
coyboyusa said on September 3, 2007 13:07:
not for nothign but until there is an official confirmation of this from mrs dimebag ahem dimberg or whomever is now their publicist I am not gonna go ranting and raving about how it’s either the wrong or right decision...all I want as a fan is a respectful confirmation or denial, and if it is confirmed then I want per to get over his timidity regarding live recordings and give the fans what we all know we want.
shammes said on September 3, 2007 18:02:
I think it’s funny how I’ve started 2 topics to try and itelligently discuss Roxette’s future in a Roxette forum and they both have been closed for some unknown, presumably paranoid reason! What, are we not allowed to speculate about future events in here? Maybe I should I have started another scintilating topic like “what’s your favorite Rox album?”
Emil__BG said on September 3, 2007 18:32:
We all my respect i think that mods had good reason to close topics.
I think it isn’t funny to appeal for end of Roxette in Roxette forum.
No matter that you “hope so “.
Don’t forget that Roxette are Marie and Per.
If you start topic–“what’s your favorite Rox album without Marie ” it for sure will be closed again.
Think before start topic and be careful with words conected with illness.
Only then you will start intelligent discussion and it will be fun for everyone.

I love when people begin to argue, and even more when they argue because they feel themselves the biggest/best/most faithful roxette fan...
Emil, again, with all due respect, you shouldn’t tell which topic is appropiate or not. Leave judgement to mods (who by the way, are not always right)
I don’t think anybody here wishes that Roxette split up. I guess that there are some people more pessmistic (or even realistic) than others.

If this is so, I guess it’s a logical consequence of such a long time of inactivity. And we’re old enough to know that all things come to an end... I guess.

I think it’s absolutly disgusting that a fan harassed marie outside her home and calls it an interview. I don’t believe she said that stuff at all, probably just posed for the photo and walked away. Isnt this the same site that wrote somthing a while ago about marie’s illness and called it news?
frankie said on September 6, 2007 09:09:
well said micki - marie‘s PRIVATE home should be left alone and not a place where fans (if you can call them that) turn up and expect her to talk to them.
as for this site and it‘s treatment towards narie - it seems to be okay for people to attack her and say what can only be called blatant lies about her. the moderators really should look into this and take more control.
so as i don‘t start an argument about this, i‘d like to ‘discuss‘ this with one of the moderators if they‘d agree to contact me.
Jakubek said on September 6, 2007 10:52:
Oh c’mon. If she didn’t want to talk - she wouldn’t do it. She doesn’t look upset on picture either. There are some rules of course and I agree that we should keep away from Marie’s private house but if she didn’t mind this time, why you critisize someone who made a great job. It’s her right to do what she wants not yours.and if she had a will to talk - stop this wave of criticism.
For me all it happens because you weren’t on this place instead of him? It’s pathetic.

“For me all it happens because you weren’t on this place instead of him?”
I don’t understand this?
frankie said on September 6, 2007 11:33:
i‘m not sure who jak. is attacking here but i still feel that a true fan would not turn up at marie‘s home and expect her to do a so‘called interview. it‘s a horrible position to put her in and can you imagine what would have happened if she had told him/her to get lost.
just because somebody is famous, it doesn‘t mean they are not entitled to a private life.

@ Tev - I think Jack... meant that he thinks people are bitter because this person managed to speak to Marie and they didn’t. I think that’s what he’s meaning

Pathetic is waiting outside a celebritty’s house! I wud rather never meet Marie in my life than bother her at her home!!!! I also dont believe one word in this interview is true!!!
miss-misery said on September 7, 2007 10:11:
So you think everything was made up??? The interview doesn’t seem very professional and if it’s true that they waited for Marie outside her home it’s not very kind of them, but I don’t think that any website would publish something that is completely untrue. I don’t think they would risk themselves to be prosecuted.

so where is the confirmation or denial from their management....why all the sudden silence?
frankie said on September 7, 2007 14:13:
maybe the reason they haven‘t responded is that there is nothing to respond to !!
shammes said on September 7, 2007 20:29:
I don’t think it would be out of the question for Per, Marie and/or their management to respond to this break-up rumor/report. Out of respect for their most ardent fans, those of us on TDR, I’d like to see one of them come forward and address this issue. Hey, they’re superstars and they chose the life that they live. They’ve been paid handsomely for their work over the years (most of it from us here on TDR) and now would be a good time to step up to the mic and let us know what’s going on, don’t you think?
agnethamaria said on September 7, 2007 21:14:
Obviously, many things in the “interview” seem to be untrue, for example that she didn´t visit Spain this summer. Another strange thing: Room Service, her favourite album, ” everone liked it” ehrmmm
frankie said on September 8, 2007 09:34:
shammes - by the tone of your message you seem to think that marie and per owe an answer to every question/report/rumour that is mentioned. they don‘t owe us a damn thing and they never forced you to spend any money on their records and/or merchandise or concerts - that was you who was responsible for that.
as for your statement ‘that they are superstars and chose the life they lead and have been paid handsomely‘ - i agree with the fact that they both chose to work within the music industry but did they really choose to have every part of their life opened up to public scrutiny. i know that you are thinking that it goes with the territory - maybe it does, but that doesn‘t make it right.
when people start sniping at how much money people like marie and per have made - i can‘t help thinking that it‘s down to jealousy. if it was a choice between being unknown and having a private life or being famous and having your private life plastered over the papers - which one would you choose?
RoXoR said on September 8, 2007 10:46:
Well this discusion is totaly worthless. What would it change if they say: “Yes, it is over, Roxette had been a great part of our lifes for so many years, but it is over now!”
It will be a part of their lifes and our lifes forever. Would it undo the music they did, would they stop to exist, would all the great memories you have be worthless? The answer is NO. They never said they will stop doing music. Roxette is/ was big enough to get still some money out of it: remastered albums, maybe unreleased demos or even whole songs, live dvds etc.
Ever thought about the idea that they both even don’t know if Roxette will make music again!?
Per is doing music like there is no tomorrow and spoils us with new music every year. And Marie, well I don’t know, but she IS alive and after all the time of fear and darkness she seems to enjoy life even more with new music, art and so on.
Let’s see what the future brings and concentrate on more important things of your own life.
I am just trying to decide if I should eat chicken korma or pasta with pesto, maybe Per and Marie have the same problem right now, they are humans...

@shammes
“Out of respect for their fans”??????
You mean fans that start discussions like “Hey, I(!) want to replace marie NOW and I got a thousand reasons for this!”???????
“They’ve been paid handsomely for their work over the years (most of it from us here on TDR)”
So you think that a few hundred people made them rich!?
You demand, demand, demand,demand.....
You blame Per and Marie for feeling uncertain about THEIR future...
You started this Marie replacement shit...
You claim to be responsible for their wealth...
... and you ask for respect!??????
What did I tell you about smoking crack?
