Marie back on stage
Written by roxeteer on November 21, 2008 to Live and Marie Fredriksson. Source: Expressen.
STOCKHOLM - The Stjärnklart tour with some of Sweden's top artists started yesterday in Norrköping. One of the performers in the show is Marie Fredriksson who hasn't toured since her brain tumor was discovered and treated in 2002.
"It is wonderful to be here," she told the audience from the stage of the Louis De Geer concert house. According to Expressen, the other artists of the show sang duets and had dance numbers, but Marie had a more peaceful moment between the acts. She performed three songs, "Ännu doftar kärlek," "Så skimrande var aldrig havet" and "Tro."
The tour continues on November 25 in Stockholm. More shows will follow in Malmö and Gothenburg until December 13.

Here is the article from Expressen, translated in English: http://www.roxette.ro/en/node/1789
The translation is not very accurate, sorry, but I hope the main ideas are preserved.

Great to see her back on stage at last, even if it is only to sing 3 songs. I love all 3 of those songs as well, so i am gutted i am missing it, but i really cant justify spending that amount of money at the moment. Hopefully she’ll enjoy it so much that she’ll want to get back on stage sooner rather than later

I’m in the same situation as ncurran. I’d like to see Marie on stage, but I can’t afford it right now :( But I cross my fingers that Marie continues her musical career :)
I can smell that it’s been a fantastic show. Standing ovations!!! That’s impressive. Well done, Marie :)

I wish you the best there is before you go to sleep

I am with you, Neil. I have checked out again for flights and so on, but it is anyway too expensive :(
So we’ll have to wait for another time.
Anyway, great to see Marie on stage again :)))) I’m sure she’ll have a great time on 29th ;)

Great news for sure!
I am a little suprised that she didn’t sing “Dar Du Andas” - but it is quite likely she decided to sing songs that she is already comfortable singing

No one has asked this yet, and I’m surprised! Was Marie singing live?

Is there any other option? You think she could’ve cheated with playback? No is my guess, but we will get to know more when some fans will see her performance in Stockholm this week and maybe record few seconds of it ;)

Så skimrande is an Evert Taube song and it’s from EMI’s Taube collection.

Great news! I’m very happy about it!
Just as it was expected from her :)
Congrats, Marie!
