Well, it was expected, wasn’t it? I mean, anyone really expected Marie to be able to perform? Even if she’s fine, recovering from a tumour isn’t that fast. I wish it was! ;(

Mmm... I’ve sent a mail to PSE-Belgium and PSE-Germany to check whether this is true or not.

In the meantime Jefferson keeps this thread on the top of the page by saying nothing but ————— in his postings.. ((-:

Yes, it’s true. No Roxette at the NOTP.
Just received an answer from PSE-Belgium. Tomorrow we’ll get more info.

“Roxette will be at the NOTP 2003 (next year) if Marie’s health is OK”, PSE says.

I just wanted to say, that when I went briefly on to the Simple Minds web site to see if they had any official news about NOTP - a lot of people were wishing Marie the best. Guess we should say thanks to them for their support!

Yes Pascal, I am wondering about that already the whole morning )-:

Just got mail from PSE.
“Sorry but we still need some time (a few hours, max. 1 day) to prepare the official announcment”
So I don’t think we have to expect news within the next 3 hours.

Sounds very unprofessional..where is the problem? The Simple minds? The guy who is not able to write the press statement? The administrator of the page?

Today it’s Thursday..................ahem.....still no official statement....
japeke said on September 26, 2002 16:34:
Today it’s thursday, and we HAVE got an official statement.
So the news on our club (http://muziek.clubs.nl/roxette) was right, and not such a brian story!
spyboo said on September 26, 2002 16:47:
is it just me, but roxette being replaced by 2 big acts, sound kinda flatering and cool. But then they could replace roxette with 50 big acts, it still won’t ever do or remotly get close to my satisfaction
=(

This is on the Dutch NOTP site http://www.notp.com/?country=nl
Message from per as well!:
Dear friends,
We’re very sorry to announce the following… Due to Marie’s serious health problem Roxette won’t be able to perform at the upcoming Night of the Proms-tour. However, we are truly pleased that the promoters have found suitable replacements in Simple Minds and Bonnie Tyler in this short space of time. Satisfaction should therefore be guaranteed.
Hopefully Marie will recover very soon and, if possible, we would of course like to take part of the Night of the Proms at another occasion in the near future.
All the best,
Per Gessle, Roxette
BERICHT VAN SIMPLE MINDS:
Performing at the “Proms” in 1997 was undoubtedly one of the most pleasureable experiences in our 25 year career. So much so that ever since we had indeed hoped to re-unite with the “Proms family”. An invitation to return five years later, albeit in these exceptional circumstances, provides us with the perfect opportunity to create further the magic synonymous only with “Night of the Proms”.
Jim Kerr & Charles Burchill, Simple Minds
The article says that NOTP was really honoured to hear that Roxette wanted to perform on NOTP. Because this shows that NOTP is valued by many music lovers and world famous artists. Theyu hope the Rox-fans will come anyway although our favourite band is not performing... Roxette fans get their money back if they want to. If you have any Dutch tickets, please let me know if you need any help getting a refund. These are the rules: If you ordered the tix at Ticket Service Nederland you can return the tix on tuesday 1 and the latest wednesday 16 October to the sellingpoint. If your ordered tix via Tele Ticket Service 0900-45.000.45 you can send the tix before 16 October to: MOJO, Postbus 3121, 2601 DC Delft, with reference to the bank account for refund.
I guess NOTP.de will follow soon with news too.
Love Stinky
