Ok, it seems there will be just 1 Roxette album in 4 years. I think it will be the last one too... this reminds me of a David Bowie song included in his LP “The rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust”. (changing “five” for “four”).

“We’ve got four years, stuck on my eyes
We’ve got four years, what a surprise
We’ve got four years, my brain hurts a lot
We’ve got four years, that’s all we’ve got”

Santi do something in behalf of all humankind... put a sticker in your mouth....
__________________________________________

I find perfectly logical all this time of waiting you do forget so easily about Marie dont you? you really think that she is now able to do whatsoever concering promo tour or working in the studio...of corse nor...who would be able to actually be aware of that especially anyone that isnt giving a damm about anything but having more and more music like wanting a big mac right to be eaten....how selfish and insensitive... but what else could i expect from certain roxers...?

japeke said on March 25, 2003 17:21:

well, that a good plan.... per said that the new album needs to be ’perfect’ and i agree. and that needs time.
And off course we will hear new stuff....
Maybe the english marie jazzy/blues album, a new rarities, a new dvd, gyllene tider on tour with some new songs...
DON’t Worry, Be Happy.
And the most important indeed: Marie is getting healthy again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

wendy said on March 25, 2003 19:48:

Yeah,Man,don’t be so negative to Santi :O

They can’t sing their whole life long,they get old also,just like u and me and everyone else :p
I even think now already that they’re old :S
I’m sorry i have to say this,but,well,when you’re young,you find people from 35 old,so :p

Santi said on March 25, 2003 20:02:

Oh, sorry :D :)

It was just because Roxette’s contract with Capitol finishes in 2007... 4 years. Just that :)

Marie-fan said on March 25, 2003 21:32:

I think the most important thing is that Marie is feeling fine.
So we´ll see what happen with the album.

coyboyusa said on March 25, 2003 21:36:

i dont think its an obsession with quitting...i think we’ve all come to the realizationt hat some things are more important than the music industry :)

Santi said on March 25, 2003 21:40:

That’s why they keep on releasing compilations :)

mimi said on March 25, 2003 22:05:

Sometime have to the end of ROXETTE. It’s so sad that it will be for 4 years... :(

arnie said on March 25, 2003 22:10:

People will have forget them at all in 4 years.
It sucks!

Salvation7-20-7 said on March 25, 2003 22:52:

Hasn’t anyone thought that maybe, just maybe, they will get another record contract?????

Jeez, just because you get a bit of bad news doesn’t mean that it’s the end of the world. Have faith people.

Emil__BG said on March 26, 2003 00:11:

4 years are nothing ,when we now that Marie will get well ...after 1 new album,europian tour and 2 compilation albums in short time Per and Marie need a rest.. so let it be...
some people forget them after CBB for example...but i can tell you that lots of fans in my country became fans after HAND or even RS..
this year we have new song to listen to..,next year GT tour, it means only 1 year without anything special.... but they can change their minds and make the new album early..
so no need to worry..

bunny said on March 26, 2003 01:29:

No album till 2007, but maybe they will do some promotion on pop hits when it gets released in the UK/US before then :-)

misteryman00 said on March 26, 2003 03:04:

HEY....it’s maybe just a sentence trown in the air by PER...he’s maybe not sure by himself...if he got new songs and feel like it’s the good time to record,he will...when HAND went out...he said he needed rest for a while but he got so exited about the new songs that he jsut went in studio...and im pretty sure that marie will needed to record again..thats her business,her work,..she live for that job..she cant live 4 years without doing anything...maybe they’ll do solo stuff...that’s all right..we’ll have two album instead of one!!!...even if its in swedish(a language that i dont’ even understand a word)we’ll be just as happy im sure!!!

Mfan28179-Jason said on March 26, 2003 03:57:

I agree with misteryman. Haven’t they said time and time again that they live for music? 4 years is a very long time. I can’t imagine neither of them releasing any new material in that time period.

misteryman00 said on March 26, 2003 05:25:

allright....first time someone agree with me!!!thanks man!!

bunny said on March 26, 2003 08:06:

i would love to see another Marie album ’cause her new stuff is amazing

imazombieinthem... said on March 26, 2003 08:23:

2007!? Let me get this right, Per will 48 and Marie will be 49! Unless that album is big(and they get resigned), I think it will be the last Roxette album. Per Im sure will still have songs with Marie in them even after Roxette, we can just pretend its Roxette :)

yellowtigger said on March 26, 2003 15:21:

Who knows? Maybe Marie will release new solo stuff or Per....or GT!! Rox is more!!!!!!!!!!

Twilight-Ghost said on March 26, 2003 16:32:

First we have to think??? What does Roxette means to us??? Does it mean Per and Marie having a contract with some recording company and releasing albums??? or just simply Per and Marie working together??? Just like what imazombieinthemoonlight (you have a long name) said, maybe even after 2007 Per and Marie will work together and we could pretend its Roxette.

So, we have to think??? When we all speculate whether it is the end of Roxette??? Do we mean the end of releasing albums......... or Per and Marie working together???

To me Roxette is Per and Marie..... unless they announce to the world (to make it official), Roxette no longer exist and Per and Marie will never ever work together again.

arnie said on March 26, 2003 23:18:

Obviously their contract with Capitol ended up...
That’s why Per said that they will be able to release a new album in 4 years, they can’t release a new album until the contract expires

Starrox said on March 26, 2003 23:26:

@arnie: Check out the frontpage! That whole “next album in 4 years-thing” turned out to be false...

“EDITOR’S NOTE - Since TDR published this item yesterday, we’ve learned that Per Gessle is “very surprised” that the Finnish paper published this. Apparently, Iltalehti’s reporter misunderstood what he said, as Per states he “never said it will be four years to the next Roxette album.” All he ever says, according to his manager, Marie Dimberg, is that “we will have to wait until Marie feels up to working again.” /LEO”

mimi said on March 28, 2003 22:24:

HEY! Maybe Marie’s and Per’s children will create new Roxette! :DDDDDDDDDDDDD Hmmmmmm.... I think they will call ... maybe ... ROXETTEN. :DDDDDDDDDDDDD

mon-ami said on March 29, 2003 00:47:

anyway per said that there would be more tours.....mybe not now , but there would be. guys stop to be so pasemistic.
