Someone said once here that Fernando Morientes (forward of Real Madrid) is a big fan of Roxette.
I also heard that Iñaki Urdagarín, who was a handball player, is a big fan. He’s quite famous in spain since he’s married to the daughter of our King. (So there’s a Roxer in a royal family of Europe at least :D)

I heard that Victoria from Sweden is a Roxette Fan. I found a picture in a german magazin. There were Per and Marie with Victoria.
And the whole swedish Royal family is to see in the Atertaged doku.

hi stormkeeper, i want to see also that photos, but if you had seen ” Atertaget ” video documental in swedish, in a part of that there was a concert in acatsle ( that sorry, i don’t knwo which one is that ), and there were the whole family in a plce singing ” Ljudet ... “, waving the hands the queen !!!, so imagine how crazy was the younger princess, Victoria in some scenes appeared asking for autographs, and the king give his hand to Anders and other ones, i read also that Victoia was crazy when ” Joyride’s song time “, but maybe that was just a rumour.
Bye

I heard or read (maybe here in the forum) that the Stratovarious’ Metal Singer liked a lot Roxette. He also said that “Hotblooded” was a kind of “Pop-Masterpiece”... If it’s so, he’s the first metal guy who says that Roxette makes good music, isn’t it so?
Santi said on May 14, 2003 19:21:
I have friends who play “heavy metal” guitar and actually like Roxette. I know some “heavies” that like Roxette, yeah, it’s not the first one.

Hej
A long time ago, in this forum, someone posted that “Alice In Chains” said in a VH-1 Show (Where the invited bands choose some videos that they like) the lead vocals guy picked Roxette’s “The Look” and said that the thing he liked more about Roxette was that the duo didn’t change their stile. (Well, he can’t say that anymore, after HAND).
All the best

Geri Halliwell (Spice Girls) mentions Marie in her first autobiography “if only”.
I was quite shocked when I read it!
Roxmaniac said on May 16, 2003 16:56:
Madonna liked “Sleeping In My Car” a lot! She has said that in an Interview!
Stormkeeper said on May 16, 2003 18:32:
Geri Halliwell and Madonna? What a surprise. What did they say?
Roxmaniac said on May 16, 2003 19:11:
During an Interview in 1994 Madonna said, that one of her fave songs is “Sleeping in my car”!

The Norwegian artist Paris, who releasesd Per’s “I Do Believe” has several times stated that she has been a really big Roxette fan forever. And that there was one song from RS that she loved especially, but I don’t know which. She stated that it didn’t take a second to decide when she was asked if she wanted to record one of Per’s songs by here record company.
Stormkeeper said on May 19, 2003 23:26:
Just visited your site, tcooh. Very nice. And now I know how this Paris looks like :) thanks.
m-cvk said on May 20, 2003 21:06:
When Roxette were in Amsterdam (somewhere in the ’90’s) Tom Petty shouted from a balcony to them “Hey, I like your record”. As Per and Marie were to surprised to say something, MD answered “We like your record too!”
This is what I read in a book.
I think it’s cool!

Well...don’t know if you would consider NHL players famous but Tomas Sandstrom was at the LA show and Esa Tikkannen and was at a release party.
Pascal said on May 12, 2003 16:04:
Is that really true about Gella Vandecaveye??? How do you know that? I know she likes Roxette but I’ve never heard she listens Roxette before she enters the tatami.
