Roxette slated to appear at charity concert for terrorism victims

Written by Starrox on October 11, 2001 to .

BERLIN - UPDATED German newspaper Berliner Zeitung reports that Roxette will perform at a charity gala for the victims of international terrorism in Berlin. The show, called “New York, New York,” will be Thursday, October 11th, starting at 9 pm CET. This is exactly one month from the now infamous 9.11.01 date.

  Other artists set to perform include Patricia Kaas, Nena, BAP, Sarah Brightman, Corinna May and Howard Carpendale.

  Update: According to our user Sandra, EMI Electrola (the German branch of EMI) has denied that Roxette would appear at the gala. A spokesperson at EMI Svenska confirmed that regretably, Roxette would not be there. (roxeteer, Oct 11)

Oi really nice, that they are doing that charity! Does someone know, what they will sing?

I guess they will sing “Milk And Toast And Honey”. It’s their current single and another chance to push it a bit higher in the charts.

Will this show also be broadcasetd on tv? Which channel? Thanks, Martin.

Yes, it will be broadcast on German TV-channel ARD on October 11th.

I think they shouldn’t play they current single as this could easily leave a bitter aftertaste (causing the impression, Rox are trying to profit out of the current situation). Rather they should play a classic ballad (QOR would fit perfectly, also Things will never be the same or I don’t want to get hurt and YDUM).

Cheers.

and their tour must go on, as in spite of any terrorist action! We must live in spite of anything!!!!!

NIALT and BT would indeed be perfect for that kind of occasion, too. So varoius songs to choose from for them...

NIALT?

NIALT = Never is a long time.
Would be really great if they would play it!

I think they will sing “listen to your heart”

Is it really true, that they have cancelled their performance?

Here will be my question: Is there gonna be like a CD of this performance like one from when folks did one here shortly after the attack? (Hollywood actors and musicians got together and it was aired on ABC, NBC, and CBS). I’d really like that because I’m a fan of Roxette AND Sarah Brightman.

haha,they will ,sure.

Don´t be unsure, ROXER, Marie and Per will come to the charity gala! They are on the way.... you will see.

Roxette canceled theire performance on Charity-Gala “New York, New York”. The Information was broadcasted a few minutes ago - i turned the TV OFF!!!! The reason: At the moment, they won´t go by airplain, because it is to DANGEROUS !!! :(((
