Per sends message of thanks to fans
Written by administrator on September 19, 2002 to Per Gessle.
STOCKHOLM - The Daily Roxette received this message from Per today, who asked us to share it with our readers:
Dear friends,
On behalf of Marie and myself I would like to thank everyone for thinking/praying/writing/e-mailing good and positive thoughts regarding her illness.
As you know, what happened Sept 11 (that day again!!) took us by complete surprise and last week has been tumultuous for us all to say the least.
As I’m writing this, we don’t really know what’s going to happen with the Night of the Proms tour. We do know that the single/video “A thing about you” and the album “The Ballad Hits” will be released as planned worldwide and our ambition is still to promote and take part of that process as much as possible.
Once again, thanks for your support and let’s keep our fingers crossed things will turn out for the best for Marie and her family.
Hope to see y’all very soon.
Per G., Stockholm

Thanx for your words!
The NOTP-tour is NOT important anymore!
The main thing is that Marie will be fine again!!!
And she WILL BE!!!
Take care!!!
RoxiRoxt said on September 19, 2002 16:49:
Thx Per!
I´ll keep my fingers crossed.
And yes, the main thing is that Marie will be ok!!!
The words give us more hope that we still have!!!

It’s a positive message. This must be the proof that everything will be OK soon.

Tack så mycket Per!!
It feels good to hear from you!
I think I will hate the date of 11th September for ever (sorry to all who have their birthday there..)
I hope you or/and the management will keep us informed about Maries health! Otherwise I will get mad!
Big hug

Thx Per.
I keep on praying for Marie several times every day.
As “big-little-girl” already said - NOTP is not important. Important is only Marie and her health.
flowersonthemoon said on September 19, 2002 17:28:
Thanks Per,
when we wake up each morning, we just wonder “will we have more news about Marie?” “will everything be ok about her?”.. she is in our minds ... and we have our fingers crossed so that Marie will be around us with her energy, her voice and those innocent eyes that are full of love.
We know that these moments are hard to live, for family and friends, and knowing that Marie wants to continue with every rox-related thing makes us know that she loves us as much as we do :)
Best wishes,
ALEX (Spain)
roxchurch said on September 19, 2002 17:45:

You give us so much love and now this love come back to you, and i’m sure that Marie soon will get well!!!
We got the power to heal!!!

Dear Sweet Per!
Thank you, for the lovely message! This time must have been hard for you too, but baby your songs pull us through ups and downs and now our prayers will pull you and Marie through all this!! You cannot begin to imagine how much us Roxfans love you.....we all want to see Marie rested and healed, so NOTP is not an issue!
We love the song, we love the video, and to quote the Beach Boys classic(my fave song of theirs)
“God only knows what we’d do without you”(roxette)

Hej Honey Per!!!
Finally, it’s nice to hear from you!!!
Marie is always on my mind, and i pray for her health every day!!!
All italian fans are close to her now!!!
We LOVE you!!!! Niky*
Sascha said on September 19, 2002 18:41:
Thanx for your response Per!
I feel that Marie will get well again, but she needs time and peace. I bought tickets for NOTP myself, but still prefer Marie to stay at home.
Both of you did a great job with A Thing About You! I’m shure it will make it’s way, even without your personal promotion.
After this drama Roxette will be even stronger!

Dear Per:
Tell Marie that I’m really worried about her health. She’s my favorite singer. I’m really sure that she’ll deal with all this. As she sings in the song ” El dia del Amor - Baladas en Español”:
ALEGRATE QUE LO MALO PASA..
Marie. it i my message for you
Per and Marie, God bless you. I am close to you
Bye

[To see the translation of the last article about Marie (21/09), go to the “Smaltalk” section, and to “General”.
There is a topic called “NEWS ARTICLE ABOUT MARIE” or something like that with a translation made by Fool.]
