Roxette World Tour 2011 schedule

Marie thanks her fans for their support

Written by tevensso on December 19, 2002 to .

STOCKHOLM - The Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet published a message from Marie Fredriksson today in which she thanks all her fans for their support.


  Aftonbladet writes: As you may know, Marie has gone through a surgery to remove the tumor she had in her head and now she is on treatment and on sick leave for some months. During all these months, all her fans haven’t stopped sending her letters, their best wishes and flowers.


  Now Marie wants to thank all of her fans and has chosen to send a message to Aftonbladet. “She really appreciates that people think about her,” says Marie Dimberg. “Marie has received a great support from every part of the world… she has a great audience from all over the world who are always very active and involved. These fans have sent a lot of letters and encouraging thoughts,” reports Dimberg.


  The Daily Roxette has translated the message for our readers:



“Hi everyone! I would like to thank everyone who has sent me warm greetings through Aftonbladet’s website after my operation. I would also like to thank you all for the letters, flowers and thoughts - they have been a big support for me.


  I am now resting at home, and I am looking forward to the next year. I would like to wish all of you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2003!”




  Aftonbladet also reports that Marie is on her way back. She has recently recorded what will be the new Roxette single, “Opportunity Nox,” which will be released in February, before Roxette’s new album, “The Pop Hits” comes out.


  Dimberg also explains that Roxette are planning to shoot a new video. “We are trying to find some new ideas, which we are right now discussing with Jonas Åkerlund,” she says.


  So far, there are no plans for a new tour, or for solo-albums. “Both Per Gessle and Marie are always writing along with Roxette, and then they release an album when they feel there is time and enough material for it,” explains Dimberg.


  “Marie will come back when she feels strong enough,” adds Dimberg, “and she will take the time she needs.”


  Marie will celebrate Christmas with her husband and children in Stockholm.

Her comment made me very happy.
I’m so calm when I read “she will...”.

:-)))))))))))))

It’s funny isn’t? Marie choose Aftonbladet to give a interview. Why??? It’s simple. Because expressen is a liar newspaper.
I didn’t believe on expressen news since the first time I read that. Now I have more reasons to really to don’t believe in that.

Marie, you will be fine, I’m sure my dear.
Lot’s of love from Brazil,
Fernanda - São paulo

Thank you for responding to your fans, Marie!
Look, they’re so happy about your message.
You should take as much time as it needs for complete recovery of your health,
and then, I’m sure, you will make us glad with your new songs (in english or in swedish - it doesn’t play a role) again and again.
After storm always comes a calm... Be strong, swedes are the strong people, aren’t they?

Marry Christmas and Happy New Year 2003!
Hej då och hälsar din make Micke och dina hänförande barn Josefin & Oscar.
Yours sincerely. Alexander from Russia.

I also doubt that Marie reads this but anyway:

MARIE YOU´LL MAKE IT!!!!!!!

Marie, you’re a sweet, strong and very talented woman. That’s why I love you so much.
Hope you feel even stronger to make us fans happy again.
I wish us all great X-mas and a 2003 full of good realizations.
Peace.

I just wanted to add my comments.

1. Opportunity Nox is a really cool songtitle!! Maybe not that roxette-ish, but still very cool! Looking forward to February!

2. And ofcourse I also wanna say GOD JUL OCH GOTT NYTT ÅR to Marie! And take care of yourself and your family!

Hello Everybody,

i listen to Roxette since about 15 year when i was 13 years old. Two time i saw them live on stage (91 in Düsseldorf and last year in Dortmund). Since last time i saw them in Dortmund is only a year ago an so i can´t hardly believe, what happend to Marie when i heard about the bad news for a few weeks. I my mind, i saw her on stage performing “Little Girl” alone on her piano, only a little lamp was glowing - with a voice .... so strong and clear ... I was really scared when i heard about the cancer on my lokal radio station. So i decide to get here (tdr) for more information. So far.

Hoping , that she will have the power to go on so that we all can hear her perfoming “littel girl” life next time in the concert hall all over the world!
Wishing the best for the future and a very happy and healthful new year 2003!!!

Greetz
Sandra

I thank her because of her strong spirit inside and out even I didint met either Per or Marie in personal.

I will pray for her health and I love Marie and Per very much. I also give my support to the two of them, I admire them so much. Marie, wherever you are, all fans around the world will pray for you.
