EMI Electrola, the German EMI, is going to have an online chat with Roxette on February 25. The time of the chat has changed: it begins 5.30pm CET (4.30pm UTC).

Roxette in chat, again!

Written by roxeteer on February 24, 1999 to .

Roxette chatted again on the Internet. This time the chat was provided by EMI Electrola and RTL. Per and Marie were really in a hurry: the chat started late because they had a promotional concert and it didn’t last very long because they had a plane to catch (they’re going to Paris, France).

Per said they lied in the previous chat about the forthcoming single. Now they said that the single #2 will be “Anyone” and single #3 “Stars”.

They also told that Marie (don’t know if it’s Fredriksson or Dimberg) met Fatboy Slim in London recently. Maybe we’ll hear a Fatboy Slim remix of a Roxette track soon!

Marie and Per also told that their manager Marie Dimberg is writing a book.

The decision on the tour (HaveANiceTour) will be made in the summer. They have no plans to play on summer festivals. The Romanian fans asked them again to come to Romania, too. I hope the fans get what they are longing for!
