“Being Per Gessle”

Written by Mari on April 28, 2007 to . Source: TT.

(Updated) - "Att vara Per Gessle – den auktoriserade biografin" ("Being Per Gessle - the Authorized Biography") is the title of a new book that tells all about Gyllene Tider, Roxette and the man himself. The book is being written by reporter Sven Lindström and follows Gessle from his youth in Halmstad to the Big Break and further on to international success.

Besides interviews with the man himself, the book also contains a lot of impressions by school mates, colleagues, relatives and friends. Of course the book also contains quite a few pictures from Per Gessle's almost 30 year long career.

The book is released at the end of September in Sweden.

Per informs The Daily Roxette that they are working on a few different sleeves.

Update May 8th: According to the publisher's website, the book will be out on September 4th and will officially cost 445 SEK (about 45 Euro), but will surely be available a lot cheaper in different online stores.
Here you can also find a list of all (online) stores where you can order the book.

Update II: According to Per the book has been delayed until the end of October due to a change of art directors.

Roxwriter said on :

Can anyone confirm whether or not this will be strictly a Swedish book or will there also be an English version?

Can anyone clarify?

No one has mentioned a book in any other language than Swedish. I really doubt there is a market for a translation anywhere.

That´s ” Shit” for all not Swedes. Per is a national (solo) and a International (Roxette) Artist , why not in english?

tevensso (moderator) said on :

Because Roxette fans are generally rather cheap and wouldn’t pay for a book about Per. Also, the Rox following in the world isn’t what you guys think it really is anymore. Sorry to say.

joyride1 said on :

OK. Hope of a translation.
