Per, the “former pop star,” gets tax cuts
Written by tevensso on January 15, 2008 to Per Gessle. Source: GP | E24.
Due to the new real estate taxation law in Sweden effective January 1 a few Swedes can rejoice in huge tax reliefs. Among those is Per Gessle who tops the list and will have 123,000 Swedish kronor (13,000 €) more to shop with. Per Gessle is nowadays apparently a "former pop star" according to the Swedish article.

Former, ha??? :(
Anyway, can somebody who speaks Swedish clarify it for me? This “före” means former or before??? I mean it’s about the “former popstar bla bla” or “before (reducing the taxes) the popstar bla bla...”?
However it is, Per is still THE popstar for me :)

About money – good for Gessle, about former pop star – no comments

To clarify the tax issue somewhat:
Per’s house has been one of the most ridiculously over-taxed ones in Sweden, if not the most over-taxed house. From Jan 1 the gov’t has decided that the tax will be gone, and instead of that a fee will be charged, for houses worth lots you get to keep lots, but if you take for instance my house, I will save an extra 1000 kronor compared to the tax. Better yes, but not really so much better.

I don’t find where it says “former pop star”? :D I am no Sweden but with the sentence I understand “since before this popstar’s home was taxed with 16,8 mio crowns, the new tax law is surely welcome”? :)
