Roxette Announce Comeback

Swedish pop duo Roxette are heading back to the studio later this year (06), singer and guitarist Per Gessle has announced. THE LOOK stars took a break from music-making when singer Marie Fredriksson was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2002. But having received the all-clear, the band will now record new material, Gessle reveals. He says "We haven't written any new songs yet, but we'll definitely go back to the studio this summer." Roxette, who are considered the most successful Swedish band since Abba, launched their career in the 1980s and hope to mark their 20th anniversary with the new material.
