by TDR Editorial on January 6th, 2015 // 21 comments

FEATURE – For 18 years now, The Daily Roxette has been delivering our loyal readers all sorts of news, reviews, interviews and more! And now, as we excitedly kick off 2015, we anticipate another busy year for Roxette – but what will make the news? We here at TDR decided to sit down and draw up a wish list of the type of headlines (in no particular order) we would love to see published in the coming 12 months. Let’s have some fun! And remember, before any hysteria breaks out, these headlines are not real and are intended purely as fun!

Speaking of Crush On You, that little ditty, remember? Well, we’ve been inquiring why this single was ditched and the sad truth is that no one within the Roxette camp remembers anymore…

Hey Roxers! TDR has a little project, and we need your help. Please send us Roxette‘s set lists from 1987 (Rock Runt Riket) and up to 2001 (Room Service.) We have some, but we don’t have all, and neither does Per Gessle. info@dailyroxette.com if you have ANY info. (Or post them here!)
