Per Gessle has spent the summer down on the West coast looking back on his 44 years as a songwriter. In 1976, the first song was written in a contemporary new wave spirit and since then there have been hundreds of compositions.

31 years ago, my life changed forever. Four months ago, it unexpectedly changed again. This is a reflection on how a love of music forever altered my life.

Reviewing this concert is easy and then again not. It's great to see the Golden Five again, but still it sort of hurts, knowing this is it. I didn't go to the Ullevi concert, so it's nice to see it here, in my living room. All the songs I know, and have sung, for 40 years almost. It's been a good relationship!

Today at 4 pm Per will live stream for us.

So many creative heads among the Roxette fans! We of The Daily Roxette think it's time to unleash their power and make a good song even better.

Working for EMI Music, I was very fortunate to have been Roxette’s US video executive from the beginning of their discovery in the states through their ascent to international superstars. Like so many who loved and admired Marie, I was left stunned and brokenhearted in the wake of her passing. During the hours, days and weeks that followed, I have tried to process her loss with pictures, memories and thoughts of the very real and talented person that was Marie Fredriksson.
