SUNDSVALL - Next year Per Gessle will disappear from the limelight. "It's a promise I've given my wife, Åsa. That's all there is to it," Per states in Expressen. He will be gone at least a year, during which he will be doing "absolutely nothing." This is not due to Per being worn out, he claims. "Last year I did my solo tour and I was everywhere. This summer has been absolutely crazy with Gyllene. I can feel a fear that people might get sick of Per Gessle. Hence it's better to stop and step off for a while."

  One thing he's planned for the leave though… he wants to see Madonna's European tour, either in London or in Paris. "She's a great performer!" Per says to Expressen.
