No longer just the dream of die-hard fans: Roxette are back!
Bookmark or ShareLONDON (Updated) - 
No longer just the dream of die-hard fans around the world who will surely feel their prayers for Marie's recovery were answered: Roxette are back!
The Daily Roxette has learned that Marie Fredriksson will be joining Per Gessle on stage at the “Party Crasher” concert in Amsterdam on Wednesday. For several days now, fans have told TDR that people affiliated with the tour have told them to expect a “surprise” at that concert. Since Per has already said he expected Marie might join him on stage for one or two of his tour dates, fans who heard about this upcoming surprise immediately surmised that it meant that Marie would be making an appearance. This indeed will be the case.
There, in Amsterdam, in front of one of the largest expected audiences on this tour… fans in attendance will be able to witness first-hand the long awaited, highly anticipated return of Roxette to the stage when Per proudly announces he has a special guest.
But the real evidence of Roxette's return is that tomorrow afternoon shortly after 5 pm, at an official Night of the Proms press conference in Belgium, they will announce that Marie has recovered from the illness that forced them to cancel their scheduled appearance in 2002. Seven years later, Roxette will finally make good on that previous commitment and perform at this year’s series of concerts to be held in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands beginning at the end of October and running through December.

There were times I wouldn’t believe this could happen. These are really extremelly strange, some kind of magical feelings I’m feeliing right now. Some kind of fairy-tale dreams, which comes true.
Many thanks to Per and especially to Marie, that she made this fairy tale became true. What a woman.

“Let’s just hope that Marie can really handle this.”
I don’t think she’d say yes if she wasn’t confident. Hats off to the lady with the thunderstorm voice!!
Just saved ticket for NOTP/Dortmund. :-)

I have tears of joy in my eyes. And thanks to hints about a “surprise” a ticket for Amsterdam. :)

I remember Marie was telling that she does not want any type of stress either positive or negative. And that is the thing, I can only imaging how much emotions there will be from the fans and how that will feel for her. Obviously, everyone in Stockholm wished her appearance as well, especially to have it on the DVD. Maybe the show in Holland will be filmed as well?

The press conference is at 17.05 p.m. according to the site of NOTP.
I just bought tickets for Rotterdam.
I can’t make it to Per’s concert in Amsterdam, so I have to wait so long :-((

Yes Judith, we did. So in the end I’m not surprised at all to be hones. ;-) I already got my tickets 10 days ago. ;D

Tears in my eyes! This is great! I´m such a huge fan and now we have the chance to see Roxette back!
Roxette forever! Marie you are f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c!!!!!!!!!!
Jud (moderator) said on May 4, 2009 18:47:
got the tickets yesterday ;)
And all thanks to a dumb mistake hidden in a HTML code at notp-fanpage.de!! Hadn’t they written, hidden in the code, that Roxette will be the main act, nobody would have found out ahead of time.

@Judith: I’m glad you posted a translated summary of all of the rumours from the German forum on mariefredriksson.net for all of us non-German speaking fans... I’ve been crossing my fingers for weeks that these rumours would turn out to be true (and they seemed to be based on really great evidence - like the “hidden” HTML code stuff)... and now they are!!! So thanks for sharing with us!
Jud (moderator) said on May 4, 2009 19:09:
thanks to the German fans who found the code and shared it in their forum :)
