Per sick - today’s live show jeopardized
Written by tevensso on June 24, 2003 to Per Gessle.
STOCKHOLM - Per has caught a bad case of bronchitis, due to the cold and wet midsummer in Halmstad, according to a report published in Aftonbladet today.
“I sound like Louis Armstrong, it’s really troublesome. If I can’t sing, what do I do?” says a worried Per, who is scheduled to perform tonight on the live TV show “Allsång på Skansen.”
Whether he will perform his two songs together with his band “Mazarinerna” or not, no one knows yet. “The doctor said that this must heal itself and that the only thing that helps is a good dose of rest,” Per tells Aftonbladet.
The show’s producer, Meta Bergkvist, says they don’t have a contingency plan. “We’ll see tomorrow” (read: today). “If he’s not better then, we’ll have to solve it somehow,” she says.

Øh, Did Louis Armstong sometimes go swimming when he was drunk?
Well, just a thought...
But as long as Per doesn’t sound like René Dif from Aqua I’m still happy...

Per is currently performing live on Tv1 in rainy Stockholm and actually he looks good for being ill... and the voice? I hear no difference!!!! He can even whistle without any problems!

this summer is really nasty(I mean the weather), that it makes people fall ill. I‘m really sorry for Per has got sick. Per, get well soon!! If you want I can give you an old russian recipe that has been experiensed many times by people: take vodka- probably you know-it‘s such a russian cooper, or if you don‘t have it, I think you can use whisky instead as well - and mix it with honey, just dissolve honey in the liquid - and drink it - you‘ll get well very soon, I promise you!
No treatment at the pharmacy!
