Per and Marie to attend The Stones


STOCKHOLM (UPDATED) - According to an article published today in Aftonbladet, both Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson are on the guestlist to attend the Rolling Stones's "Licks World Tour" concert in Stockholm tonight. "Per will definitely go, but Marie isn't sure. If the weather is nice, she will prefer to go out on the boat [with her family]," tells Roxette's manager Marie Dimberg to Aftonbladet.


  The concert will take place at Cirkus and is the third the Stones will give in Stockholm. Last 18th they played the Olympic Stadium and on the 20th at the Globe Arena.


  "The tickets for this concert disappeared so fast that it seems you have to be an artist or record business related to get one," tells a source. Catarina Oscarsson from EMA Telstar, the promoter of the show, claims she doesn't know, though, who wrote Per and Marie to the guestlist, "There's actually no guestlist that I know of, we haven't invited anybody special. Some of the tickets were sold via the [Stones] fan club for instance."


  The Hellacopters will be the opening act for tonight's show.


  Update: Aftonbladet has published pictures of Per and Marie at the concert, which they both enjoyed enormously. "Fantastic! This is the best I have ever seen," said Marie, who was there with her husband Micke Bolyos, Per and Åsa Gessle, to Aftonbladet. "I will go home now and cry with joy," Per exclaimed. "Give it 15 plus! 15 plus!" he added.
