ANTWERP (UPDATED) - With the concert series only about a month away, and with Marie Fredriksson's treatment and recovery plan still undetermined, Roxette has been forced to bow out of their "Night of the Proms" appearances.

  Organizers of the concert series have told Daily Roxette reporters that an announcement to this effect will be made tomorrow (Thursday).

  Simple Minds have reportedly been lined up to take Roxette's place as the headline act this year and, if all goes well, "Roxette will be at the NOTP 2003 (next year)", said a spokesman for PSE, the event organizer.
