Rep: In February last year I met Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson in their rehearsing room, before the world tour that they are doing now. Now they have been on tour for 14 months and it is the biggest tour in the world. The fact that Roxette can be on stage again depended on Marie Fredriksson, who had fought a lot against the brain tomour. It was also important for her to be able to resist in this tour. In this exclusive interview Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson talk about this journey which, in spite of all odds, has been done. Marie Fredriksson, welcome to Nyhetsmorgon.

Marie: Thank you!

Rep: Per Gessle, welcome!

Per: Thank you.

When Per Gessle is at home in Sweden, his wife always says that it is Per who lays the table. To be pedant is nothing he is ashamed of.

- Once, when I was at Tina Turner’s house, she told me that she had fired one of the employees who had turned the toilet paper on the wrong direction. And I understand that, he says to P4 Extra.

Haven’t we understood here, in Sweden, how big Roxette are abroad?
