This is amazing news!!! Keeping Roxette legacy alive and the music alive is just awesome! I was never expecting Roxette to be touring again, it will absolutely be different than the band with Marie, and I agree that no-one could ever replace Marie, but in my very humble opinion this is not about replacing Marie, but keeping Roxettes' music alive.
Those of you who don't know who Lena Philipsson is and those of you who are not from Sweden, she is super famous and super big. Singer in Sweden and she is very popular here in Sweden and Lena Phillipsson sings very well and Per says that she will not replace Marie and she will do her own thing. Per says he doesn't want to start a new band and he doesn't want to start a new duo. Per just wants to continue playing Roxette songs live and all Roxette fans will get to experience that magical moment again, and I, who am Swedish, think it is the right choice that he asked Lena Phillipsson😉
Roxette died when Marie died. I live in Sweden I know who Lena Ph is but she is NOT and never will be ROXETTE. Duo ROXETTE was MARIE AND PER. LENA AND PER IS NOT Roxette. Lena has good voice, but she will never be on the same level as Marie.
@@sonavancova8909 Call me a cynic but I think Per wants to still cash in on the Roxette name. If he started a new band with obviously a new name,it wouldn't be as popular as the well-established Roxette.
U are definitely 💯 right I say the same he tried calling it Pg Roxette nobody was interested then had the audacity to get some "singer" no one out of Sweden has heard of to replace Marie and he has i don't care what Gessle or anyone else says and calls the band Roxette lol no it's NOT ROXETTE and never will be again when Marie passed Roxette died FACT Gessle is a self centred selfish money grabber he should be ashamed of himself 😡👹🤡
I ' ve always loved the music of Roxette , from the very first time . I was just a teenager , now i' m 50 old . Talking by myself , i never accepted the loss of Marie . Too sad and bad . Yes , it is so strange to see a new one , on stage , close to Per . But , This Is The Life . BIg Love from Italy . ❤
What many here don’t know was Marie had given Per her own consent to continue Roxette without her, in the future, when she was unwell. Per has stated this in interviews.
Many bands have lost their main singer and carried on, it's great if he manage to do it, release new material even. I imagine Lena Ph is perfect for this too, great singer, funny and she's a songwriter as well. We have to remember that we're all going away in a not too distant future, we have to make the best of it while we can.
People think that a musician feeds and survives on light when they say that the band comes back because of money. As if everyone here doesn't need cash. Another detail is that Pers is in top shape to continue and is the composer of all of Roxette's songs. Imagine a hit maker sitting at home doing nothing else. Roxette wouldn't be what it was without him even with great singer like Marie.
Im a Metallica guns n roses AC/DC cold chisel dude and there was something about Roxete that i loved but my friends didn’t 🤘🏽and to this day i still Rock them Yeahhhhhhhhhh
7 Months ago this was posted and i had never even heard anything about a new lead singer of Roxette. Going to end as fast like when Mark McEntee introduced Lauren Ruth Ward as new lead singer of Divinyls. No one can replace Marie or Christine.
I was lucky enough to see roxette in their prime in the 80s and they were fantastic and i also thought the name of their greatest hits album dont bore us get to the chorus was very funny,i dont think its a case of trying to replace marie,its more like honouring her memory and i hooe it goes well be nice to see them in europe again
I think it is fantastic that Per and Lena are doing this! And if they are going to do it, better to do it for real, with ambition, under the Roxette name. If they were to call themselves "Popcorn" or "Per & Lena" or something else, it wouldn't sell many tickets and therefore would fail. You might compare it to when KISS brought in two other members and had them wear Ace's and Peter's make-ups. This has divided KISS fans over the last 3 decades. Or Queen still carrying on without Freddie. Anyone can choose not to go to these concerts if they have a problem with them.
It would be better if they called this Tribute To Roxette rather than using the Roxette name. It isn't Roxette without Marie 😞 It feels almost disrespectful to her legacy.
I am a big fan of Per's music and I like some of the songs he's released on his own and with his former band but it wpn't feel like Roxette's back. It will be more like a tribute show but in no way would I use the word "comeback". Now if Gabriel and Josefin were involved in it, that would be a game-changer. I wish you the best Per. Always a great musician.
I watched Lena PH the first time live already in 1986, after she had won the swedish eurovision song contest.. But here is a later hit from her catalouge, "I am no darling" about her independency as a woman who can handle her own.. This Roxette-project will be great with her! and Per Gessel! ruclips.net/video/t0hkKUiswpA/видео.htmlsi=YM4KshdV2sbWh2Ea
I saw they many years go they came too Perth wa . They blow me away . You think they were standard pop group . Oh on they rock like Queen they were That Heavy, just loud power pop Bon Jovi bit in power oh can she sing
It would be better if they called this new version "Tribute To Roxette" or "Remembering Roxette" rather than using the "Roxette" name. It isn't Roxette without Marie 😞 It feels almost disrespectful to her legacy.
Exactamente, yo acabo de enterarme y solo me pregunto ¿Por qué no hacer otro grupo y dejar Roxette así como está? Pueden decir que "vuelve Roxette" pero sin Marie no es Roxette le duela a quien le duela, esa es la realidad pero bueno, a aceptarlo supongo.
Will be weird as I love Roxette and Marie but I'm sure we will get used to it.There his songs so why not as a tribute to Marie.If QUEEN can replace Freddie and as everyone knows he one hell of a front man then I am sure we will adapt.Good luck to them.
Music has to go on of course. Big shoes to fill though. Key will be not trying to do a copy of Marie's performance IMO, gotta make it her own within reason.
What a Wonderful way to HONOR Marie's Legacy. Nice to See Per Gessle Honoring his Band Mate's Memory.
I see it as a great tribute to Marie, she will never be forgotten, and thats not what he want to...

Marie will always be The Voice of Roxette! 😘😘😘😘
Per wrote everything. They're his songs.
@@stringer-ik1pc Marie gave them life.
top band!!!! give this guy a chance!!!! from a number one FAN!!!!!❤
the idea is great. No one is going to replace Marie.... it is just to remember the songs, to have the chance to listen to them again, that's all.
I think Helena would be better. Besides, after supporting Per in his solo career and in backing vocals in Roxette, she deserves it.
Im a huge Roxette fan i was in school and missed both their tours to south Africa so im pray that God make it possible for me to go this one x.
I saw them in Greenpoint Stadium in Cape Town in the 90s. It was one of the best concerts ever.
La vida continúa y con Roxette renovado, recordaremos a Marie y sus canciones, es bueno lo que hace Per.
She would want the music to find a new generation. Well done good luck .
I would prefer her being projected on stage and maybe some new and fresh AI vocals.
@@patrickr9417Agreed!! That would have been spectacular. 🌟
Nós te esperamos aqui no Brasil Per.
🎉🎉Espero que seja em Recife/Pe onde o Roxette tenha uma legião de fãs.❤❤
Brazil will be there!,💕
I would love to hear some of the new PG Roxette songs in this tour!!!
Good luck to you both , Roxette rocks on !
Love this duo !
Brawo Per ! for Marie💔💔💯💯
Great news Per! Bravo. Please tour the U.S.
We saw her last LIVE performance ever in South Africa. It was her last concert.
Estou Feliz novamente.🎉🎉 Per Geslle fez 100% das musicas do Roxette. Tem uma grande voz e esta na ativa. Obs: Marie nunca será esquecida. ❤❤
RIP Marie ❤😥❤😭
That wonderful News ❤😊
What many here don’t know was Marie had given Per her own consent to continue Roxette without her, in the future, when she was unwell.
Per has stated this in interviews.
In 2018 when Per and Helena Josefsson did a few concerts in Europe under the name PG Roxette. That is true!
You cannot revive the 1980s whatsoever.
Many bands have lost their main singer and carried on, it's great if he manage to do it, release new material even. I imagine Lena Ph is perfect for this too, great singer, funny and she's a songwriter as well. We have to remember that we're all going away in a not too distant future, we have to make the best of it while we can.

He is not the composer of all but most. Marie is the composer of some.

Marie deixou saudades não consigo esquecer Roxette,não sai da minha cabeça,pra mim é como se fosse hoje.
Per, its time to think about not just endless music….. but life n death, eternal life
Love to the hear best music writer since Paul McCartney and the swedish SUPERSSTAR Lena PH togethe.
As long us Per G lives and perform Roxette will remain strong.
It fits since the wrote one of her songs in 1986, I just listened to it and happened to read that he wrote it.
Per was Roxette. He wrote everything.
Bien dicho Per. Lina no es cualquiera, es una super estrella
Good luck,and hoping all the best❤
Det kommer bli fantastiskt, ❤
Great news!!! Roxette are back!❤
Good luck hope all works and if it does come too England we would love to see you.
Hope that the group will come to NZ.The songs and music continues.
Love that Roxette is back ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love roxette seen them 3 times
I remember Lena representing Sweden at Eurovision with “it hurts”
glad ur excited :)

0:44 - Come on Per; Marie passed away in 2019 (not 2016). Surprised you of all people didn't know that.
Didn't she get sick in 2016 ???
She stopped singing in 2016
Sounds amazing!
Genial que siga esta Banda Renovada ! Ojalá logren más éxito debemos acostumbrarnos a su nueva voz de la vocalista Lena !!

There's no Roxette without Marie.
However i can see this as a tribute to her legacy.
Just don't rerecord anything!
Per and the band is roxette. He wrote all the music and used marie as the singer. Why should everyone in that band not continue to do what they love?
Marie was the other half of Roxette, she helped make them what they were.
He's a hypocrite
I hope Roxette will bring the tour to the United States also.
Lena Philipsson competed for Sweden in Eurovision 2004.
Please come to Canada!
Per, Marie passed away in 2019 not in 2016. 😢
It must be the time difference.
I think he was thinking about when Marie had to stop because of her health, that was 2016.
@@BadMoonandStarsyes I'm also sure that's what he meant ❤️❤️❤️
I have never been in Australia. 😢😢😢 I want to go there too
I think it is fantastic that Per and Lena are doing this! And if they are going to do it, better to do it for real, with ambition, under the Roxette name. If they were to call themselves "Popcorn" or "Per & Lena" or something else, it wouldn't sell many tickets and therefore would fail.

The show must go on good luck to him.

I agree. Marie was roxette. It's sad that he wants to carry on for money! And deeply insensitive
It would be better if they called this Tribute To Roxette rather than using the Roxette name. It isn't Roxette without Marie 😞 It feels almost disrespectful to her legacy.
It's like Paul and Ringo restarting the Beatles with two new members...Money and people who are nostalgic are all this project is based on
I look forward to Roxette 2.0.

No different to INXS or Queen who have continued with a new lead singer..
Marie är Marie och hon kan man aldrig ersätta!! Hon är och förblir vår största sångerska i norden någonsin! Den rösten och närvaron kan ingen slå!
Det blir bra 👍
Ingen Roxette utan Marie.Lägg ner Roxette,ingen kan ta hennes plats.
don't be stupid
Ingen tar hennes plats, men musiken lever vidare till hennes minne.
Så QUEEN skid row journey ska lägga ner också då de har ju också bytt sångare bullshit!!!!
😮😢🎉❤
I See you in Kapstadt🫶♥️
If you like to?, listen to Lena at Maria Magdalena!!!
no, we want to hear roxette live
With all due respect to Marie Roxette is mainly Per Gessle, in my honest opinion.
She died in twenty nineteen, 9 December to be exact.
Is Lena Philipsson shy or introverted? You rarely ever hear her speak for herself
💕💕💕💕💕💕
Per said Marie passed in 2016.....Marie passed in 2019
Why not play some of the PG Roxette stuff?

I’m Interested to see what Lena brings to Roxette. She has her work cut out for her, methinks.
Oregon tour?????
Germany? Tour?
