Terrible, she gave it a fight though, we can commend her for that. Such a great talent as well.I didn't even know that she was ill. Apparently she suffered from brain cancer for many years.
Wow - that is awful - I used to listen to their cassette tape (wow) back in the 90s while I was out jogging in all types of weatherRoxette's Marie Fredriksson died today at the age of 61. She will be dearly missed.
The Swedes seem to have a talent when it comes to music.Very sad. She got the brain cancer news in 2002 and that made a break in Roxettes career. Several operations and treatment laterthey made a comeback in, i think 2006. They made their last tour in 2016 and then the doctors said she had to stop. She loved performing for a crowd, she got energy from it. After the operations her voice wasnt quite as good as before and sideeffects from the operations made her lose sight in one eye and her legs wasn't tiptop so she sat in a high chair on stage the last years. She had a truly great pop voice. The last three years she draw back and spent almost all time with her family. RIP Marie!!
