Arsewipe 202 Posted December 10, 2019 Sad news, a great part of the late 80s/early 90s music scene and she was certainly a looker back in the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cant Wait 93 Posted December 10, 2019 Wow, I can’t believe she’s gone . I listened to a lot of her songs back when I was young. RIP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,970 Posted December 10, 2019 Quite sad. I thought she had recovered for good as she did a little touring here and there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My sister saw Roxette on the last tour they did in Australia a few years back. She said Marie was in great voice but was *incredibly* frail, needing help getting on and off stage, and also had (known) memory problems - as well as the brain tumour/cancer affecting her sight and hearing, she was also unable to read afterwards so a teleprompter couldn't be used. Still a fantastic gig though, and there was a lot of love for Marie for being such a trouper in spite of her obvious fragile health. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was probably only reported on the BBC, so easily missed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What is the name for the phenomenon where a band is called by a girl's name or nickname which is not in fact her name or nickname, but everyone assumes it is? I''m thinking of Roxette, Blondie, and there must be others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
