Interview with Roxette's Per Gessle on 20 April 2021 (Radio 1, Belgium)

Roxette's Per Gessle joined a Radio 1 host from Belgium in a video interview on 20 April 2021. The reason for the chat is that Roxette's song Joyride hit #1 in the Belgian charts exactly 30 years ago. Topics discussed include Joyride, Per's supposed secret formula to writing hit songs, Belgian band Clouseau who were the support act during the Joyride Tour, Mono Mind, and Per & Marie's reunion in the afterlife. Gessle is sitting in his Strandvägen apartment in Stockholm. Swedish pop duo Roxette have sold over 80 million albums and singles as of 2019, according to their manager. Marie Fredriksson passed away in December 2019, following a 17-year long battle with cancer. “Joyride“, “The Look“, “Fading Like A Flower“, “It Must Have Been Love“, “Listen To Your Heart“, “How Do You Do!“ and “Sleeping In My Car“ were amongst their biggest hits.
