Thought they had been touring quite recently According to the BBC report the last time they toured was 2016. |

Awful, just awful. I was watching Roxette on YT just last week!
Great pop band.
RIP Marie, thanks for the music.

It Must Have Been Love. A truly beautiful song. But if you’re like most of modern Britain, It Must ‘Of’ Been Love. This is one of my biggest bugbears in the English language.
RIP Marie.

I had a thing for her during their first album Look Sharp, or first mainstream album for the pedants, which I even used to own on cassette.
Battled cancer for 17 years, poor thing.
RIP Marie

A band that were well liked, but equally could epitomise the polarisation of music at the time (late 80s-early 90s).
I remember liking 'The Look', but wasn't so impressed with many of their other hits.
We will be seeing them again soon, in the TOTP re-runs, so we can give them a fresh assessment.
Notwithstanding this, I am sorry to hear of the death of the singer, after a long and recurring cancer battle.

Awful, just awful. I was watching Roxette on YT just last week! Great pop band. RIP Marie, thanks for the music. Agree with this 200% They were pretty uncool at the time, but they have some killer tunes from an era that was full of junk, truly great stuff and this is very sad. 4 of my favourites OTHER than "It Must Have Been Love" ... |

'It Must Have Been Love' was a top tune.

I have 2 CDs of theirs, Joyride and Tourism. Very polished and clean pop at its best.
The Look live in particular is excellent. This is the version from Tourism. From 1993, so camerawork is a tad dated, but worth a watch, if you can get past the lead guitarists dodgy barnet!
The keyboard player whom Marie skips up the stairs to see ended up marrying her. They met on this tour.

So the joyride is over. It was the only single I cared for. It Must Have Been Love remains an iconic eighties anthem. Tragically young isn't it.
