Roxette

Roxette is a Swedish pop rock duo originally consisting of Marie Fredriksson (1958–2019) and Per Gessle and currently consisting of Gessle and Lena Philipsson. Both Gessle and Fredriksson were already established musicians in Sweden prior to the band's formation. Fredriksson had released several successful solo albums, while Gessle had been the lead singer and songwriter of Gyllene Tider, a band which had three number one albums in Sweden. On the advice of Rolf Nygren, the CEO of their mutual record label EMI, Fredriksson and Gessle collaborated to record "Neverending Love" (1986), which was a hit in Sweden.
