THE DOOMSDAY DJ:
TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE
“The Look”:
Singer, songwriter, and musician Marie Fredriksson passed away on this day in 2019 (December 9), aged 61.
Fredriksson was best known as the lead vocalist of pop rock duo Roxette, which she formed in 1986 with Per Gessle.
The duo achieved international success in the late-1980s and early-1990s with their albums “Look Sharp!” (1988) and “Joyride” (1991), and had multiple hits on the US Billboard Hot 100, including four number ones: “The Look", "Listen to Your Heart", "It Must Have Been Love", (featured on the soundtrack of the smash hit movie “Pretty Woman”), and "Joyride".
Fredriksson had a successful career in her native country prior to forming Roxette. She was a member of punk group Strul, a band which created their own music festival in 1979.
In 2002, after fainting at home, Fredriksson was diagnosed with a brain tumour.
During her rehabilitation, she continued to record music as a solo artist, and later record and tour again with Roxette.
Fredriksson passed away as a result of health issues stemming from her 2002 brain tumour diagnosis.
