Coconuts Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 She's been fighting health battles for years, life can be cruel sometimes. 61 is pretty young to go nowadays. R.I.P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SergioMomesso Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 R.I.P Roxette was one of my all time favs back in the 80-90's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 That's too bad. I had no idea she had such a tough time for many years. A lot of 80's and 90's music doesn't hold up for me, but peak Roxette still sounds fresh and original to this day. Great stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

189lb enforcers? Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Awww, no! A part of my past is gone with her then. My daughters and I still drive around and listen to her stuff. I tried to convince my son to learn Joyride on guitar, but he won’t haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

189lb enforcers? Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 It’s kind of my summer, back/dirt roads music for when I’m going camping or cruising with my daughters. I showed them this thread news and they were bummed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
