Roxette star has brain surgery

Roxette singer Marie Fredriksson will undergo brain surgery this week to remove a tumour. The artist confirmed earlier this month she had been diagnosed as having the tumour, now doctors have decided to operate. A spokesperson for Fredriksson told reporters: "Under the circumstances Marie is in good spirits but it is of course a delicate procedure that lies ahead. It is however clear that Marie will have to cancel her commitments for the near future." The duo’s European tour, planned to begin later this month, has been cancelled.
