Roxette is a Swedish pop duo that struck gold in the United States in the late 80s and into the early 90's. The hits include "Listen To Your Heart", "The Look" and "Dangerous" all released in 1989. Even though "It Must Of Been Love" was a hit in 1990, the original and slightly different version of it was released in 1987 (Video below). They also scored another top 15 hit in 1989 with "Dressed For Success".

The female singer was diagnosed with a brain tumor some years ago but it was benign. However, her doctors have told her to refrain now from touring. She no longer tours with Roxette but they still record.

Okay, I was wrong. It was malignant. She had to learn how to walk again. She is also now completely blind in one eye and has left her very, very weak. In the last video of her performing in concert, she sat on a chair the whole time.
