The release is scheduled for summer-autumn worldwide, an event prepared to celebrate the band's existence of over 20 years.
"Son Of A Plumber" is the solo album of Per, being launched in over 18 countries as the band's guitarist declared 15 February 2006 on www.dailyroxette.com:
"The album release date for Europe has been pushed back from March 6 to March 27. It seems Brazil and Argentina will release it, along with: Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Greece, Holland, Italy, Poland, Russia, Portugal, Spain, Taiwan, Hong Kong and South Africa"
Roxette is considered together with Abba a peak in Swedish music, a peak which intends to celebrate their two decades of activity with a "Greatest Hits" signed by Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle.
In the past five years, Per followed his solo career, making his debut on 27th MArch. Per plans a worldwide tour also for the promotion of "Son Of A Plumber". We hope for a Roxette's tour also.
