Roxette singer Marie Fredriksson dies, aged 61
...Fredriksson was first diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2002.
The tumour cost her the vision in her right eye - but after three years of treatment, she returned to public life and toured successfully again with Roxette from 2008 to 2016.
Despite their popularity in Scandinavia, Capitol Records declined to release their records in the US.
It wasn't until an American student studying in Sweden brought a copy of their second album home to Minneapolis, and persuaded a local radio DJ to play The Look, that they achieved international fame.
That song became the first of four US number ones for the band, while its parent album, Look Sharp!, went platinum.

Her final single was released in 2018.

It Must Have Been Love (1987)
