Singer Marie Fredriksson, 44, is seriously injured after an accident. Since Wednesday, she has been hospitalised at Karolinska Hospital for head injuries.

She is very tired but in good spirits.

This is according to her manager, Marie Dimberg. It was on Wednesday that Marie Fredriksson was injured at home in her villa outside Stockholm.

She fell, that’s all I can say.

Roxette star Marie Fredriksson was taken to Karolinska Hospital. There, doctors found that she had suffered a severe concussion.

Late last night she was treated in the neurological ward at Karolinska Hospital.

How seriously injured is she?

She has a severe concussion, she is not feeling well.

She is conscious.

Yesterday, Marie Fredriksson was still conscious and her manager was able to talk to her for a while.

How long will she remain in hospital?

I actually don’t know how long she will have to stay.

Ms Dimberg found out what had happened from Marie’s husband, Mikael Bolyos, 45.

Mikael and Marie met in Australia, towards the end of Roxette’s Joyride tour. Soon after meeting, they got engaged and after just over a year they had their first child, Josefin. In 1994 they got married.

On Wednesday afternoon, Mikael called Marie’s manager and told her that Marie had been injured.

Late last night, Marie’s brother Sven-Arne Fredriksson had not found out what had happened. He said:

I’m shocked, it came so suddenly. I have not heard anything. First thing tomorrow morning (read today) I’ll find out more about what happened.

I just hope it goes well.

First tour in six years

With Roxette, Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle have had great international success in the 80s and 90s. The band was formed in 1986 and had its international breakthrough with the song “The Look” in 1989.

Several successful world tours followed, but towards the end of the 90s their popularity waned. And when the band went on tour last autumn, it was for the first time in six years.
