The Fredriksson Express

Staffan Öferman
Is Per a funny guy? (Madeleine Nyberg, Sweden)

Yes, Per is an amusing guy. He is always happy and he's got a lot of energy. He always like telling jokes, at least when I was touring with them.


What are your going to do at christmas and at new year? (Martín Herrera, Argentina)

Sorry, haven't got any plans right now. We were supposed to play new years eve with my band, but the gig was cancelled so I don't know right now. Any suggestions?


What are your plans for the new millenium? (Sonia, Finland) 

My plans for the new Millenium (oh I hate that word). I will just continue doing what I'm doing.


Hello,Staffan!My name is Fernanda (it's a girl's name !)and I live in Brazil.
Who's Jackie Ofwerman?Is she your daughter? The only thing I know is that she sings so well! Her voice is like an angel's voice! Thanks for reading my message.Braziliam kisses to you and Jackie. Fernanda Bertuleza (Fernanda Bertuleza, Brazil)

Yes, Jackie is my 13 year old daughter and she's got a nice voice that's true.
She and some of her friends were the childrens choir on Stars and Jackie also did a voice alone on Gessle's latest solo album.


Hello Staffan !! How are you ? I'm Madonna from Argentina and I would like to know ...what can you advise me to be a singer ?? I have 326 songs writed but I don't know what can I do!!**Kisses from Madonna** (Madonna, Argentina)

I'm sorry, but I really don't know how to become a singer. The best way is probably to send a demo to a record company and hope that they like your voice.
Good luck and hope you will make it to the top one day.


Do you release different album's in different countries? (Glenn, US) 

I don't think I can answer that question. I really don't know how that works. But I think sometimes they release special versions of albums in some countries. Sometimes they give you a B-side or a remix as a bonus in some releases. Roxette and some other bands have also released spanish versions of songs for the South American market. You better ask someone at the record company this question.


Have you ever been to Argentina? If it´s yes, what do you think about it? If it´s no, would you like to come someday, you are invited!!!! Kisses Bye SABI! (Sabi-GESSLE, Argentina) 

Of course I've been to Argentina. We played in Argentina on the Joyride tour.
I like Argentina and South America a lot. I never saw much of the countryside, which I hope I'll have time to do in the future. I like the food in your country and the women are also beautiful.


What do you think about hackers? I had a problem with one of them a very few time ago (Jorge Diaz, Argentina)

Sorry, but I haven't had the pleasure to meet a hacker yet, as far as I know...
But if they do bad things to other innocent people, I hate them a lot. It's ok if they play with their own machine but if they play with other people I think they're really out in the completely wrong playground.


Do you have more brothers/sisters other than Clarence? (Cris again, Br) 

Yes, I also have a 3 year younger sister and a brother who is 9 years younger than me.


Do you listen to Meredith Brooks? What do you think of her? (Cris again, Br)

No, I can't say I listen to Meredith Brooks


Whick is your best country to go on holiday? Thanxs!!!! SABI! (Sabi-GESSLE, Argentina)

Well, since I haven't been in every country I really don't know.
But I like a place that's got both beaches and maybe a small town connected. There should also be some nice small restaurants serving local specialities. I like Greece a lot, but it's too many tourists at the places I've been to.


What hair, uh, wig?? You used a wig on the Joyride tour too?? I loved that spikey hair... (Cris, Br) 

I'm using a wig when I play with my own band, which is a look-alike show.
I didn't use a wig on the tour with Roxette. That was my own so called Edward Scissorhands-hair-do. Now I'm older and I haven't got as  much hair left as I got back then. And my hair is my normal colour now (which is not black). I look kinda plain now. No-one would recognize me today.


Do you have baby? (Larissa Continental, Lituania)

Well, I don't know if you call them babies if they are 13 and 10 years old. A girl named Jackie, she's 13 and a boy named Hampus who is 10.


Hallo Stephan.
Is that your realy hair in the pocture or a wig, if it is  a wig you look very nice on it. (Monalisa, Tanzania/Zanzibar) 

Well, it's a wig... but when we meet in the future I might wear it. Who knows?


I heard rumours that it is your voice you can hear with a high pitch in Fading Like A Flower and the words "can't let go". Is that really your voice we hear? (Wildman, germany) 

So you hear rumours about my voice? That's great.
Well, yes I think it's the song where you here my voice best. My high pitch screaming hysterical voice together with Marie. "Can't Let Go!". I also think they kept my voice on the Spanish version, but I haven't heard that CD, so I don't know. But I think Clarence told me they kept that take even in that version.


We really miss you on stage Staffan. You were really full of energy on stage and that thing we miss with Roxette on last tour. Please come back!!! (Wildman, germany) 

Thanx a lot. Energy on stage is my middle name. I really enjoy being on stage. But now I use all my energy with my own band...


When you go to argentina? (Alfredo, Argentina) 

I don't know when I will come to Argentina.
If you want to know when Roxette will be there, you have to ask them. But I have no plans going there in person.


Hi Staffan!
In which other bands (apart from Rox) have you been involved? And have you ever released some solo-material? (Ezequiel "PiR_GeSSLe", Argentina) 

I used to be a freelance musician, like all members of the Roxette band. We were just hired for recordings and tours. During the rest of the time we all played in other bands. Roxette is only Per & Marie and a bunch of musicians. That's why the band changes from time to time. I played with a couple of Swedish bands and artists on tour, like The Creeps, Suzzie's Orkester and Efva Attling. I also had a couple of bands on my own and I also recorded 4 singles with my own band and as a solo artist
(which was a song written and produced by Gessle).


I like the Coors too! They're awesome!
What kind of movies do you like to watch? Which ones have you seen recently that you'd recommend? (Cris, Br) 

I don't go to the Cinema that much, I usually watch films on TV. I really don't remember which one I saw last time, but I like comedy's a lot. Steve Martin is the best. Take a look at his film called "The Jerk" it's great.


Do you get bored of these questions? Sorry, I had to ask... I know Per does... (Cris, Br) 

Well, some questions I get tired of hearing, like when will Roxette go on tour and what do you think of the new album, and so on. All those questions that relate to Per and Marie. I don't meet them these days, so you have to ask them these questions instead. Or people can ask their record company or fan clubs. The official fan club is probably the best place to start at.
