Swedish pop duo Roxette has canceled its planned 40th anniversary tour of North American amphitheaters, citing significantly increased touring expenses. The cancellation comes as one of the group’s most popular songs achieves a milestone on YouTube.
The band announced the cancellation this week, disappointing fans who were anticipating live performances of hits like “It Must Have Been Love.” While no specific dates or venues were listed in the report, the tour was intended to celebrate Roxette's four decades as a musical act.
Alongside the announcement of the canceled tour, it was revealed that Roxette’s 1987 single “It Must Have Been Love” has officially joined YouTube’s Billion Views Club. This achievement highlights the enduring popularity of the song and the group’s catalog.
The primary reason given for the tour cancellation is “hugely increased touring costs.” The report does not elaborate on specific cost increases, but indicates that these financial pressures made proceeding with the North American leg of the anniversary tour unfeasible.
