# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Gun-Marie Fredriksson came up through Swedish punk with Strul in the late seventies, then went solo with three albums before Per Gessle pulled her into Roxette in 1986. Look Sharp! and Joyride turned them into a late-eighties phenomenon, but she kept recording in Swedish on the side — a parallel track that only broke through at home. In 2002 she collapsed and was diagnosed with a brain tumour. She spent the next seventeen years recording through rounds of treatment, reuniting with Gessle for more Roxette tours and solo work that finally gave her a Swedish number one in 2008. She released her last album, Nu!, in 2013 and died six years later from complications of the tumour.
