Roxette singer Marie Fredriksson has died at the age of 61 following a 17-year long battle with cancer.
The news was confirmed to the BBC by her manager.
The Swedish star achieved global success in the 1990s with hits like Joyride, The Look and It Must Have Been Love, from the film Pretty Woman.
Fredriksson was first diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2002, after collapsing in her kitchen following a workout.
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.
