I remember hearing Nothing Else Matters all the time on the radio in the early 90’s when Marie and I travelled the world constantly. I’m very pleased and proud with the outcome.Īll proceeds from the recording will go to Metallica’s All Within My Hands Foundation and to UNHCR, a charity I chose together with Marie Fredriksson’s family. My ambition was to treat the song with respect while transforming it to a style of my own. Under the banner ”PG Roxette” I joined forces with long-time Roxers Clarence Öfwerman + Jonas Isacsson + Christoffer Lundquist + Magnus Börjeson together with Helena Josefsson + Dea Norberg, both closely linked to the Roxette touring band of the past. “Nothing Else Matters” has always been a favourite of mine. Picking a song to record from their classic “Black Album” was pretty easy for me.
I’m thrilled to participate in the “Metallica Blacklist” project. In June, when PG shared the news he said: All profits will be donated to charities of each contributing artist’s choice along with Metallica’s own foundation, All Within My Hands. The Metallica Blacklist is now released digitally and will be out on 7 LPs / 4 CDs as well on 1st October. From the 12 tracks of the album Per didn’t hesitate when asked which one he wanted to interpret – he picked Nothing Else Matters. Per Gessle – together with Helena Josefsson, Dea Norberg, Clarence Öfwerman, Magnus Börjeson, Christoffer Lundquist and Jonas Isacsson, under the banner “PG Roxette” – is among those 53 artists who have covered their favourite songs from The Black Album of Metallica, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year.
