Today marks 15 years since a-ha ended their Farewell Tour with a final concert in Oslo Spektrum, 4 December 2010. Fans from around the world gathered, for one last chance to see the band. Little did we know they would some day return. But that night it felt like a definitive ending.
Pictures by me.

Happy Record Store Day to those who celebrate! As usual, got some stuff, missed out on some stuff, nearly froze to death waiting to get into the store, and enjoyed chatting with the other #RSDBF crazies in line.

40 years ago, three Norwegians turned a homemade melody into a pop revolution.
“Take on Me” fills dance floors and still earns a formidable income for A-ha.
The Post caught up with the 80s band to discuss the song’s unexpected afterlife.
This week Magne has been in Lofoten to record new music with Apparatjik. The band's last release was the single "Julia" in 2020. In the last few years they have tried a number of times to get together to record something, but their busy schedules have prevented it until now.
