The end of an era.
The end of an era.
Like countless people around the world, we were very sad to hear the news of the passing of HM Queen Elizabeth II yesterday. A huge oak has fallen in the Great British forest. Our thoughts go to her family, our friends in the UK,
and the people of Britain in this time of mourning.
London was where a-ha lived together for over a decade and it still very much feels like our second home.
We performed at the Royal Variety Performance on occasion, and had the great pleasure of meeting Her Majesty personally. Her extraordinary grace and dignity shone through in person. We were touched by her genuine interest in our roots, as she had quite a few close connections to Norway, also in her own family-tree.
Rest in peace, Queen Elizabeth II.
