Janne Schaffer is extorted on solvency – by burglars

Janne Schaffer, 72, is one of Sweden's leading elitarians and has worked with global stars such as Abba, Toto and Bob Marley during her career. He also had an important solo career.

In May, Schaffer becomes the guitar of four guitars and a red Larrivée guitar that Schaffer has owned since the 80s. The thieves also stole jewelry, silver and two guitarist's medals, the only one in the world. one of the medals was the "S: t Eriksmedaljen", which Janne Schaffer received in 2010.

– First of all, I do not want to put a crate sorry for me but it was a very unpleasant moment. At the same time, I made a long tour, tells Janne Schaffer

Now, the thieves have heard about the star guitarist and have asked for a sum of 200 000 SEK to repay the goods.

– That the solvency rate is so high I think I have a beast I've had on all recordings with Abba, Ted Gärdestad, Björn J: Lindh's son and on my own plates. But I do not even keep it at home. I will not tell anyone where this exists.

– Nowadays, I have fixed alarms and installed at all levels at home, because it's a rather unpleasant story. But it's now a case of police, he says, saying:

Cooperation with world star Christina Aguilera

But Janne Schiffer has also received good news from elsewhere. World star Christina Aguilera, 37, sampled a song that Schiffer wrote on her new album. It's a riff of Schiffer's song "No Registration" found on Aguilera's song "Sick of Sitting". The agreement is signed and an advance payment should be Schiffer.

– This is a song from my first album that I recorded 45 years ago. It's incredibly honorable.
