“Be the father who cheered on” • The wife does the first TV interview ever – the whole family together
When Tomas Ledin is celebrated in “What a life!” the two sons John and Theo appear in the audience.
The whole family is gathered and wife Marie does her first television interview ever.
Once there, the popular artist receives love from everyone.
– He was the typical example of the father who stood at the edge and cheered on, says eldest son John.
In the season premiere of “What a life!” Tomas Ledin is the first to be praised. On site at the Oscar Theater in Stockholm, there are a number of people who have come there to surprise the popular artist, such as Lena Philipsson, world star Johnny Logan, Toma’s old roommate Scott from the USA – and his family.
The wife of 40 years, Marie Ledin, comes on stage. The presenter Renée Nyberg states that it is rare to see Marie in such contexts, and Marie tells us that these are her first television interviews ever.
– He is very kind, caring, cute, says Marie when she describes her husband.
Sons John and Theo Ledin are also present.
– He has actually always prioritized the family. I played a lot of floorball when I was little and he was the type of father who stood on the sidelines and cheered. And drove to all the practices, says John.
Then they got the puzzle to fit together
Tomas tells how they solved the family puzzle during the long periods he was away.
– It was a dilemma when I was away on tour for long periods. But then we had a rule, if they wanted to meet me, we arranged that a day or two later they could join the tour where I was. That’s how it was during all those summers, says Tomas.
But he also gets a boot.
– Cooking is perhaps not Toma’s music, he wouldn’t be able to cope without his mother, John continues.
