Abaculi bakhiphe i-albhamu ye-Fakkeltog, engakaze ithole ukuthandwa okuthandwayo, ayizange iqhubeke.
Ngemva kokuwa kweqembu, uPaul noMagne banquma ukuzama inhlanhla futhi baya enhloko-dolobha yaseNgilandi, kodwa lo mzamo awuphumelelanga.
Baphinde bamema uMorten Harket ukuba ahambe, kodwa wenqaba futhi wahlala eNorway. Eminyakeni emibili kamuva, abafana basalokhu bencenga uMorten ukuba abe umculi weqembu elisha ababefuna ukulenza, futhi wavuma.
