Europe shared a few photos from the event, stating: "Friends! We were so honoured and humbled today as our hometown Upplands-Väsby unveiled a monument in our honour as part of their 70 years celebration. We are so incredibly lucky to get recognised in this way. THANK YOU VÄSBY!" 🙏
Last week it was announced that Europe's music video for their 1986 mega-hit, "The Final Countdown", has officially surpassed one billion views on YouTube.
The band took to social media with the following message: "Unbelievable! One Billion Views! Thanks so much to everyone out there who has enjoyed 'The Final Countdown' song and video!
