Linnea Olsson also replaced Ane Brun as a background singer, together with Jennie Abrahamson, at the concerts in North America and Europe.

I was 9 when the SO album came out, and reading my written pages between the ages of 9–14, my favourite artist was: Peter Gabriel. My favourite song: Don’t give up, Red rain, That voice again. What I dreamt of becoming: a singer, musician and artist. Had I known!!!!! I guess you all can see where I’m going with this. The conclusion being: life is truly surprising sometimes. — Jennie Abrahamson — jennieabrahamson.com, 2014 She appears on "Love Can Heal" on Gabriel's tenth album i/o.
