Today it's a sad day for many of us. Marie will live always in our heart. My thougths are today with her and her family. Vila i frid, Marie.
Remembrance book for Marie Fredriksson
Dear fellow friends, dear fans of Marie Fredriksson, dear Roxette fans, dear kind people in this world,
our friend Marie has passed away on December 9, and many, many people in the world are heartbroken and would like to express their feelings. Not everyone can do so on the social media, not everyone can do so by coming to Sweden and signing the official remembrance book laid out in Stockholm.
We want to collect your thoughts, your grieve, but also your finest memories with Marie here. Please write down what you always wanted to say to her, we will collect each single entry of yours, put them into one single book and send it over to Marie’s family to show them how much she made this world better through you.
Thank you.
[All entries made before January 1, 2020 were taken over for the book. You will still be able to add your messages now but we cannot consider them for the book to Marie’s family anymore as it has been printed by now.]
The Daily Roxette had one copy of the book printed early January 2020 and handed it over to Marie Dimberg, Roxette’s manager and a very good friend of Marie Fredriksson and her family, in Göteborg on January 20, 2020. The printed version of the book is nearly 800 pages thick and it has a white cover. Its title “Tack för allt Marie” (Thank you for everything Marie) is written in silver and red letters on its sleeve.
Here you see some quick photos of the book, sadly there has never been a chance to take proper photos of this one copy as it arrived just before the evening we headed to Göteborg for the “En kväll för Marie Fredriksson” show.
If you are interested, you can download a simplified version (the printed version contains a few more blank pages to separate the chapters, for instance) of the book with all entries right here.
The entries are sorted alphabetically by names, this file is also searchable.
Entries with non-latin character sets are at the very end of the book. Most URLs have been removed as they make little sense in a printed book.

I'll never forget you. Marie Will live in my heart and my soul for never!
Sweet, beautiful Majsan,
Since the first moment I heard your voice back in 1989 you captured my heart. You've made my life so much more beautiful. Colored my emotions with your singing. Thank you for being such an inspiration. Strong, wonderful and kind to everyone. My heart is a little bit broken now. Things will never be the same. You're not gone though, you're still in there. My love for you is eternal. That will never change...
Dear Mikael, Josefin and Oscar, I wish you all the strength in the world to cope with this intens pain.
RIP majsan ?

Roxette was my inspiration for many many years. Marie was somehow a sort of a teenage crush. I Will miss her.

The world has lost a truly beautiful artist. You're music was as beautiful as your voice. May you rest in peace. You will live in in the hearts of anyone who knew you and listened to your beautiful voice. ❤️
La dueña de tantas grandes canciones que marcaron nuestra juventud... Vivirás eternamente en nuestros corazones.
Mi más sentido pésame para la familia de Marie. Me ha entristecido muchísimo la noticia de su fallecimiento, he aguantado las lágrimas. Marie, Roxette ha sido un referente en mi vida, vuestras canciones me han hecho reír, llorar, cantar y bailar casi todos los días de mi vida, te vas dejando el gran legado de tu voz y de tu talento y sobre todo de esa gran educación de la que hacías galardonado. Descansa en paz, en el cielo junto a los Ángeles entonareis las mejores melodias, un fuerte abrazo a toda la familia, vivirás siempre en nuestros corazones.
Te conocí hace 31 años. Tarareabas Nanananana Nananananana y luego decías: She's got the look. Y me llegó al alma esa voz y su magia, TU MAGIA, a partir de ese día tuve un grupo favorito, ya no sólo era mecano, ahora tenía el binomio perfecto que me ha acompañado toda mi vida desde entonces: Mecano y Roxette. Fue un amor a primera vista que fue creciendo más y más con los años. Has estaso en todos mis momentos bienos y malos, felices y tristes. Siempre cantándome, susurrándome, tarareándome y después de todo, tu sonrisa y esa mirada profunda que decía: todo va a ir bien. Y fue bien hasta que tu voz se ha apagado para siempre y me has dejado sola. No sólo he admirado tu voz, tu energía o tu magia, sino tu persona y la fuerza y el coraje con el que has vivido. Has sido un ejemplo para todos y no voy a olvidarte nunca. Siempre serás mi voz favorita esa que no sólo canta sus canciones sino que te hace vivirlas junto a ti y sentirlas. Le has dado vida y color a todas ellas y a todos tus fans. Siempre te estaré agradecida y siempre recordaré los dos conciertos a los que acudí y pude mirarte a los ojos y ver un alma buena. Te quiero Marie, y eso no lo cambia nada. Vuela alto y no dejes de cantar allá dnd estés y no dejes de cantarles a los q ya te estaban esperandos. Qué solos nos dejas. Vivirás para siempre en mí. Hasta siempre. Te dedico mis 3 canciones favoritas tuyas: Spending my time, crash boom bang y The look pues gracias a ella, nos conocimos. Me ha dolido mucho tu pérdida tan inesperada. Nunca te olvidaré. Un beso grande y cántanos desde el cielo. Seguro que te oiremos. Hasta siempre. Un placer haber coincidido en esta voda. Isa.
Non ho mai sentito il bisogno di scrivere 2 righe per gli artisti che sono venuti a mancare,ma sento che con voi devo farlo.
Con la vostra musica ho conosciuto quello che adesso è il mio migliore amico e quella che adesso è mia moglie.
Quindi volevo ringraziarvi x questi avvenimenti importanti grazie alla vostra musica. Forever Roxette
R.I.P. Marie❤️
Her voice and music was pure joy and the soundtrack to my teenage years.
Much love from Italy.
God bless.
I cannot understand my teen years without Roxette songs and Marie’s voice playing really loud on my walkman and later on my discman.
Thanks for the memories that your songs bring back.
I've been fan of Roxette since 1995 maybe, but yesterday and maybe 3 or 4 days I was listening so kuch to that amazing songs and the Marie's beautiful voice, I don't know why it maked me feel a little sad and nostalgic, today was shocking to see the very sad news, i'm still crying, she will be forever missed thank you for the good music and the magical nights listening to it ❤⚘
Sad news.
Thank You Marie for all the great Vocal Art, Songs, Music - and bringing a Light into this world.
Rest in Peace: ???☮️?? ...and sing with the Angels

Dear Marie, I have no words to tell you how much you meant to me and how much I wished I could have met you in person to tell you. It has always been in my bucket list, for many, many years. Now this dream won't come true anymore and this is so sad, beyond sad, because I always wished so much to let you know how many times you and Per saved my life. I can't believe this is real.
I can't and I don't want to. It was when I was a kid that I got captivated by your voice, and by the sounds, the melodies that felt like pure magic. You followed me and accompanied me through good and bad times (of there were many), gave me hope, gave me strength, distraction and could Lift me up or just give my innermost feelings a voice. I always wished I could sind like you, and though many people told me already that I had a good voice, I know I will never reach you, Marie. But I just realized, again, in the moment of grief just how much time I have spent in the shadow when really music was all I ever wanted to do. And how quickly it could be over without me ever having lived my dream. Without anyone ever having heard my voice. Because maybe this could as well mean one day mean just as much to somebody else as it meant to me to listen to yours. So maybe this is, finally, the shot for me to take my very last chance to "Listen to my heart", as you have been trying to pursue all of your listeners for many years.
I want to thank you, Marie, for all that you gave to us, for the beauty that you gave to the world by being you. For listening to your own heart and having the courage to dream and make this world a so much more beautiful and dreamy and magical place.
All that you gave to us- it will not have been in vain.
All the love you put into this world, it will not vanish.
All the magic that you created, it will keep touching hearts for many generations to come.
Beautiful Marie, you will be missed so dearly.
I never thought you would leave, not so soon.
We are all very sad and very touched by these news. Devastated.
But we will be forever grateful for the greatest gifts that you could leave here with us.
I will never forget these two concerts that I was lucky enough to see you perform. And that is how I will try to look at it. Though my heart is broken, I am thankful I was able to see you, hear you and breathe the same air as you. Just to see you and realize that you were real, as your voice seemed so out of this world sometimes.
I hope you find your peace, Marie.
You shouldnt have gone, not so soon. Not in such a way as you did.
We will never forget you, please don't forget us.
We love you.
Thank you for everything.
Thanks Marie, you makes happiest our lives. Thanks for being here since my childhood. We earn an angel.-
I have no words to describe this sadness.... It was a wonderful time that I spent with my friends dancing and singing this songs. Love you forever and thank you for your legacy...
Roxette always was in my life from the years when i was Young and in School i Fall in love with music and Roxette songs. I had BIG poster on the Wall in my room of Marie and Per and i was leasing Roxette songs and try to Sing like Marie "leasing to My Heart" always in my heart, head and soul. You Roxette special and Marie voice Will always be with me. Thank you very much Marie for all love you give in music to send emocial to all People and you was for all my life and Your music Will be always with me. Thank you. R. I. P ???
I was introduced to Roxette in the early 90's. I would listen to Marie's powerful voice through my teenage years. Both the good times and my most darkest of times. Always waiting to hear that they're touring so I can see them live.
When I left for college, mine like everyone one of their fans' lives would change forever. After Marie's accident, my focus shifted. Hoping for the best and fearing the worse. I soon accepted my wish of seeing one of my favorite bands live would never happen.
20 years after first being introduced to their music. In 2012, my boyfriend was not going to let me miss the opportunity. After having a car accident and my apartment catching on fire. My "One Wish" came true...
Marie you were one of a kind, an inspiration, a loving person to everyone on and off stage. It was an honor to have shared this world with someone as beautiful as you.
