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 met Roxette as a child by my parents who were always fans. So I can say that Marie's voice accompanies my whole life! It's an honor to be a fan of the band, to be a fan of her! And it's a blessing to have many good times with her! May God receive it and bless the family! Thanks for everything! Joyride never ends!

Beautiful Marie, you brought such joy to my life since I was a kid. It was my life long dream to meet you one day and to see you sing live. Today was a hard hit for all fans, I'm just devastated. Much love to your family and friends. Hugs from Canada.

For Marie Fredriksson R. I. P. Songs for the Broken Hearted All those nights By the silver moon Dreaming of love For all the flowers to bloom Slowly drifting away To sleep through the pain Of knowing deep inside Every day is the same. I hear your song 3 minutes or more Turn on the lights And open the door It would take my hand You would bring me hope Heal my heart And fix what was broke By the morning The very next day April clouds are so far away Your voice recalls heartache long gone As you say there is someone, someone there for everyone A heart for a heart And a journey to find That starts with all that you've left behind I'll remember you always How could I really forget Your comforting voice When I was so upset Songs for the broken hearted Played on and on Because even the broken hearted Can find the one... Thank-you for everything you meant to me, I'll never forget you. ❤️

I grew up listening to Roxette, Pretty Woman is my favourite film, so It Must Have Been Love is my favourite, still play their music whilst doing housework or driving in my car, Your songs will live on in my home as they will in many others I'm sure. There is another bright shining star in the skies tonight, love to your family at this sad time

No me lo puedo creer. Eras mi artista favorita, adolescencia vivida con tu voz, tus canciones. Primeras que he traducido de ingles a polaco y he aprendido todas para poder disfrtutarlas contigo. Muchas gracias en mi corazón y memoria estaras para siempre, descansa en paz Marie 🙁

When I read of her passing, a part of my 90s passed with her. What a voice!!! Hard to match as well. So many songs part of my childhood. To her family and bandmates, my deepest sympathies and condolences on her passing. I never had the chance to see Roxette in concert, but I loved their music. Marie was a gift to this world and blessed many people with her talent; she was electric! May she rest peacefully in all eternity. The music world lost an amazing talent and will not be the same now that she's gone.
