May you rest in peace Marie you beautiful lady xxx I have been a massive fan of yourself and your music with alongside per gessle and roxette since 1989 when I first went crazy about 'the look'! I remember I got jealous when school friends of mine in 1990 started loving you and your band when you released "it must have been love" and I was like but I loved you 1st! Me and my dad spent hours one day searching for "it must have been love" when you released it in 1990 but everywhere had sold out and I remember how chuffed I was when in our final shop we tried we managed to get the last copy.
I have bought all of your albums and I am so glad and privileged I got to see you twice in concert. I was overwhelmed on both occasions.fantastic performances! I wish I could have got to meet you in person. Thank you for my favourite music of the last 30 years and I will miss you greatly. Xxx RIP Marie xxxx
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.

To the family of Marie,
So very sad for your loss. Marie was a beautiful kind talented woman. I've been a fan of Roxette for 30 years! I saw Roxette three times in concert. Absolutely amazing. I would have loved to have meet Marie. She will be sadly missed by all her fans! Beautiful lady. Beautiful voice. Thank you for your music and special memories. R.I.P Marie ❤
Saw Roxette for the first time in Dublin in 2012, then again twice in 2015 in both Dublin and London. Though I was only born in the mid 80’s I LOVED Roxette since I was a teen. I was fascinated with Marie. Her voice was something from heaven and her cool looks created the perfect recipe for what I can only describe as one of the worlds greatest artists that ever lived.
RIP Marie. X
I’m a Roxette fan since 1991. I will always remember the strengh and at the same time her weakness when I saw Marie live in Paris in 2015. Today is a really sad day to me. I feel like I lose a member of my family. She will always be alive in my heart. Rest in parce dear Marie.
Marie, you will aways be my biggest star. Thank you for giving so much love to my adolescence in the 90's and teaching me what it means to fight for life. Now, the "sweet hello" turns to "sad goodbye". I love you!
Ho visto Marie due volte in concerto a Locarno, l‘ultima nel 2015 quando era già vistosamente debilitata dalla malattia. Ha trasmesso tanta forza a tutti. Ci mancherai piccola grande donna!
RIP
Thank you, dearest Marie, for sharing your beautiful voice with us! I was lucky enough to hear you live in 1994. You have been part of my life since I was a mere teenager and I have carried you along with me during all these years. Now that you’re gone, it seems like a part of me has died too. Your legacy will live on like the legend you are and you shall never be forgotten.
My sweet sweet Marie, your voice sings the soundtrack of my life. I have been a true fan, a devoted follower of your talent, class and beauty! I will never forget you and I will sing for the rest of my life your every single song! Your family and coworkers have been blessed by your presence and your fans too! Hope I meet you some day...
Te has marchado como una luchadora dejándonos un legado de recuerdos preciosos plasmados en tus canciones no te olvidaremos nunca Marie te queremos y nos dejas el corazón roto ,somos consciente del sufrimiento que has tenido con esa terrible enfermedad , descansa en paz mi Ángel??
Dear Marie,
Thank you for everything, your voice is the soundtrack of my life.
Rest in peace my friend. God bless you.
You will be forever in my heart.
Love is all!!
I am grateful for almost 30 years of wonderful music that has built me, made me think and cry and has always conjured up a smile on my face again. Marie has impressively shown me that you should never give up and what an incredible fighter she was. I'll miss her forever, but her music and memories will remain forever! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I am truly devastated to learn of Marie’s passing... Roxette has been with me since childhood and well into my adult life. I was so thankful to see Roxette on their last Australian tour. Marie was quite unwell but to see her give her all just made the night so much more special.
Thank you for the many years of wonderful music and may you RIP.
Thoughts are with your beautiful family and friends.

Thanks Marie for everything . You makes my life so much better with your beautiful voice . My life and life of my best friend Patrícia ( in memorian for câncer to). Good bye my Diva ???
I grew up with Marie's voice and will always have her music in my heart. I remember how my brother brought home a cassette with the Joyride album and my life changed forever. I am happy that I fulfilled my biggest dream to listen to her live in Sofia in 2011. And then the last time just few years ago. I am crushed. Marie will remain the Greatest! Lots of love from Bulgaria!
Thank you for the beautiful music. Rest in peace x
I discovered Roxette when i was about 10years old, since than i always lived with Roxette music, now i’m near 30, and so heartbroken, glad i was lucky enough to see her perform couple times, wish for her family stay strong, she will always be with all of us, she changed the world. Rest in peace Marie!
Marie was my first female influence in my teenage years. She was always so funny and upbeat in interviews even though they were 20+ years old when I was 13. She and Per were perfect together and she will always be the reason why I dared to have short hair and love everyone as she was always so lovely and full of love and spirit. May it go on forever.

A beautiful woman, a mentor for many, will be truly missed, very blessed I saw her live in concert, twice in Melbourne Australia. Sincere condolences to her family, friends and fans...RIP...things will never be the same
An angel in the sky. Only that hope can comfort the hearts of those who listen to your sweet and powerful voice, which reaches us to the soul in each song. Goodbye dear Marie, I will never stop remembering you, you will live in the hearts of those who have admired you for a lifetime.
