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 want to remember you like that, at the Barcelona concert in 2011. I will never be able to return all the emotions you gave me.
A warrior until the end.

I was 16 when I bought my very first CD. It was Roxette's. I was in USA and it helped me there. I'm so grateful I had the chance to see Marie live in Recife, Brazil. Unforgettable.

As I type this my mind is still trying to take the news of your passing in Marie. I've grown up on Roxette's music, that voice, those lyrics and riffs. A giant part of my childhood has now gone. I just want to say thank you for being an influence in my life for some 30 plus years. My tears have not stopped since I found out.
Roxette's music spoke to me on so many different levels. From heart wrenching ballads that would give me strengh or make me cry, to happy go-lucky fun songs that cheered up the day. You had a song for every mood. In a day and age were bands and solo artists constantly push out the same depressing junk, it was just a breath of fresh air listening to your music. And it never got stale. It would speak to me, I could relate to it, it was a pick me up. Ever since I was a 12 year old in the late 80's I've listened to you and G's work. I thank you both, especially you Marie for those wonderful times. I'
Rest in peace Marie, and thank you so so much for everything that you did for the fans. I'm grateful to be one of them. I'll never forget you, and you will live on in the hearts of those who love you. Sleep well xxx

Such a sad day. The world is a poorer place without the fabulous Marie. I've spent 30 years listening to your fabulous songs and am pleased that I managed to be at one of your last concerts at the O2 in London. Rest in peace beautiful lady xx

So desperately sad to hear of your passing Marie. Your voice and spirit has lit up my world for 30 years and it will continue to do so forever.

Hoje o dia amanheceu mais triste com essa notícia.
Queria ter palavras para espressar toda a alegria que senti quando realizei meu sonho de ir no show que vcs fizeram aqui em Basília foi surreal pra mim.
Suas músicas serao eternas e sua voz inesquecivel.
Me sinto orgulhosa de ser fã de vcs e de ter feito tantos amigos se tornarem também.
