I have had the pleasure of seeing Roxette perform live 4 times and were the band I went to see for my first ever concert in Glasgow in July 1992. I fell in love with them when It Must Have Been Love was released and bought every CD album, single, video and poster I could find. My best friend Caroline Lennox was also a huge fan and saw them perform at Ingliston, Edinburgh in November 1994. Sadly my best friend passed away also from cancer in September 2017 and she never had the chance to see the band perform again although we had planned to travel to Berlin in July 2016 to attend a concert however these were sadly cancelled due to Marie’s ill health. Marie was our teenage years, our twenties and our thirties. I often listen to Roxette as it brings happy memories of my best friend and why I fell in love with Roxette in the first place. No group have ever come close to my love for Roxette. Glasgow July 2012 and Berlin June 2015 were my final two concerts and I will cherish those memories forever too. Sleep tight Marie and thank you so much for the memories. Just like Caroline you certainly had The Look xxx
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.
