Dear Marie,
thank you so much! It was a pleasure to be your fan since 30 years now. I still remember the moment when I heard „The Look“ for the first time. It was in the ice cream parlor, I was 11 years old, had no clue what you were singing but one thing was the whole afternoon in our heads and we didn’t stop singing at the children‘s playground: Nananananana she‘s got the look. That was the beginning of my joyride with your music. You were not just a musician for me, you‘re a part of my life, you made the soundtrack. There are so many memories, so many wonderful concerts, so many wonderful people I met because of you and Per... And I still can’t believe that you are gone. In my head I see you sitting in Djursholm in the sun with flowers, painting, making music with Micke, enjoying your time... I hope that you‘re fine wherever you are. You can be sure that we will never forget you. You have a place in our hearts, always and forever. Thank you for that wonderful gift you gave us with the unbelievable neverending tour. It made a dream come true for me: travelling to Sweden to see your concert there... I’ll never forget that joyride with lots of magic friends...
My thoughts are with your wonderful family, all your friends and fans.
I miss you so much, Miss Effe. Lots of love from Anja.
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.
