Dearest Marie, I was 12 years old when I heard "The Look" on the Radio. While I liked the song instantly, I was wondering who was singing these lovely female vocals. I bought the Look Sharp album later on and was a huge fan from then on. I remember secretly listening to the Joyride album with my best friend during religion and art classes in school thanks to my new walkman 😉 I first saw you perform live in 1991 and then 1995, 2001 and 2015. It was always a blast to attend those concerts. Your incredible voice, this great band, your and Per's energy on stage. The strong bond between Per and you...I saw the Tribute Concert on Saturday and though everyone was giving his/her best to sing your songs, nobody could really come close to your voice and your presence on stage. I am constantly thinking of your family and friends and hope they will find comfort somehow through each other. Thank you for always being part of my life, for all those goosebumps while listening to your voice, for your kind soul. May god bless you and your loved ones! Franzi
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.
