I will always remember you as a window to a summer breeze. A shining light, a star which made my world comes true and brought me happiness when darkness seemed to be the only option. Thanks for bringing light, hope and life to my life, to our lives. My heart is broken, but I'm happy because I had the chance to know you, and to see you, to hug you... so close to me. Thank you for being part of my life!
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.

Roxete, your songs marked my teenage years. Marie, thank you and rest in peace.
Me cuesta creer que ya no estés, fuiste una parte importante de mi vida, con tu voz marcaste etapas en la misma..y hoy al recibir la noticia, lloré mucho., muchísimo...es como si me me hubieran quitado una parte de mi pasado. Mis más sentidas condolencias a su amada familia, se por lo que estaran pasando. Además de ser una excepcional cantante y compositora, fue una gran guerrera, luchando todo este tiempo..quizas Dios la queria a su lado..y el cielo..ganó un Ángel .. Descansa en paz MARIE..jamas te voy a olvidar!!
This hurts my heart. When I was diagnosed at 12 with Crohn’s I was supposed to listen to breathing tapes to help with the pain. I couldn’t do it. They were boring and monotone. Instead, my sister would put on a Roxette CD and I would sing to help with pain management. This would go on over and over for hours. When I was 17, I won an autographed shirt for submitting an essay to their fan club. I still cherish that shirt today. Thank you Marie, for helping me in ways you’ll never know. Music is a great healer. RIP
I was so sad to hear of Marie's passing. Her music and the music of Roxette colored the pages of my teenage years and continue to do so throughout my adulthood. She's such a beautiful soul and will be missed by so many. I send love and prayers to her family and friends and Per Gessle as well. Her memory will remain with me for the rest of my days on this earth and I will continue to enjoy the music of Roxette! Sleep easy with the angels Marie!
Rest in peace Marie You had an incredibile voice and inspired me with your strenght.

Hoje morre um pedaço da minha vida pois minha adolescência eu vivi Roxette
Maria vá em paz que Deus lhe proteja e lhe receba de braços abertos.
Dearest Marie's family and Roxette,
My deepest condolences to you. It's been a real joyride listening to your voice ever since I got my first cassette at the age of 11, before the days of easily repeating dressed for success. You've brought me so many wonderful memories and helped me through the most trying of times. I'm so glad that I got to see you once in concert in your latter years although I missed you when you cancelled a much earlier one in Sydney. I learned later it was because of the personal struggle you were undergoing and it touched me, with your life, families, friends and work ethic.
You're my favourite musicians and I believe you've made the world this world a better place in your own way, bringing joy to so many souls.
Your legacy will always look sharp.
Your fans will continue to honour you.
Rox on!

Rest In Peace, Marie. You were a beautiful artist, with a graceful soul. You’re legacy will live on forever in all of our hearts.
She had her 2nd chance and took bravely the stage to say goodbye to generations of Roxette lovers. “livet är så kort. Allt för kort för att gömmas bort. Du lilla sparvöga flyg över ängarna” She signed my Sparvöga single gently, in Porto Alegre, Brazil, telling me that it was her favorite song too. Listening to her solo albums in Swedish was immerse myself in her personal world and in the inner tranquility of Scandinavia, which represents a lot to me.
Sparvöga is a metaphor for life and death, like a little bird flying free in the hills. I remember my first time and last day in Stockholm , I was walking by the city hall, and suddenly Sparvöga started to play from somewhere , it was such a deja vu and a real dream, my eyes had burst into tears. She is a huge part of my good memories. Her voice is something from another world. We are all shining a light for her way. Whatever the fabulous world she is, she may already be singing there
So sad to hear you passed away Marie ???. I'll be missing you so much... Be tough Per... All Roxette's songs always in my heart...
So very saddened to hear of Marie's passing. She was a truly amazing artist, loved her music and her voice. She was an icon. I've been a fan since the beginning and still listen to her music today. She will surely be missed. R.i.P Marie. Thank you for the music and memories, and may you continue to rock, on the other side.
The world woke up sad today... we lost one of the greatest artists ever. Your voice and songs made my teen years so much more colourful and happy. Thank you for everything. May God soothes the hearts of all of us who loves you. Rest in peace! Now you can sing with the Angels.
