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.

Thanks Marie for all the wonderful memories from my teenage years. Your voice and music helped me get thru hard times. Then seeing you back performing after your battle with health issues gave me the strength and courage to face my own battle against cancer. You are gone too soon but your music will continue living in our hearts.
maries's voice and roxette's music has helped me overcome some tough times in my life.,,seeing them in concert in boston in 2012 was a dream come true...it was standing room so i waited for hours to be able to be right up front...right in front of marie and she was fantastic,,,it was everything i hoped it would be and i will never forget it...i have roxette album promo posters framed throughout my house...it will be a while until i can hear "breathe" or "reveal" or "a thing about you" and not cry my eyes out...my thoughts are with her loved ones...i am devastated
Siempre estarás en los recuerdo de quienes tuvimos la suerte de creser escuchando tu hermosa vos y tus canciones,los fui a ver en el 2002 a Montevideo y esos recuerdos van a quedar para siempre. Descansa en paz querida Marie!!
My first dance in high school with a boy was with song "crash boom bang"
Thanks to her for be one important part of my teeneger time
Her beautiful voice never will die
It’s difficult to write when you have tears in your eyes, but I will try. Marie was an angel; her death is a terrible lost. I started to follow Roxette since 1994 and the Crash! Boom! Bang! album. It had a huge impact on me, she represented that rebel young spirit, so pure, so authentic that is unique in the world. With her voice, with her rebel spirit, with her sweetness, she taught me to fight. Today I have read that she passed away, and is not here anymore. The world is gray and sad again. She was that spark of light, of happiness that created the best memories in my life. Now, she is not here anymore, and I feel something from inside my soul, died also with her. I will miss her terribly, and I only can dream with an eternal paradise, in which angels will sing with her, forever. Thanks Marie, thanks for being with us, thanks for so much days of happiness, thanks for being a rebel and tell us to fight when everything was wrong. Infinite thanks, from the deepest of our hearts and souls. We’ll see you soon, in the heaven.
Tu voz siempre estará con nosotros, mujer fuerte con voz de ángel. Me inspiraste tantas veces. Canté contigo millones de veces y aunque no lo creas, también lloré!
Eres LUZ y brillarás por siempre en nuestros corazones.
Nadie como tú! Feliz viaje a una nueva dimensión!
Saludos con amor y admiración desde la mitad de la tierra (Ecuador). Diosa y genia!
Tu fan y admiradora por SIEMPRE;
Estefania ❤️❤️❤️ (Your fan FOREVER)
"Dressed for sucess" was the first song in which I ventured to sing solo in high school music lessons, wielding a broomstick, totally "like a star" and feeling rebellious (with compliments for being very tuned and high pitched, according to the teacher Liana).
It was also the first big show I watched in 1992 at Gigantinho (and I had the opportunity to review it in 2011 with my best friend César Meert). The first time, I was 11 years old and bothered my mom to buy the ticket - and like a good leonine, I got it. In 15 minutes of chat, a couple of lovers in line offered to come with me and take care of me. I remember my joy of climbing on the chairs and singing all the songs I knew decor. On the way out, giving my mother a tight hug that waited for me in front of the stadium on that chilly May 6th.
Roxette was love at first sight and the beginning of my concert career. It will undoubtedly be forever in my heart!
To this warrior named Marie: Rest in peace and stay dressed for success in heaven! #RIPMarieFredriksson
Gracias x tanto Marie!!! Ahora sos eterna
Los mejores años de mi vida los disfrute con Roxette, y la maravillosa voz de Marie. Pude verlos hace unos años en un concierto en Lima. Las letras y las melodías son las mejores que he escuchado. Me apena muchísimo tu partida Marie, pero se que estas en lugar mejor. Extrañaremos tu presencia, pero vivirás siempre en nuestros corazones. Hasta siempre Marie
Mi más sentido pésame a la banda de Merie's Rossette y familia por labperdida de una gran cantante Dios la tenga en su gloria, mi juventud la vive escuchando la música de la banda buenas épocas que quedarán como recuerdos, descanse en paz una gran cantante
Thank you for the music Marie.
Your soulful voice brought Pers lyrics to life.
Roxette was the first concert I went to way back in 1995.
Mum toon me and has always been a fan as well.
Deepest sympathies to your family and especially your children as losing a parent is devastating no matter how old you are.
Lots of love to you all from Australia.

Thanks for all the memories, the feelings and the music .... you’ll be missed but always in my mind, my heart is broken but will always bring a smile to my face as the sound of your voice arrives to my ears, lots of love from Mexico .... huge hug and prayers to all who were touched by your grace.
As a child I dreamed of being her. I've always admired voice, style, everything about her. Wretched loss. Very sad day. May Marie now rest in peace
Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice with the world and making it a much brighter place .
May you rest in peace , you will be missed
Gracias Marie Frediksson, todos los días escucho Roxette y nunca paro de sorprenderme al escuchar la voz de Marie y el gran sentimiento que le pone a sus canciones. Sufro de depresión, cuando me siento triste escucho alguna canción de Roxette para subir el ánimo y sentirne feliz por estar vivo y tener la oportunidad de escuchar la gran voz de Marie.
Roxette forma parte de la banda sonora de mi vida, gracias Marie por eso y más
When I saw the news that you passed away I couldn’t believe, to me you are imortal … your music and energy will never be forgotten … reste in peace Marie ❤️❤️❤️
I saw the news this morning and it was like punch to the gut. It lasted with me all day and into this evening. But that’s not how I want to remember Marie. I remember first hearing It Must Have Been Love when I was just a teenager and immediately fell in love. I bought every album and listened to them with friends all the time. I remember my first overseas trip and they had The Sweet Hello The Sad Goodbye on the plane and I timed out how long the radio loop was so I could listen to it over and over again. I fell deeper in love with every album. The Joyride tour was my very first concert and I still have the concert t-shirt to this day. Every time I want to remember those halcyon days of my childhood, I turn on Roxette. Every time I hear Roxette, I feel happy. I love that’s the legacy that Marie left me. To her family, may she rest in power for being a fighter and amazing artist. Things will never be the same, but they are better because she was in this world.
Formaste parte de mi juventud, descansa Marie en la gloria de Dios, queda tu legado con tus canciones.
Marie, thank you for sharing your beautiful voice and music with the world! I love Roxette when I was young and still today! May you Rest In Peace!
