Marie, your music touched the world. As a young girl I loved your band Roxette. I have been singing all my life and I sing professionally. I have made three CDs of different bands cover tunes but my last one was of some of your songs in memory of my beloved husband who passed away from a rare sarcoma on July 5th 2016. I know you are totally healed now and no longer in pain. I hope your husband, children, and your family can rest knowing you are their Guardian Angel.
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.

Thank you so much, Marie. I'm so glad Roxette music was part of my life, your music was the best OST for my childhood and teen years. Once again, and forever, thanks !
What sad news today, Roxettes music and Marie's voice have been a great part of my life from my early teens and on. So many lives touched by your beautiful voice. Your voice was so sweet and carried me thru relationships, breakups, good times and sad times. Truly very sad news today. Condolences to Marie's family and friends and to Per Gessel. Singing with the angels now, Rip Forever and always.
The Queen brought so much happiness and love to life. Marie was a great role model with her passion and hard work and doing what she loved. I'm not from Sweden, but I feel as though a National Treasure has been lost. Her beautiful voice has been there for me on good and bad days and will still be there always. Her uplifting message to me on the final Roxette song: "I wish you the best!" Thank you, Marie! I wish you all the best too!
Marie, your songs were rich in content, helpful in surviving in dark ages. Now you are no longer here and a gap has arisen that can not be filled - but your songs with your voice live on in us, warm our hearts, thank you for that

Formaste parte de mi adolescencia y en toda mi vida siempre te recordaré como mi primer amor
RIP, Marie... It must have been love. ?
Dear Marie,
Since the early 90s I dreamt of attending your concert one day, and in 2015 I finally managed to find an opportunity to do it. It was a breathtaking show, you were in a wheelchair but your energy was palpable, your voice was as strong as ever, and you were so very beautiful!
I love all of your songs, but Crash! Boom! Bang! will always be the one that moves me to tears every time I listen to it. Thank you so much for this masterpiece!
Rest in peace, Marie. I know you're in the angel choir now ???

Thanks for all the great songs. Rest in peace.
Que día triste!! Tus canciones me hicieron emocionar desde el primer momento, tu voz simplemente perfecta me hizo soñar como nadie, amé tu música con locura desde que era un adolescente. Que descanses en paz querida Marie.!
Olá, sou Leila Voigt... Gostaria de expressar minhas condolências à família e à todos nós que perdemos Marie... Ela sempre estará conosco guardada principalmente em nossas memórias afetivas... suas canções gravadas em cada sentimento que construímos ouvindo- A... Nao tem como não lembrar de um amor, de uma alegria assim que ouvimos as músicas do grupo Roxete embaladas pela lindíssima voz incomparável de Marie... Para mim até hoje a melhor seleção de músicas que ouvia em minha adolescência... R.I.P Marie... Minha favorita... Milk and toast
My deepest condolences to your family. Marie, ever since I heard you sing for the first time, it took my breath away, you made me forget all my worries. I never had the privilege to see you live but every time I hear your voice it makes me smile, and it always will. Rest In Peace. Love always.
As músicas da roxette na voz de marie me fazem bem! , uma bela voz! Sempre gostei nunca sera esquecida, musicas eternas que manterão sua lembra, descance em paz ao lado de deus!
Estou muito triste pela perda...suas músicas sempre lindas embalando nossos sonhos e nos fazem lembrar um tempo que não voltará mais . Só restará a saudade ...obrigada por tudo que vc significa para nós.
Roxette eterno
La bella Marie con la mejor voz hoy y siempre, canciones cómo las que ella cantaba no volverán a existir. No tuve la oportunidad de verla en conciertos pero adoré y disfrute escuchar sus canciones desde mí adolescencia hasta el día de hoy que tengo 35 años. GRANDE MARIE
Thanks for your music dear Marie. You are the soundtrack of my life. Your lovely voice, amazing songs and concerts will be always in my heart. Rest in peace ❤️
Feb 20th 2015, was the first and last time I saw you in concert at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne Australia. I have been a fan since the beginning. It was a fantastic concert and you said thank you to us after the show as you left the venue(there were only two of us waiting). A moment my sister and I will treasure for the rest of our lives. Your music will always live on forever with timeless classics.
Long live the joyride
RIP Marie, a true legend of the industry!
30 years ago, I saw on television the clip of The Look. It was love at first sight. I loved her voice, the songs and also her hairstyle. I continued to follow her and have seen several concerts. On the 'Night at the Proms' in Belgium, Marie reach out to me, to give me her flowers. It was a night I will never forget. Marie is now gone. Her voice and songs helped me through bad times. Thank you for your music, your performance, your strength and all the wonderful memories. She will always be in my heart and my mind. Lots of love to the family and friends.
Dear Marie": "Dressed For Success" especially brought me confidence during my early teen years of angst and loneliness and not knowing how to shine. The happy beat and your powerful lyrics about being your best keep on inspiring me today. Tack sa mycket xoxo.
