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.

Was so sad to hear of Marie's passing this morning.The first time I heard her voice I was mesmerized. I have been in love with Roxette since then. My deepest condolences. Her music will keep her memory alive and she'll stay in our hearts forever. Hugs for her family, friends and bandmates.

I had your album as a young teen ...your songs take me back to a time and place very distinct in my childhood ...it still hits me in the feels today and I blasted your music early this morning to wake the world so that our little bit of paradise can hear you again
An amazing talent that has left us too soon....

Marie, thank you for the memories - those beautiful love songs that are part of my must-listen songs every day. The Look with its upbeat tempo is an anthem for me to start the day. It Must Have Been Love reminded me of the iconic movie Pretty Woman. Dangerous was a song my Physical Education teacher played as we ran around the track during fitness tests. Spending My Time made me remember murky memories of feeling so small and staring at the wall. Im glad I made it to Roxette’s concert in Singapore last 2012. Saw your zeal and positive spirit on stage despite battling with your illness. Rest In Peace. I’ll be playing Roxette’s songs on my Spotify, thinking of you as an inspiration.

Merci Mary pour tout les beaux moments que tu nous a fait vivre avec ta belle voix. Quand tu as fermé les yeux pour la dernière fois, tu es parti avec mon rêve qui était de te voir une seule fois.
Bon voyage ma belle et tout la haut berce les étoiles avec ta voix.xxx

Nunca olvidaré el día que caminaba por una avenida y vi en una vidriera el cassette de Roxette. Fue amor a primera vista, entré y lo compré. Desde ese día empezó mi admiración por esta banda única. El día que te conocí en Córdoba supe que Roxette no era solo una banda, era una familia, y eso lo es todo. Mis respetos a tu familia y toda la familia roxettera. Nunca te olvidaremos. Tu voz, tus letras y tu espíritu Guerrero nos acompañarán siempre y siempre serás recordada. QEPD QUEEN MARIE???

The voice of Roxette reached me as a teenager and I worked as a young disco Jockey throughout the 1990's with this amazing voice. There after whenever I needed an Emotional rejuvenation I listened to my heart, with listen to you're heart.
I will never stop doing so.
You have been and will be in my heart forever.
