Darling Marie,
I was just a skinny pimply teen when I was first graced with your amazing talent with you” Look Sharp” album. I was instantaneously hooked by your voice, talent and upbeat addictive tunes. Your songs have been with me in my own highs and lows in life and I have followed your battle with cancer as much as I’ve been able to in Australia. This morning I watched “It must’ve been love” that you sung live in 2015 in your signature black leather jacket and blue jeans and what a voice you had still after all your sickness. You will be in my heart forever like your songs as they have touched my heart like no other music out there. I tried to get the same hairstyle a few times but it never looked as amazing as yours, I must’ve had a crap hairdresser lol lol. After hearing of your passing today I have been crying and a bit inconsolable. Your are a true inspiration to me and to millions of others. I will continue to thrash your music till I myself pass. THANKYOU MARIE THANKYOU for being there for me with your amazing, touching, professional performances all over the world. A true hero in my eyes. RIP Lovely Lady. Sending much love to your family and friends, colleagues and of course Per. Thankyou again and God Bless you as you gain your angelic wings as I know you will keep on performing in heaven. No more pain and suffering.
All my love

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.

Miss Roxette youre not be forgotten your music will always be in my playlist.

I can’t remember my teenage days without Marie’s voice! It’s impossible to think about those years without all the love songs to dream with my first kiss! Her voice was sweetest one taking about love! Thank you very much, Marie... for the voice full of love in my greatest dreams ever!
I wish you all the love and light in this new journey!
I was so broken today. Marie passed and I saw the news online, as many did. It was as though, for a moment, I became a sad and frightened five year old all over again. I cried. I wept for all that we lose when a beautiful soul leaves the world. And I wept for my own loss as well. My dad introduced me to Roxette when I was a small child. He would pop in the VHS of videos that he had and I would dance and sing and laugh. Most of the rest of my early years were spent starving and crying and nearly dying...but that voice. An angel's voice. It lived in my dreams and kept me dancing. Throughout my life, through joy and heartbreak, through life changes and disruptions, I have come back to that voice. Music is the truest universal language, it saves us all, at one time or another...and always. I am sad today, that she has left this world...but now the universe will carry her voice. She has joined the stars and will shine her silver blue light forever. Tomorrow, and in times to come, it will still be sad...loss always is, but she left so much behind to love. To remember. To cherish. Forever. Thank you, Marie, for saving my life, again and again, may you be at peace, and may your loved ones know just how deeply you touched the world with your voice.
My thoughts and prayers to Marie Fredriksson and her family. Myself and the world are grateful for your beautiful angel voice that had touched our souls. We will forever miss you, MARIE FREDRIKSSON. ~Roxette fan.
What a charismatic lady with a beautiful voice which is closely linked to my youth! The world has lost a great artist, a strong lady who is for me unforgettable. And I have always tried to follow her advice to "listen to my heart".
Rest in peace, dear Marie, and thank you! Lots of love to her family...
Que Papai do Céu te receba de braços abertos. Você foi minha primeira paixão de adolescência! Me sinto muito mal com seu desencarne, mas sei que você descansou!
Ouvirei sempre suas músicas!!!
Fará muita falta!
Te amo, Marie!!!
My lovely Marie,
I grew up listening to Roxette's song, your powerful voice and music meant the world to me! My sister and me couldnt wait always to buy your new albums... we feel heartbroken to hear the sad news today, you will be forever missed. I am just now very happy to have enjoyed and seen one of your concerts in London in 2011, I could finally make my dream true and watch my all time favourite band live!. I can only think how much sadness you have left in your family, Per and other friends. My thoughts are with them now. Rest in Peace beautiful soul, you have been a warrior and never gave up.
Thanks for your music from the bottom of our hearts!
It definately must have been love ❤️

Falar de Roxette e de Marie é lembrar de bons momentos da minha vida. O primeiro presente que ganhei da minha primeira namorada foi uma coletânea dessa grande banda. Obrigado por compartilhar conosco sua grande voz Marie. Descanse em paz.
Simplemente GRACIAS GRACIAS GRACIAS!! Things will never be the same...Primer show
en Córdoba Estadio Chateau Carreras año 1992. Noche fría la luna gigante y al empezar el show, parecía que el estadio se caía, una hermosa locura que nunca olvidaré, como temblaba esa tribuna. Hermosos recuerdos. Only hanks thanks thanks....
No lo podía creer hoy cuando supe la noticia, mi cantante favorita de infancia, de adolescencia y de mi vida adulta había emprendído su viaje a la eternidad. Golpeaste al mundo con tu música, con tu increíble voz que ahora extrañaré. Gracias por ser parte del soundtrack de mi vida, gracias por dejarnos las mejores canciones.
Fuiste, eres y serás para mi... LA MEJOR.
Te extrañaremos Marie!!!!
obrigado por voçê ter existido e fazer parte de nossas vidas!!! te amamos muito!!descanse em paz MARIE!!!
I grew up listening your songs. It must've been love was the first ever song that brought you to me. From that day i was your big fan. Like me you have blowed everybody's mind through your music. When i am in trouble i sing your song " Listen to your heart when it's calling for you". Yesterday night i heard this news and i felt so sad. Though you're not here but your music and spark of yours will always be twinkling like a star. I hope you are rocking there in heaven too. Deep condolence to her family. Love you Marie. Love from Nepal.
Querida Marie, cuando mis padres, a los 11 años, me regalaron mi primer casette, era de Roxette, luego descubrí que esa voz hermosa voz provenía de una hermosa mujer. Hoy mis hijos escuchan tus canciones, y repiten, como si en la sangre lo lleváramos, "dress for success", gracias por exisitir, gracias por tu belleza y por tu talento, estarás siempre en nuestros corazones. Descansa en paz, lo mereces.
The first time I heard her voice I was 3 years old or so and I loved Roxette since then. I'm very sad about this news. My deepest condolences.
Her music will keep her memory alive forever and she'll stay in our hearts forever too. Hugs for her family and band mates.
Querida Marie, hermosa reina , luchadora, ejemplo de vida y de fuerza. Hoy nos dejaste físicamente, pero por siempre estarás en nuestros corazones por haber marcado nuestras vidas, cada simple momento , fuiste parte de toda mi infancia, mi adolescencia, y ahora con 42 años sigo admirandote como el primer día que escuché por la radio Perlas de Pasión, cada canción, cada letra , tu voz y tu bella sonrisa quedarán en mi por siempre. Descansa en Paz. Gracias por darnos tanta felicidad. Te vamos a extrañar demasiado. Te amamos ❤️
My Deepest Sympathies,
An incredible talent and wonderful lady who made amazing music but also help shape a generation. Thank you for being our inspiration. Much love. Brooke xx

Spending My Time was one of the first songs in English I remember hearing and thinking that I needed to understand the lyrics. I was very young, I think it was part of the soundtrack of a brazilian soap opera. I remember feeling frustrated because I couldn't sing like that, but then I realized that nobody else but Marie could. This is a very sad day.
