I was only 6 years old when I was enchanted by Marie's sweet voice while listening to "Spending My Time" in 1992 ... whenever the music played on a radio station, I would run and put my ears next to the speaker, and it was like she was singing to me ... Since then I became a fan and later found out that she was also the singer of "Listen To Your Heart" and "It Must Have Been Love ", songs that I liked a lot ... So I started buying all the CDs and to know the songs that marked moments throughout my life and so it will be forever ... Fortunately in 2011 I had the chance to see 5 Roxette concerts in Brazil and to meet them in person... at the time, I was able to tell Marie how special she is to me and thank her for coming ... She was thrilled and said she was doing it for the fans ... I will never forget what she said looking into my eyes: "You are always in my heart" ... Today, I tell you, Marie, once again: you are forever in my heart! I will always listen to your songs, you will never be forgotten! Now I'm 34 and want to thank you so much for being part of my life and for such special moments and memories. You are a true inspiration. May God bless your soul. I send all my love to your husband, children, family, friends and all the Roxers around the world. Rest In Peace, Queen Marie...
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.

So much I could say about how amazing Marie was and I could tell many stories of the happiness & heart ache her songs touched me through. However, everyone knows how great her music was & no one needs me to convince them of this. Therefore, out of the utmost respect for Marie & Roxette’s I will simply say,’ u touched so many including myself & My 16 year old daughter who discovered Marie’s music & loves it too!! I just say to Marie & family, ‘We will miss u!! Thank you Marie!!!
Gracias por tanta buena musica que fue la banda sonora de hermosos recuerdos de mi juventud. Ahora mi hijo de 9 años aprecia tu musica y tiene a "the look" como su canción favorita. Descansa en paz Marie.
May you rest easy! You were one of the groups I most remember listening to in my childhood, an angels voice. Never forgotten!
Tengo 53 años y sus canciones me han acompañado a lo largo de toda mi vida, desde jovencita bailando en las discotecas. Hoy he sentido mucha tristeza al saber de su fallecimiento, me quedo con su voz inconfundible en mi pensamiento. Me seguirá acompañando. Un abrazo a su gran familia. D.E.P
Thank you Marie for being the soundtrack of my life. Thank you for being there in my deepest sadness and in my greatest achievements. Thank you for reminding me that I should Listen to my Heart, that I am Vulnerable, but I should Never Give Up! Thank you for inviting me to join this Joyride called life, thank you for sharing Your world, Your love and Your life with us. Things will never be the same because as we all know...Never is a Long Time. Liliana
It's strange how sometimes people can be such a huge part of your life even though they don't even know you exist. I feel the loss.
Roxette was my childhood. Marie was cool to me. I say this with utmost respect for her and not with the intention to be self-centered: I always wished to go to only two concerts in my life - Roxette was one of them.
I will always remember how crazily excited I felt (even though had to cover cuz I was trying to be a cool 11 year old) walking through the City Hall and climbing to its tower in Stockholm when it dawned on me that the place looks so familiar even though it was my first time there because Fading Like A Flower was filmed right there.
That might be the only time I'll ever be fully connected to them.
Thank you, Marie Fredriksson, for the all the feelings and all the memories. Things will never be the same. You left the room, and we are all fading like a flower.
Rest in peace.
Ecuador te ama Marie ahora cantas en el cielo
Mi más sentido pésame a toda la familia,en estos malos momentos.
Descanse en paz
Albert.
Marie, thank you for giving all of us strength and courage to face things. I, too, have admired you and your beautiful voice since I was a kid- it left such an impact on me. Your legacy will live on.
My deepest condolences To her family and friends . May Marie rest in paradise. I loved everything about her. Listening to her Sing was like speaking to the coolest Relative you could ever have . We have your voice and music to listen to forever and Will never forget the day I first heard her on the train. Her star will always shine from heaven. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Marie.
Jag vill ge min kondoleanser till Maries familj och lämna en stor kram.Jag vill att du ska veta att Marie i mitt liv betyder mycket, med henne lärde jag mig att sjunga, att uppskatta hennes talang och hennes musik. Hur hon överförde sensationer och känslor är unikt , hans ödmjukhet och hans uppriktiga sätt att vara med oss, hans fans gjorde att vi uppskattade den underbara personen han var. Han kommer alltid att vara med oss levande i våra hjärtan. MARIE FOREVER. från Buenos Aires, Argentina. PAOLA QUINTANA
Since the first time I heard her sing, I new I had found the singer who touched my heart just with her voice. She was a musical inspiration for me and I played her songs (as well as Roxette's songs) on my old piano trying to sing like her (something impossible). I learnt English with you, I found great friends thanks to your music. You were and will be a part of my life. Thanks for all!!
Marie, I have always loved your songs because your voice is unique. God bless you forever.
Good Karma Marie, this Will never be the same, so far away cause the seewt hello the sad goodbye. My heart was open! For you i belive in flowers un the moon AND i remeber you. My heart ITS almost unreal under the rain, pls come back before you leave, you was like Anyone and and the firts girl on the moon. Now i am crash boom bang but i listen yo muy heart. You re Will always the Queen of the rain AND gave salvation when I am vulnerable. Spending muy time with you, wish i could fly its possible. Hace a Nivel Day Marie like a June Afernoon AND dressed like a sucsses. I am fading like a flower i feel the wieigth of the world but yo are now like an Angel passing Bye. Ready for the Joyride? Now aré Fireworks un the sky. Go to Sleep, love Is all AND shine your ligth on me.
Tuve la fortuna de conocerte, de abrazarte pero lo mas importante es de oírte desde que tengo uso de razón, te llevo tatuada en el corazón Marie... canta a mis papás en el cielo por favor.
El cielo recibe a una voz imperiosa, que nos transporta a otra dimensión cada vez que se escucha, mi canción favorita siempre será Listen your hear, tu sentimiento al cantar siempre me hace vibrar el corazón, y recordar que siempre lo debemos escuchar antes de decir adios. Por siempre Marie...
Una pérdida muy grande, es parte de mi infancia, de mis día a día ya que sigo escuchando cada canción como la primera vez.
Mi pésame a una gran artista y no soy de escribir en ningún muro ... pero hoy se ha ido alguien importante que recordaré en canciones.
RIP Marie Fredriksson you was the greatest ever may Roxette music live on
This, has broken my heart. How special can a person be that hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people all over the world, who do not know her, love her. The combination of Marie,Per and the band gave us music that became an important part of my life. Her beautiful distinct voice will continue to be with me forever. XXX
Se fue una gran persona. Una gran vos. Un grupo musical que con la vos de mari iso vibrar varias generaciones de lo 90 . Fue una batalladora con esta cruel enfermedad.! Dios la tenga en la gloria y la cobije y la resiba y que nos ilumine y nos cante del cielo con su hermosa vos. QEPD Mari.!! Mi más sentido pésame para la familia.! De un admirador que la quiere y Recordara siempre.
