R.I.P. from Czech Republic ... Thank You dear 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.

Dear Marie, you where always an inspiration. That light you projected on and off stage gave me the perfect example of what an strong woman is, to the very end. I first heard your voice as a child and since then every time I heard one of your songs, even if only by coincidence, a smile came to my heart and soul. So many memories attached to your beautiful voice and also to Per’s amazing talent. Both of you are truly great artists and it was a blessing to have shared this planet with you even when I never had the pleasure t osee you guys live. This are the words of a woman that grew up singing your songs and scaring the neighboors in the process, and even when I was struggling with my english class I could feel the feelings in your songs thanks to that amazing talent of yours. Joy, happyness, freedom, love, you gave us everything trhough your voice.
Maybe this text is not perfect, I’m still struggling you know, but I want your family to know that you left a bright mark in many hearts and … desde Perú te voy a extrañar, fuiste parte de mi vida y me ayudaste mucho aunque no lo supieras. I will trully miss you.
With a broken heart. I still can’t believe. Many songs come to my mind but one is special to me, Cinnamon Street. I grew up in a neighborhood in México City called Granjas México (Mexico Farms) in Cinnamon Street (calle canela in spanish) where i fell in love for the first time. God!, we will miss you so much!
When we were just 12 years old, my best friend’s Dad drove us up to Toronto on a school night to see our favorite band, Roxette, at Maple Leaf Gardens. I remember how incredible the show was- how much amazing music Marie and Per made together. We joined the official fan club, collected all the videos, and even the sheet music! I remember being heartbroken to hear of Marie’s diagnosis 17 years ago but was so inspired to see her continue to live her life and share her music around the world. Once again- in 2012 (20 years later) my husband and I were so excited to see Roxette in Toronto—- despite being affected by her illness, Marie was an incredible performer, and that remains one of my favorite concerts of all time. I firmly believe Roxette is one of the most unsung, under appreciated acts in pop music- they are incredibly talented, creative, and true. Since then I myself was also diagnosed with cancer, and I could empathize with Marie’s journey even more. Her strength was amazing- and the world will miss her voice. My heart is with her family, friends, Per, and everyone who loved her.
Marie's is one of the most iconic voices of my childhood and my life.
She shared her amazing gift with the world, and we are forever grateful.
As a teacher, you can be sure that I will be teaching Roxette songs to children for years to come.
Thank you Marie, and rest in peace, free from pain at last.
It must have been love.
But it's over now.
Fortaleza para sus familiares y amigos ante gran
pérdida, Marie nos deja un legado musical valioso
para la humanidad, lleno de canciones de amor y
aventuras de diversión, ahora tenemos una estrella
Llamada Marie en el cielo y en nuestro corazón.
Hasta luego Marie!
Muchas gracias por todo el talento musical que nos regalaste Marie, gracias por venir a Perú en 1995 y 2012, desde que conocí a la banda se convirtió en una de mis preferidas. Estamos apenados por tu partida, pero deseamos fuerza a tus seres queridos que te acompañan. Amamos tu música y la gran banda que formaste junto a Per Gessle. ¡Feliz viaje y gracias por tu talento!
My condolences to her family and loved ones. Another great voice left us and she was one of my favorite. R.I.P. my dear Marie Fredriksson, with love Verania.
Love Roxette's music....I'm so sad for this unfortunate news...my thoughts are with you...??????❤❤❤
Marie, you gave voice to my memories. The memories of my best years are inextricably linked to your voice. Love you. Rest in peace.
Thank you for your talent.
I remember the first time I ever heard Marie's voice - it was through my bedroom wall...my brother who is 9 years older than me had just bought a new CD..."Look Sharp" - I was aged 10 at the time. I was captivated by the beautiful yet strong voice of Marie. My love affair with Roxette began! Through my school years, I listened none stop to Per & Marie & promised myself one day I will go and see them...in 2012, I did just that...some 20 years later but I did it. I grew up with Roxette & continue to this day I choose to listen to them. Marie, what an incredibly talent lady you were - you are by far, my favourite female vocalist - you were amazing. I'm truly saddened by your death. I am so, so pleased that I was introduced to your music at a young age...I grew up with you, you are very much a part of me. I have no doubt my baby boy will be singing along with you very soon. Much love to your family & to Per. RIP Marie - you are now, so far away xx
Era 7 de.abril de 2011 y ustedes estaban por dar un recital en el orfeo superdomo en Córdoba capital _ Argentina
Tenia para el pasaje , tenía para el tiket
Tenia todas las ganas del.mundo por ir a.conocerlos y escucharlos en vivo
Pero también tenía a mi bb de apenas dos años y no podía ir
Siempre los segui dese que escuche
Debió ser amor
De la peli pretty woman
Tu vos , tu expresión
Tus sentimientos en cada nota
Los tendré en mi corazón por siempre
Te amo tocalla ( significa que tenemos el mismo nombre)
Siempre amaré escucharte
Y siempre vendrá con tu vos los mejores recuerdos con cada canción
Dios te tenga a.su lado
Mucha fuerza a tu familia y a peter
Desde muy lejos una cordobesa que siempre será.su fan
One more legend of rock that rises to heaven to be part of the choir of angels beside God ... Roxette will live forever in every song and lyrics of the most beautiful ballads you gave us with your spectacular voice, which bristled the skin of any true rock lover. Who we are true rockers, we cry, we fall in love, we drink and we found joy with her singing.
Life it's just a Joyride... Spending My Time listening to good music, always getting Dressed for Success, sometimes Sleeping in my Car, considering nothing to be Dangerous... looking for The Look in those eyes and wondering if It must have been Love.
Live forever Marie...!! R.I.P. and long life R'nR.
Age 11, I heard the most beautiful song sung by the most beautiful voice. Fading like a flower. For me the first of hundreds to follow.
I collected everything Roxette-related and visited every concert I could get to. I bought every album and could sing along all songs. My bigger sister told me, that my passion would vanish and that I would not be Roxette-Fan any more ten years later. She lost this bet. I am until today and will always be. Thank you, Marie. You were my role model, my inspiration, you gave me strength through difficult times.
Hope you have a lot of perfect days now, whereever you are and I‘m sure it is not so far away! ❤️
I was born at 1989, and my brother was the first that introduce me about Roxette. And I totally in love with Marie's voice and Roxette songs. At 2012, I wish I could enjoying Roxette concert, I couln't. Now, I wish Roxette would held another one in Indonesia, but this news, makes my wish would never happen. I will miss you Marie.... Thank you for giving my childhood a lot of beautiful songs. Rest in peace up there Marie.... You the one that makes me think that those short haircut is awesome and cool..
Things will nver be the same! Marie was a great singer and artist. She was one of my favorite singers and her songs were thepart of the soundtrack of my youth early twenties. She will be sorely missed! Rest in Peace and Sing in Heaven!
