Siento como si una parte de mi se fue contigo. Porque eso significas para muchos de nosotros que compartimos esta aventura a tu lado. Un beso hasta el cielo Marie, gracias por todo, te recordare por siempre...
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 loved ones of Marie,
Although we don't know each other, please know that you are in my thoughts. Marie became a party of my life when I was just nine years old. Boy, did I become a big fan Per and her's 30 years ago! In 1992 I even bought Marie's solo album Den Ständiga Resan just here in the Netherlands, around the corner from where I lived. I am pretty sure that Marie was one of the very few artists who was able to have a Swedish album released outside of Sweden (perhaps Scandinavia) as well! It just goes to show how people admire(d) her talent and personality.
I studied the lyrics in the booklet (and discovered to my joy that I actually understood a few parts) and was capable to sing along phonetically. I still listen to the album occasionally. Good memories and good music. One little anecdote: when I found out that a boy at my secondary school was half Swedish and spoke the language, I -in all my enthusiasm- told him I knew some Swedish as well. When I said the sentence I had learned from one of Marie's songs, he reacted angrily. Only then did I find out what 'Vem tror du att du är' exactly meant...
With this message I would like to extend my condolences to you. Although incomparable, I grief with you. Like you will carry all the memories of your beloved Marie in your heart, I will carry her music and good memories linked to her music in mine. I wish you all the best.
Tack så mycket, kära Marie.
Marie was the best person to be the lead singer of the duo Roxette. I’m feeling sorry for her family I know this will be a sad Christmas without Marie for her husband and kids since she’s gone to heaven she wasn’t old and had the most beautiful voice every time she would sing. She will be truly missed always by her family and friends and also all the Roxette fans including me. Ashley Morgan Gregory. God bless Marie’s family I’m so sorry for the loss of your mother and wife again. Merry Christmas and I hope you have a happy new year in 2020.
即使妳61歲了，在我眼裡妳永遠像我剛認識的妳那樣的美麗而有活力，在我心裡你是最搖滾女主唱?謝謝妳帶給我好多好動聽的歌曲，陪伴我渡過我的童年，Roxette永遠是我最愛的樂團，Roxette的音樂還是會一直在我們心裡不停環繞著，RIP，Marie
Even if you are 61 years old, in my eyes you will always be as beautiful and energetic as you I have just met. In my heart you are the most rock female lead singer. Thank you for bringing me a lot of beautiful songs to accompany me In my childhood, Roxette will always be my favorite band. Roxette's music will always surround us. RIP, Marie...
Tú fuiste, eres y serás la banda sonora de mi vida.
Como tú misma cantabas, sin ti, “things will never be the same”
Gracias por tu voz, gracias por hacerme sentir tanto, gracias por existir.
Seguiré escuchándote hasta que me encuentre contigo allá en el lugar donde estés.
Love you... always
❤️
“It must have been love. But it’s over now”. It's not over! Our love for Marie and her music will last forever. R.I.P Marie, Thank you Roxette! ??
Rest in peace beautiful Marie. Your voice was so rare and unique
There will never be another one like you. It must have been love,
Cause its (not) over now as you got the look.
Come on and enjoy the Joy ride. Mlike, toast, and honey will never
Taste the same. Rest in peace Roxette ???
I've been listening to Roxette since 1989 when my older brother Andrew introduced me to you all, immediately i fell in love with Marie's voice, she went from pure joy and confidence to absolute heartbreak from song to song. My brother Andrew passed away in 2013 i made a cd and Things will never be the same was played at his funeral. Was really sad but also her voice was so comforting. Pere and Marie were an outstanding duo and the music will always be in my head when i think of my brother Andrew! He was a huge fan! ❤️
Querida Marie hoy nos dejas es muy dolorosa tu partida. Eres mujer admirable y tus recuerdos viven en los corazones de los que atravez de tus voz deleitaste con todas las bellas canciones de Roxette. Hasta siempre Marie.
I love all of Roxette's songs and she was one of a kind. Lovely person with a warm heart. RIP ?
"I get Dressed For Success"..."I Spending My Time" growing in college "Listen To Your Heart", I was "Vulnerable" then and life was a bit "Dangerous" because "You Don’t Understand Me!" "It Must Have Been Love" and "Wish I Could Fly" but "Things Will Never Be The Same" because no one has "The Look". "It is Almost Unreal" but "Never Is A Long Time." I always said to myself: "You’re a Star", and I'm not gonna "Fading Like A Flower". We had a good "Joyride". Rest in peace, "Queen Of Rain" !!!???
God bless you, Marie! Your music will be always a part of my life!

I was born in 1984 and I remember listened to “vulnerable” when I was about 13-14 years old at an English class. I fell in love and I found out that my cousin had a lot of Roxette’s cds from Japan. I was blessed with all that amazing songs along my teens years and I’ve heart all that songs through all these years. I am thankful for Marie’s talented life and amazing voice. I am thankful that she had existed in this world. She and Per will be forever in my heart. Rest In Peace dear Marie. May God receive you with love.

En 1989 escuche Roxette por primera vez en mi high school de Cuba, The Look fue la cancion,todo cambio ese dia,me volvi un amante the Roxette al momento.Por muchos años escuche su musica,segui sus discos,noticias.Ahora vivo en USA desde 2005 y pude recopilar toda su discografia ,desde el 2005 hasta este momento e estado escuchando Roxette casi todos los dias,en mi casa,auto,en reuniones con mi hermano el cual tambien es amante del duo.La noticia de la muerte de Marie me dolio mucho pense que esa noticia nunca iba a llegar.Te vamos a extrañar y nunca a olvidar ,se ha creado un gran vacio en el mundo musical. Descanza en paz Marie,el cielo a ganado una estrella.
Condolences to family and friends. What amazing impact Roxette had on my teenage years when music was meaningful. Rest in peace a beautiful lady; may you hear your music forever playing from the heavans above.
Heaven now have a new Angel. Marie And Roxette Always in my heart.
Ciao Marie, ti ho apporezzato tanto come musicista, ti ho sempre amato e seguito. Ancora di più da quando ho saputo della tua malattia. Ti ho sentito ancora più vicina quando anch'io mi sono ammalata, ho avuto un cancro al seno, sono ormai quasi 5 anni che mi curo. È terribile questa malattia. Ti seguivo in questi ultimi anni su Facebook e ho capito che qualcosa non andava quando hai smesso di scrivere sulla tua pagina. Oggi la triste e tremenda conferma. Non dimenticherò mai la tua voce meravigliosa. Grazie per tutto quello che sei stata ed hai rappresentato. Condoglianze alla tua famiglia. Un hacio e una preghiera.
I leave here my feelings, my love and gratitude.
