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.

When i was around 10 my neighbors next door bought the Tourism record. Since then i cant remember a single year i didn't listen to their music. I was fortunate enough to go to their concert in Rio, 2012. I remember crying tears of happiness while listening to them play live. Thank you so much Marie and Per for your music which was always such a happy soundtrack in my life. We’ll keep singing. We’ll keep dancing. Lots of love to Marie’s family and friends.

The Joyride album defined my taste in music. A strong soul and talented heart has left us. But the music still plays! Love and happiness for Maries family in this time of grief!

¡Marie Fredriksson! ESA HERMOSA RUBIA ME EMOCIONÓ UN MILLÓN DE VECES! ¡QUÉ GARGANTA! ¡CUÁNTO TALENTO! ¡JUNTO A LA OTRA GRAN ESTRELLA Per Gessle ME LLENARON DE MUCHAS Y VARIADAS EMOCIONES! ¡AMARÉ SU MÚSICA, SUS CANCIONES, TODO LO QUE CONSTITUYE A LA BANDA EN LA QUE SOBREVIVE UNO DE SUS TALENTOS!

Te llevas una parte de mi vida. Has sido y serás una referente en mi vida, cada canción se refleja en cada vivencia que tuve desde mi niñez y ahora en la adultez. Dios te bendiga e ilumine a tu hermosa Familia. No quiero despedirte solo quiero que sepas que vives en mi corazón.

First I would like to offer my deepest condolences to all of Marie's family, friends, and loved ones. It is difficult to express the profound effect that Marie's music and voice have had on me. I first saw her perform on television in 1991 (with Roxette), and I immediately became a fan. I even bought her Swedish albums, which I do not even understand all of, but it didn't matter because her emotion always shone through. 'Den ständiga resan' is one of my favourite albums of all time, in any language, but it may be too difficult to hear it again for some time. I never met Marie, but I was fortunate enough to see her in concert both times that Roxette played here. The 2013 concert was one of the most emotional I have ever been to. At the time, my father was fighting his own battle with cancer. It was so inspiring, and a great privilege, to see Marie pushing through her limitations, on stage and in front of thousands of people. She was an incredibly brave person. If I could have told her anything, it would have been to thank her from the bottom of my heart for her voice and her music. They have been with me through good times and bad, and I will carry them with me forever. XO

This is very sad day, when you believe those people who inspire and support you will live forever and getting the news you don't want to believe.. My love story with Marie has begun in 1992, her voice was with me in happiness and sadness, always helping me and giving me the strength to follow my path. I was lucky enough to see the magic of her live performances, her solo songs in swedish were touching my heart even without understanding the words, it is soul to soul communication.. As Per ended his statement.. things will never be the same.. very true. Marie will always live in my heart. My senciere condolences to all who loved her and especially to the family and friends who had priviledge to share life with that brilliant artist and exceptional human being. RIP Marie

I am from Colombia, and I knew Roxette listening to the radio. I brone up with my partner , and when I heared “Spending myTime” I felt that every word matched my feelings. This is my favorite song. We went to Halmstad Sweden in 2009 for a reunion concert. And in 2011 attended a concert in a world tour in Madrid. I am glad we could see Roxette life. Marie always in our hearts and part of our history. Rest in Peace. Isabel

Roxette was the first band that got me hooked when I was about 12 and heard the song Joyride. That's 28 years ago. Since than Roxette...especially Maries voice has accompanied my life. Thank you so much for those wonderful memories. I'm so sad that you're gone but I'm glad you don't have to suffer anymore. You will continue to live in our hearts and memories. XOXO ?

Marie serás siempre mi musa, mi compañera en mi adolescencia. Nadie parte si queda su legado, su arte, su voz y sus letras. Hoy lloro cada vez que escucho "Anyone". Que tristeza. Te quiero tanto. Gracias eternas.

Listening to Roxette's songs is remembering my adolescence. I was lucky to attend several concerts when they visited the city of Córdoba, Argentina. Marie left a great musical and fighting legacy that is an example for everyone. Fly high beautiful angel !!! You'll always be in my heart!!!!

Dear Marie, I am still shocked about these sad news and I can not believe that you are passed away. You where one of the greatest inspiration since my teenage-time. And you will always be this for me. And I think for so many others, also. I am so thankful to had the chance to see you on stage. Everyone saw, that you where fighting the whole concert. But you didn't give up - for us. My heart where broken to see you like this. You where such a special and awesome woman and I know you will continue always live in all our hearts - forever! Thank you for everything! Thank you that you give us so much love, hope, happiness, freedom and much more with your beautiful voice!!! Sleep in heavenly peace! We will never forget you!!! Our prayers are with your family and friends!!! An angel is gone ???
