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.

Наша зустріч відбулась на концерті у Києві. Це був один з дивовижніших концертів у моєму житті. Настільки хвилюючий та емоційний момент, коли ми співали " Thing will never be the same". Це неможливо передати, я щаслива, що у моїй пам'яті залишиться цей феєрверк під іменем Marie.
Голос Марі був, є і буде в моїй пам'яті. І буде продовжувати жити в моїх улюблених піснях. Люблю, my Marie
Es tan grande el dolor como mi fanatismo por Roxette, cada canción marco una parte importante en mi vida, inclusive entré a mi fiesta de 15 años con la canción Listen to your heart... siempre voy a extrañar tu voz Marie, QEPD genia!
Gracias Marie por tantos hermosos recuerdos con tu música, Díos te recibe con alegría porque nos dejas mucho cariño a través de tu música. Descansa en Paz.???
I'm a Roxette fan since I was 7 years old. But when I was 13 I figured out who was the name behind those songs I love since I was a child: Roxette.
I went to all Roxette concerts in Sao Paulo since.
In 2011 I follow them after the gig to the hotel and I had the chance to meet Marie. She was so sweet and so kind with me and my friend that I would never forget.
She gave me the flowers she won in the concert. It was a dream come true!!
I'm 39 now. Everybody knows me as a Roxette fan. It's part of me.
I'm so sad... it's a part of me that passed away.
But I know how hard these cancer should be. I lost relatives for cancer and there's bothing we can do.
She is singing with the angels now and she will be forever in our hearts.
Thanks Marie to be a wonder woman! You're the best!
Dream about the sun, you queen of rain!
Love from deap of my heart!!
My heart is broken. But this soundtrack of so many lives will never die. Marie will never be forgotten. My thoughts go out to her family and friends.
Oh my god!! this is a blast. We miss you and our heart cried out loud thank you for being my family over these years next me.I Will promise someday travel to sweden to be just near by you or wherever you are resting. A great hug to all roxette fans all over the world, per and her family of course.
Thanks a lot for 'Anyone, I wish I could Fly, etc I love them all... So sad to hear the news today.. We live you dear Marie... Rest in peace... We love you forefer??
After spending years listening to Roxette with my abusive father you’d think listening to them would be a bad memory, but no! Till this day Marie’s voice accompanies me wherever I go. She will always be an angel for me
Una gran pena haber perdido a una cantante tan talentosa, ella en Roxette marcó mi infancia y como nunca se me hizo verlos en México, no dude en comprar boletos para verlos en Santiago de Chile y fue increíble!!!
Ella es un ejemplo de lucha por la vida y contra el cancer, una mujer de admirar a parte de su talento.
QDEP Marie F.
Thank you for sharing your amazing voice with the world.
So many times your songs have helped me through tough times & even been like theme songs throughout stages of my life.
While the world mourns & those closest to you are shattered, we know that now you are pain free & your soul can now rest.
prayers, blessings & love to your family and friends & Per xx
I have grown up to listening your music, you will be always in my life thanks to your songs.
Rest in peace Dear Marie.
I’m very saddened to year of the loss of Marie? Sympathy and prayers to the family, friend and Roxette-team...?
Roxette has always present my life since I was 9 years old. Today I'm 37. And not only marked me with the songs, but through the band, I found my best friend, my sister of my heart that not being of blood is a detail. On the Charm School tour, we went to the Porto Alegre (Brazil) concert. It was exactly my birthday. Not only did I get an autograph, but a warm hug I still feel today, a kiss and a “Happy Birthday” from Marie. At least what comforts me is that she had a second chance, as she sang on her solo album, to have another time of love from her family and fans. I can only thank Marie for sharing her talent with the world and for all Roxette has given me. Much love to all!
The world has lost another beautiful soul but Heaven has gained an Angel
Sending love and condolences to all of Marie’s friends, family and of course Per at this very sad time
Roxette music got me through some very difficult times in my teenage years, and even now I frequently listen to their amazing albums
Marie will be very missed by fans and those who know her voice if not her name
When I was six years old, some neighbours gave my parents a copied tape with Roxette on one side and Milli Vanilli on the other. From that time, I was hooked (on Roxette, not Milli Vanilli — but I did enjoy them too). Around the same time, Roxette were also featured on the greatest compilation of all time: Hits of ‘89 Vol. 2.
I was obsessed with Roxette for the remainder of my childhood. None of the other kids were, but I didn’t care. I wanted to play violin for them when I grew up. I did school projects on them. I got my hair cut like them. I watched their VHS tapes on repeat. I cut out every newspaper clipping mentioning their name. I won the school karaoke competition singing ‘The Look’ (both parts) and spent my $10 winnings on a talking troll doll.
I wanted nothing more in the world than to see Roxette live, and they announced their second Australian tour for early 1995 when I was twelve. I have no idea how, but somehow my parents managed to find the cash for my mum to take me on a bus trip from Bundaberg to Brisbane to see them. It’s still one of the happiest moments of my life (pictured), and I cried a lot.
A couple of years passed, and I started listening to different (louder) music. I stopped listening to Roxette and sold all my CDs to my mum in exchange for a Marilyn Manson one. I didn’t realise until over a decade later that it was ok to like both.
After Marie miraculously recovered from her cancer, Roxette toured Australia again in 2012. This time, I took my mum instead of her taking me. They toured here again one more time, and I spent a lot of time explaining to confused audience members why Marie was sitting down and not moving around much. I knew it would be the last time.
I will be forever thankful for the contribution Roxette made to my life for so many years. In my opinion, they are responsible for the greatest pop songs and ballads of all time, and they will live on forever.
Vale Marie, and sincere condolences to Per, Marie’s family, and the many Roxette musicians and contributors.
Desde muito jovem, um dos meus sonhos era ir ao show do Roxette, para ouvir a linda voz da Marie. Sem dúvida fará muita falta para os fãs, pois as músicas com certeza já marcaram algum momento na vida de alguém. No meu caso, eu confesso que conquistei a minha primeira namorada com as músicas do Roxette. Ela não conhecia e nunca tinha ouvido falar, e como eu era super fã, logo dei um dvd da banda pra ela, que gostei muito, e se tornou fã também. As músicas do Roxette marcaram muitos momentos nossos, que tenho guardado em minha mente até hoje. Momentos que não tem como não lembrar ouvindo as músicas cantadas por Marie... Desejo que Deus conforte o coração dos familiares, amigos, e de todos nós fãs; com certeza sentiremos muita saudades de você Marie, te amamos! R.I.P ♥️
Tão mas tão triste com a sua morte Marie. Dos momentos mais felizes que vivi na minha adolescência, a música dos Roxette fez parte deles. Obrigada por todos os momentos bons que nos proporcionou. Até um dia ? RIP ??
Thank you so much Marie for sharing your talent with the world! You will be loved and remembered for life!
I never got to meet you. I went to see you in concert Sydney in 2015, it was the best day of my life. You actually waved at me at that concert, although you didn't know it. My dream was to meet you. Your music helped me through the darkest time in my life, I hope those close to you know how much you helped. Roxette has always been more than a band to me. I am beyond words devasted.
Things will never be the same.
