The magic of Marie’s voice will always have a huge place in my life. Her gift that she shared with all of us will live on forever. I remember crying tears of absolute joy the last time I heard her sing live on the 30th year tour in Brisbane, Australia. The pure resilience and determination to be so strong on stage to send love to the fans. When she sang ‘Perfect Day’ I realized we had all witnessed an angel singing and we were in the presence of greatness. Thank you so much Marie for your gift to the world. Thanks to you I will always listen to my heart.
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.

My deepest condolences for family, fans and friends on the passing of Marie. I loved your music from look sharp in the 80’s to Good Karma in 2016. I’ve listened to everything in between. You made a great team pairing up with per and produced unbelievable music. ROXETTE will be never forgotten. May your soul rest in eternal peace.
No te has ido, eres música y siempre vivirás en ella,
Siempre estarás presente en Roxette!
Hasta siempre Marie!!!...
Mis más sentidas notas de pesar a la familia de Marie, es una gran pérdida para el mundo musical, pero su legado permanecerá por siempre en nuestros corazones.
Tack Marie! Du och din musik i Roxette har betytt allt och är grunden och starten i mitt musikintressé som började vid 10 års ålder, år 2012 då såg er första gången live. Idag håller jag på fulltid på med musik och du och Per i Roxette va hela startskottet. Jag minns hur jag drömde mig bort stog och mimade och dansade till era låtar, samlade på mig varenda Roxette LP skiva jag kunde hitta och gick alltid till den lokala second hand butiken för att leta efter massa gamla Roxetteplattor. Lärde mig spela gitarr genom motivationen att faktiskt kunna spela mina favorit Roxettelåtar. Utan din och Pers musik skulle aldrig mitt liv fått den riktning det fått. Idag pluggar jag musik och varenda vaken timme på dygnet är det musiken som gäller, vem hade jag varit idag om mitt liv inte tog den riktningen?
Tack för stor inspiration och glädje! Du visar på att om man ger sig fan på något så klarar man det allt! Allt från att ta sin första USA etta till att kämpa sig igenom en tuff sjukdomsperiod. Marie du visade på styrka och envishet och la dig aldrig platt på rygg utan kämpade och kämpade in i det sista! Tack återigen Marie! Du och din musik finns alltid är och du minnes med kärlek och glädje. Vila i frid Marie! ”Things Will Never Be The Same”
I am devastated. Your voice has been with me since I first it heard it through your Look Sharp album. I used to write songs and in my head, I'd hear your voice singing my words. For me, it has the perfect texture and tone that I could only dream of having. I love how haunting and forlorn you deliver a melody even at it's simplicity. I cant listen to "The Rain" without tearing up. Per is right, things will never be the same. You will be missed. Fly high.
Na zawsze w naszej pamięci [*]
Dear Marie, I guess everybody has some love memories with your songs in background :). Thank you for that. You're very special.
Thank you for the music and inspiration ❤️
I remember when i was a child singing "Listen to your heart" and make it my life better since then, thanks Marie for been part of my life, you are my angel! I LOVE YOU! ❤
Rip Marie. I wrote you a letter when I was 16. Never got an answer but nevermind. The best answer was written in all the songs you performed. Thanks for being part of my childhood..I will never forget your songs and I will always keep all the CD'S with me.
Forever in my heart. :>
Thank you! Goodbye!!
She was the best voice of my youth. She still is. I just wanted to be so cool badass girl, beautiful, innovative and sweet as her. I used to play my joyride cassette all the time while traveling with my family in our car, trying to sing just like her! Amazing woman. Descanse en Paz.
Your songs have always been my favorite. I had the great pleasure of identifying with Roxette. You had the sweetest voice to hear. I always admired her and hoped to see there well. I loved to know that I was recovering and now this devastating news and Ruin. But I'd rather remember the good times your songs caused me. Rest in peace and be with God
Loved by all never ever forgotten RIP Marie your music and beautiful talent will never die alway's in our heart's and minds
Marie Fredriksson had an amazing voice.
Her songs will always reminde me of my youth years as a teenager.
In fact "It must have been love" allways helped me at the end of an relationship that went wrong.

Joanna from Nazareth in USA.I grew up with Roxette music...thank you for being part of my life.Very sad day today...all my prayers with Marie’s family and friends...RIP.You will be missed...but as long as I am here you be in my memories:-(
Dear Mary, this very sad news today. Is like a piece of my youthness blew away with you. But the music and the songs still remain, and through them we can keep listening you beatiful voice. Maybe sometimes you wondered if your fight was worthwhile. Watching the days go by, feeling so small, maybe you were feeling like walking down an empty road to nowhere. But it's over now. There's a time for the good in life, and a time to kill the pain in life, and to dream about the sun. And you are finally free to fly out in the blue, over the towns and over the trees.
Roxette is the first band I fell in love with. It was in 1987 at a summer camp. I was 9 years old then. There was a juke box and someone played "the look" and it was like hearing music for the first time. Then every kid there kept putting that song over and over. We couldn't get enough. From then on Roxette was part of my life, through my teenage years, young adult and now 42 years old me. I was never able to make it to a show as I was too young to attend then. Then in 2012 the miracle I have been waiting for happened and on August 31st of that year I was able to attend their show. I will always remember that night. Marie, thank you the beautiful gift of music you gave to the millions of fans around the world. Your strory is one of inspiration and courage. I will cherish your music and memory forever. You will live on always through it in our hearts. Fly high now, spread your wings beautiful angel. I want to wish my deepest condolences to your family and friends. I know you will be watching over them from up high. thank you and farewell Marie. Until we can hear you sing again when we all meet up there. with Love.
Mathieu, forever a fan.
Rest in peace Marie...
