I always knew it was inevitable that this day would come but Marie Freddikson is no longer with us rest in peace, the essence of Roxette and an irreplaceable part left, thanks for those eighties afternoons waiting to hear your songs on my old radio, or for the thrill of going to buy your cassettes with the last album, thanks for that concert in Lima where I spent all my savings to go see you sing in 2011, thanks for fulfilling my dream of seeing you live and close to me, thanks for all those moments lived and see you forever !!!
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.

Muito triste pela perda da Marie , amo tanto! Meu coração é só tristeza.
O Brasil chora a falta que ela faz. ???????
È veramente difficile credere che una bella e giovane donna come eri tu oggi non ci sia più... la tristezza invade il cuore e le lacrime si mescolano ai ricordi di una meravigliosa voce che ha accompagnato la mia vita. Riposa in pace dolce Guerriera.
The energy and brilliance of Swedish singer Marie Fredriksson was intense for the world. Even after the artist's death, her memory will remain for a long time. I remember seeing in 2012 a full page of a major newspaper announcing a concert of the Roxette duo in Sao Paulo. As a child I began to hear Marie's voice singing on the radio, then on TV. I bought records from the duo. For almost 30 years I have been used to hearing Roxette's songs play on radio stations all over Brazil, especially Spending My Time (Per Gessle - M. P. Person), It Must Have Been Love (Per Gessle) and Listen To Your Heart (Per Gessle). - Mats M. P. Persson). The great legacy of singer Mary Fredriksson was to have left to the world beautiful songs talking about true love. My condolences to the family, friends and admirers of the victorious artist. Greetings from São Paulo - BRAZIL.
I am Nigerian, currently living in Australia. A singer/performer, though not professionally. I had the chance to perform “It must have been love” at an annual concert, I picked the song but couldn’t do it! That voice, Marie’s voice, distinct and unique!
I’m gonna miss it. This is a great loss to Roxette.
May her soul Rest In Peace.
The music world mourns. ?
Where do I begin....I fell in love with Roxette the moment I heard “Dressed For Success” on the radio. I began to follow them and as each single was released I became a fan for life buying all their albums and learning the lyrics to their songs. Marie’s voice was unique. Since hearing of her retirement from the spotlight I never stopped thinking about her and I would listen to the music to remind me of her greatness and how she has touched so many people around the world. Today we say goodbye....RIP BEAUTIFUL.
Your music will live forever. I will never forget the night we saw you live. RIP Marie.. Much love to your family xx ❤️
Roxette was a big part of my 80's. Marie your voice was that of an angel. My hope is that you found peace. To her family and friends....know she is in God's hands without pain or suffering. Much love.
I'm so sad. Marie you are (still you are) unique. We'll miss you. Your voice will sound forever. ❤️
Roxette Forever???RIP
⚘⚘израстнах с тяхните песни ⚘⚘
Thank you for the music❤ ??
Hasta siempre Marie Fredickson. Eres y serás por siempre la protagonista de la banda sonora de mis días de adolescencia, juventud y adultez. Con esa voz tan absolutamente mágica y llena de sentimiento, inimitable. Gracias también por las extraordinarias letras y esa asombrosa guitarra Per Gessle. Roxette fueron ambos. Y hoy perdió a su vocalista.
Pero lo maravilloso de la música es su trascendencia en tiempo y espacio ... y seguro me volveré a conmover hasta las lágrimas mientras voy manejando bajo la lluvia, escuchando un tema lento o de pronto cantar tus canciones más rockeras sonriendo mientras salgo a correr x las mañanas.
Gracias infinitas por todos estos años. Descansa en paz Marie.
?Dream about the sun
you queen of rain?
?I'll find the falling star
I'll fall In love
with the eyes of a dreamer.
And a dream worth believing ???
Fuiste todo en mi vida desde que tenía 13 años. Ahora tengo 43, y durante estos 30 años acompañaste todos los momentos mas importantes de mi vida con tu voz. Tu fuiste la banda sonora de los momentos mas felices y mas tristes de mi vida. Cuando queria llorar, escuchaba tu voz, cuando queria festejar escuchaba tu voz. Llenaste de color mi vida con tus melodias. Y eso no cambiara nunca, porque seguiras junto a mi, en mi corazon y en mis oidos toda mi vida.
Gracias por habernos dado tanto, gracias por tu entrega, tu amor hacia nosotros, tus fans. Nunca vamos a olvidarte. Gracias por habernos demostrado lo que es una verdadera luchadora. Por habernos enseñado que la vida se lucha siempre, y por siempre habernos querido dar lo mejor de ti. No voy a olvidar jamas las 4 veces que pude verte en vivo aqui en Argentina, un pais que los adoró, adora y adorará siempre.
Mi corazon esta contigo, con tu marido Mike y con tus hijos Oscar y Inez. Si dudas tu estaras en el mio toda la vida, siguiendo pintandome mi corazon de musica.
Without a doubt, things will never be the same without you. Go to sleep, we love you.
Loved your music its a world's shame its all over now! R. I. P maroe
So sorry to hear of Marie’s passing, you inspired me as a youngster with your music and I still have you on my playlists today, and will continue for all time ?. Thank you for the music xxx
Condolences to all your family x
You've sowed so much love with your music...my heart captured your voice. I will remember you always, angel of love. Rest in peace Marie...your sweet voice always sings!! ??
I grew up listening to Roxette, I have always loved Marie and her amazing voice. One of the greatest things was sharing my love of their music with my own children and singing along with them. Several of their songs have helped me through some really rough times in my life. We will miss you Marie, rest in peace.
I knew The Roxette’s songs by a girlfriend, 23 years ago and since then, i fell in love with the Marie and Per voices and poetries. My first CD that I bought was a Roxette album. Your will stay with us, forever. Imortals. Warming the lovers and the heartbrocked hearts around the world. Rest in peace, Marie.
We love you.
Our deeply condolences for de family and friends.
