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.

Condolences to her family. Roxette was one of my favorite duos growing up and through college. Music has suffered a great loss.

I listen to Roxette since I was a teenager. Marie was, is and will continue to be part of my life. Sending thoughts and prayers to her family and friends. The whole world cries today, together.

In 1992 I was 14 and have been the first time to a kind of disco in a holiday spot in eastern part of Germany and saw: Women. This special moments got a great soundtrack by 'Tourism' and the wonderful music and special voice of Marie. Wow, it still touched me many times in the last decades. Thank you so much, Marie and Per. To the family and friends I send my best wishes. Even if it is so hard now - be happy that you have been close to such a great singer.

Marie was one of the 1st female rock singers I listened to. Her ‘not a girl but one of the boys’ stage persona inspired me. When I found out about her diagnosis and yet still writing music and touring despite her illness, her fighting spirit humbles me. Marie inspired me with her vocals, stage persona, fighting spirit & continuing her legacy in her native country & language, despite international success. During the time when I heard “Listen To Your Heart”, I was going through a rough patch, and that song kept me strong and firm with myself. The words to “Spending My Time” made me understand hopelessness and prevents me from wallowing in sadness and self-pity. I love that song so much, I do not want to be the 1st person in the song. That was how powerful it was to me. Marie’s voice came to me at a time when I needed to hear it the most. The feeling when I first heard her words & melody at that right time of my past, is best described as awakening. The world has indeed lost a great, inspirational lady. Rest well, dear Marie. Your spirit and music lives on. ♥️

No puedo poner en palabras la tristeza que siento en el alma. Tu voz me salvó tantas veces. Desde que recuerdo estás presente en cada momento importante. Tuve el privilegio de disfrutarte en el Luna Park de Buenos Aires y en el polideportivo de Mar del Plata. Recuerdos sagrados, mágicos. Vos eras magia. Mi guerrera favorita. Hermosa, humilde y talentosa. Mi amor por vos es eterno. Gracias por tu voz, gracias por hacer este mundo más bello. Todo mi amor a su familia, a Per y todos los que amaron a Marie.

I am so so so sad to hear that you died. Roxette was my first true music-love as a child of 14, I had my room full of poster and still know all their songs literally word by word. Per was my first idol and I had a crush on Marie. #RIPMarieFredriksson you beautiful woman and voice who brought so much joy to so many years of my childhood. Thanx for "paint" ing parts of my life. You made beauty with your music. https://youtu.be/jNAtdiE6998

No words can describe what we feel. It's one big emptiness and silence. Rest in peace, Marie, God bless you...

I still keep a picture of my teenage room covered with your posters. With your leaving, a great part of my youth has also gone. Thank you for your being. You are written in my heart forever. It was and it is love.

I've started and erased several attempts at this entry. It never really captured what Marie and Roxette meant to me as I was growing up in the 80's and 90's. But I want Marie and her family to know how much the music meant to me and still means to me today. The courage and dedication to music Marie exhibited after her cancer diagnosis is beyond my comprehension and even though Roxette stopped releasing albums in the US in the late 90's I stayed a huge fan of the music. I shared "I Wish I Could Fly" on my Facebook in the memory of Marie and urged my friends who loved Roxette to get a hold of their later work. I hope Marie's family knows how much she meant to people who never met her but felt like they knew her through her amazing art. Thanks for sharing her with us, the fans. God Speed Marie.

1986 was a year that chenged my whole specter of life. Marie and her angelical voice showed me that true love really exists. And from that day on,Roxette became not only my favorite pop duo, but also my shelter to go and found peace. On September 9th 2012,my wishes came to life when I had the privilege of attended Roxette very last concert here in Calgary. I cannot describe the magic and the joy I felt when the concert started. And words cannot describe the happiness ot me when Marie sang Listen to your heart... Marie, God bless you way to heaven, thank you very much for changing my life... ROXETTE !! ROXETTE !!! ROXETTE !!!

Totally heartbroken to see this news today. Marie and Roxette were a huge part of my life as a teenager and ever since.. their music was my "go to" place when life has its challenges. To lose Marie so young is heartbreaking The sheer number of people who have signed this book, mentioned it on Social Media or commented on the news is testament to just how much she impacted all our lives with her songs.. RIP amazing woman...

Thank you for all of your wonderful music which was the soundtrack to my formative years and now to my life. It has helped me process some of my long held, deeply buried issues and feelings. And no one else could have given these songs the power that you gave them with your incredible voice and wonderful spirit. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have so much love for you and your work. I hope felt the love there is for you around the world and that it brought you to a place of peace.

Like many Argentinians, I was conquered by Marie's voice, her beauty and her unstopable stage presence. Like thousands of fans I'll always love her for her heart, her kindness, her strength, her sensitivity and the spirit she always offered us through her warm smile. My first memory of Marie is from when I was 9 years old. My oldest sister showed me how cool she was while the Dressed For Success video was showing on TV. Just to fight my sister I told her I didn't like her cool band. On the contrary, my heart was being stolen. I got to see Marie in person many, years later. I wasn't a kid anymore. I was a 32 year old fan who had spent most of his life admiring her in every possible way. Marie and the Rox crew were leaving their hotel in Córdoba, in 2012. When she got into the ban, I was so determined to finally show her my love that I waved many, many, many kisses at her from the back of it. Then she finally saw me through the glass and sent me a kiss goodbye. That was her always loving attitude towards her fans. Never ever disapointing. Later that day, right after the show, I managed to sneak into the loby that the band had to go through to enter the hotel. Even though I kept my distance, when thay saw me, Per rolled his eyes (can't blame him) but when I told Marie how amazing she had been that night, she gently accepted the compliment smiling at me, nodding with her head and saying thank you. Again, her kindness always shining through. All I can say is that Marie made my life (and many others') a much better place, and that is why she will always be remebered. That's why I'm here today to pay tribute to her life. I will always love you Marie. Thak you for your music. Tthank you for your heart. Fly in peace.
