I was touched by Marie's passing, as many people around the world. She has been with us for so long despite her constant battle, with her fierce power, incomparable voice and so many memories and feelings brought up by her songs, that I truly couldn't believe it when I heard the news. There's emptiness within us, but her spirit remains. It is in every word sang, in every playlist heard every minute, in every video watched, in every nostalgic smile we make each time we listen to her. Rest in peace, Marie. You will always be remembered and loved.
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.

Roxette, Marie
I have been accompanied at all times of my life, my first cassette, my first parties, my first love with whom I shared favorite musical group, my wife, my children to whom I put your music. I could hear you live and I will remember it as the best concert of my life. I will continue to hear you, enjoying in my records, in my old cassettes. Things will nerver be the same. Thanks Marie. Que la tierra sea breve, Marie
The music that Marie and Per created is a major part to the soundtrack of my life. I was lucky enough to see Roxette in concert back in 1992 here in Los Angeles, and again here in Los Angeles on their last American tour. I will play your music until my final day and think of your voice with a smile.
Love to you beautiful Marie and your family
Listening "It must have been love", live.
You, Marie..you were playing piano and singing..
Me, now...no words..
Only thoughts...and feelings..
Ps. By the way i am used to..
Neverending love is the first singel I bought of Roxette and it's still one of my favourite songs. I remebered hearing Maries voice and I was stunned of her vocals and Låt mig andas is one of my favourite songs from Maries solo career and even in Swedish her voice were amazing. Marie you will live forever and will always be remembered. You will always shine and bless us with your beautiful voice. Lots of love ❤??
Obrigada, Descanse em paz!!!
I have a broken heart since I noticed the fatal new. I found you when I was 10 years old, and with you I have grown up, now I am 39. I spent my time in adolescence, youth and maturity, hours and hours with your music. You have been part in so many important moments of my life, and you will continue being in the next, i’m sure. I will be forever sorry for never having been in a concert. You will continue singing for me in my mind, in my heart and in my soul. Marie, losing you, things will never be the same. Rest In Peace. All my best wishes for your family and friends.
You were there when I bought my first cassette. You were there when I was heartbroken. You were there for me when everyone else left me to rot. You were there when I got my life back. You were there when I became happy. And you'll be here with me until my last day. I'm heartbroken. But I know your songs will help me heal. You will always be loved by your fans, family and friends.

Grazie per tutto. Con te se ne va una parte della mia giovinezza. Le vostre canzoni e le emozioni che a loro mi legano mi accompagneranno sempre. R.I.P.
Thank you Marie, for all your great music, Solo and Roxette!
Also thank you, that you took the time, many years ago, to send back a birthday card to me, which my girlfriend of that time (also Roxette fan) sent to you. It was a very very big surprise, and I'll cherish that card forever.

Sad loss grew up listening to Roxette many of a time.
Will be a big miss to music world.
Her voice n soul will still be heard for a long time in future. And never forgotten legend.
RIP Fredriksson.
A Marie fez parte de muitos momentos em minha vida, ela em conjunto com o Roxette me remete a diversas alegrias e boas memórias.
Que ela descanse em paz e que Deus conforte a família.
Obrigado Marie!
En cada una de tus canciones, nos regalabas un poco de tu vida. Dicen que te has ido, pero no es cierto. Ahora vives en nuestros corazones. En esa vida que nos diste y te pertenece.
I wasn't Roxette fan when I was young. But in 2014, when they performed in Estonia ... I won tickets to their concert. And I went there just to see a world famous band. But after the song "Watercolors in the Rain", I was like under a spell. Starting this night, I became a fan of Roxette and Marie. And I am particularly happy that I also enjoyed their concert in Stockholm in 2015. Marie is the best female singer in history. Her music lives on forever. And she lives forever in our hearts. Thank you Marie!
Gracias por tanto, gracias por todo, hermosa Marie. Vuela alto, vuela lejos. Hasta siempre, hasta pronto, te quiero....
Marie, you have touched our lives in so many ways. Your departure is a hard truth. This world was privileged to have you. Rest in peace. ?
Remembeing Marie Fredriksson
ROCK ON MARIA! You made us feel the love.....
THOUGHTS OF COMFORT
We are all made from thoughts and our thoughts never die.
She has only left us in form and
her thoughts have entered a dimension
of peace in which we are all as one.
Remember the special moments, memories
and wisdom we have learned from her,
Death is a false belief in endings.
There are no endings, only new and perfect beginnings….
Her soul will share her goodness with the universe now & forever….
Love & Peace
John Gorski Flemington, N.J. USA
ROCK ON MARIA! You made us feel the love Girl.....
Marie and Roxette are part of my life and my teenage years. If it depends on me all the new generations will know her incredibly beautiful voice and the huge importance she had for the music world. RIP, fighter.
For someone like me who has always listened to music, especially as a boy, reading the disappearance of a singer I follow is news that does not leave you indifferent, because even if you have never met him personally, she has you indirectly anyway listening to her music, company, entertained and accompanied by some small pieces of life and when she leaves, it is as if you lost something.....
