How to begin...it's so hard. Marie was my inspiration, my model, I sing too and when I was a teenager I wanted to be just like her. Her voice, her style, her beauty but most important of all her kind soul was unique. I had the opportunity to be in many concerts as she came many times to Argentina. She was amazing, she and Per, they were magical.Thank you Marie for your inspiration of bravery as you fought like a lioness against this horrible decease. Thank you for not giving up and sing to the very end. Your voice will stay with me forever. Go with the Angel's and sing with them. Thank you for being part of my life when I felt sad or happy. Today is a sad day my prayers are with you fly high. You'll be eternal.
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.

Today i cried... by far one of my favorite singers from the begining to the end. I still listen to her music and watch your videos daily. I will miss you always.?
When I was a child I met the best music, Roxette. As the years went by I took over his songs in my mind. With the passing of the years I began to really feel every song in my soul, when I fell in love for the first time and so time went by until today I feel a deep pain because one of the best performers and my beautiful silver idol was. His energy and his voice will continue to accompany me forever. Goodbye silver hair woman, you went and you are the star. thanks Marie!
I was very fortunate to have seen Marie preform with Roxette twice. She was an amazing singer and a brave person. My sincere condolences to her family
My first ever concert was Roxette in Hungary. One of a lifetime experience. Your voice and music was many times the inspiration to fight my battles forth. You inspired a lot of people and helped so many times, even you didn't know. You will be always in our hearts. May rest in peace Marie!
Thank you so much for your music and love. You influenced my youth. I am still singing your songs. Rest in peace Marie - you will always be in our hearts and never forgotten!
Llegué del trabajo hoy y me enteré recién de esta noticia. Las lágrimas fueron algo inevitable. Tantos recuerdos y momentos vividos con tus canciones. Aunque sabemos que la muerte es un destino del que no escapa nadie. Duele demasiado perder a personas como Marie, que sin saberlo brindaron tanto arte. RIP. Mis sinceras condolencias a sus amigos y familiares.
I knew Roxette when I was 13 years old, when I listened to 'Spending My Time', and Marie's voice charmed me. My mom Nadia told me that she loved them on 80's and 90's, and felt amazed that her son also loved Roxette! Now I live far from her, and when we miss each other, we listen to it. And then I got my first album, and finally listened to 'It Must Have Been Love'. That voice. That chorus. Those lyrics! That melody! That woman! Fredriksson's voice just got through my veins, and since that wonderful day, this one has been the song of my life! My dream was to go to their concert. Now I only have to express how thankful I am for your talent, Marie and Per. Your songs have always inspired me to go on and be stronger everyday. Thank you for everything. I will always love you both. Rest in peace, dear Marie!
Desde que te escuche por primera vez, cuando era una adolescente admire tu voz ,tu fuerza al.cantary bailar , tus canciones, tu look que muchas veces quise imitar ,Gracias Marie por todo y más, gracias por acompañarme algunas tardes de verano en los 90 solo escuchando tus canciones, hoy puedo recordar como.si fuera ayer solo con escucharte , jamas me cansaré de hacerlo y enseñaré a mi hijo a escucharte y admirarte. Que Dios dé consuelo a tu familia y que te reciba en su inmenso amor , descansa en paz hermosa Marie siempre estaras en mi corazon y en todos aquellos que amamos tu música.
So many things to say, your voice forms part of my past, part of my life, part of my memories, the best ones. Thanks for giving voice to the deepest feelings? enjoy the joyride, you'll never be forgotten. We love you❤️.
Gracias por todo lo que me has dado. Verte en Madrid fue mi mejor momento. Me quedo con tu gran lucha y te admiro por lo fuerte que fuiste.
R.i.p Marie. Du warst eine große Künstlerin und hast mich mit eurer Musik durch das Leben begleitet. Seit vielen Jahrzehnten. Du warst stark und trotzdem hast du leider verloren. Es tut mir wahnsinnig leid. Du hast uns Fans ein großartiges Vermächtnis geschaffen. Ruhe in Frieden
Just wanted to thank you for being an important part of the soundtrack of my life. Your voice will allways remain and the ones that grew up with you, all over the world, will allways remember your music and your brave fight against cancer, this horrible illness that also took my uncle and sister away. Like you they were fighters so thank you for being also such a great example in life. You're my heroes. Rest in peace, Marie, Spain loves you. You will be missed but remembered with a smile each time we hear a song performed by you.
Thank you for your amazing voice and great songs. Roxette is my favorite band ever. I listened to your great music in my childhood , as a teenager and now as a mother. Rest in peace Marie I will never forget you. I still can't believe it .

I can only say thank you, thank you very much for having left your music in my life, your strength, your courage, your memory will live forever. Sweet dreams dear Marie!
After the “Look Sharp” and “Joyride” cassettes, I perfectly remember the day I bought the “Tourism” album. That was my first CD. There are so many memories in my life accompanied by that music. So many beautiful moments and a few sad ones, when a Roxette’s ballad was all that I needed to feel better. Roxette’s songs and Marie’s voice were a constant soundtrack of my teenage years. She will be missed. My thoughts are with her family and friends. Thanks Marie, for your talent and your strength. Rest In Peace.
A legend has passed away! A big loss for Swedish music! She had the best voice ever! I was lucky to visit 4 concerts in Belgium in all these years. Rest in peace Marie. My condolances to her family, friends and to Per! I will always love Roxette!!
Couldn't believe it when I heard that you were gone! Love your music! Rest well Marie!! You will be missed!! Your legacy will live on!!
Gracias por tu música, te llevaremos en nuestros corazones abrazo eterno desde Argentina
Thinking of You Marie and my thoughts are with your family at this sad time, you were a star RIP Marie ???????
