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.

Sempre fui um grande fã do Roxette, essa dupla é lendária e deixa um legado extraordinário, a Marie deixou esse mundo, mas as sua canções ficam para a posteridade.

„It must have been love” when I first heard your music...In my teen age, when I was „Spending my time” feeling „Vulnerable” or when everything new seemed to be „Dangerous”, your music came like a „Crash! Boom! Bang!” making me see the life like a „Joyride” because I followed your advice: always „Listen to your heart”! And then all tasted like „Milk and Toast and Honey” because I knew that it will always be somebody to ask me: „How do you do”?...So, thank you for being part of my life, Marie... „Things will never be the same” without you... R.I.P. ?

When I started listening to music in my youth around 1990 Roxette was there. And since then you, dear Marie and Per, are part of my life. Highlighted with your live concert in August 2015 in Dresden, Germany. I hope that you Marie still had a few beautiful months with your family after officially leaving the stage. The sad news about your passing hits me deep in my heart. RIP you Queen of rain! All my condolences to your family, your husband and your kids!

Marie sang much of the sound track of my high school years.
She had such a lovely voice and sang with great emotion be it heartfelt sadness or worry free joy.
I loved her professionalism as well as talent.
More recently seeing her perform on the steps of the Sydney operahouse - watching her on stage, so happy and living her best life after and despite some major health challenges - well that has really helped me through some serious health challenges of my own.

Once in 2012 I had a dream. I don't know why, but I who was really fan of Roxette and Marie as solo singer during the nineties and early 2000 had not listened to the music for some time and not even thought of Per and Marie. So the day came my father suddenly died in a heart attack while my mother suffered from cancer. Some time after this horrible day I had a dream which was so real that I never, never forgot it: Marie came to me and told me to be strong. Strong as she is. I could hardly believe and also today I don't know why I dreamt this dream. But, it really gave me new colors in my days and helped me to survive this dark time of my life. Up to today I'm so thankfull Marie "spoke" to me.
So today I want to say to her family to be strong. Strong as she was. Life Loving and never giving up. The missing will always be part of your lives now, but there will be one day when it begins aching less. I know. I know how it feels to loose a parent. And I can imagine how it feels to loose the love of ones life. It's dark now but some day you can even laugh again. Be strong.
Maries voice will live forever.

I'm from Colombia, and grew up with Roxette's músic, as well as my brothers.
Marie inspired at some point our childhood and left a legacy all over our memories.
My city is considered to be a romantic one, which made her even more famous in the
Radio stations.today I felt like a part of me died with her. There is only grieve and appreciation
For her. Beloved Marie, always in our hearts.

A comienzos de 1991, cuando en Barranquilla estaba la estación de radio Radioactiva (frecuencia 90.1 FM), sonaba sin cesar la música de un grupo de la lejana Suecia. Estaban pegados en todo el mundo, con canciones como The Look, Listen To You Heart, Dressed for Success, Joyride, It Must Have Been Love, Dangerous, Spending my time, entre otros de sus éxitos. Enseguida cuando los oí en la radio, quedé prendado y enamorado de la voz de Marie Frediksson.
Mi sueño fue siempre ver a Roxette en vivo y lo pude cumplir en Abril del 2012 al estar en su concierto en el Coliseo Rumuñahuie en Quito - Ecuador. Hoy 10 de Diciembre de 2019, despierto con la noticia de tu muerte, Marie. Viene a mi mente el momento del concierto en Quito en Abril de 2012, cuando interpretaste la primera canción del Setlist, Dressed For Success. Mis lágrimas no paraban de brotar. Estaba viendo en vivo y en directo a la banda que soñé verla por más de 20 años. Marie se entregó al público de una manera increíble. Una guerrera y sobreviviente del cáncer. Gracias, Marie por tu voz. Por tantas emociones y tantos lindos recuerdos. Mi corazón está triste, pero tu voz siempre estará presente en mi vida.

Your music helped me in ways that I could never describe, it gave me strength and fueled me through one of the toughest parts of my life. Your voice, your personality, your passion in this world will be greatly missed.
