Marie, ¡descansa en paz que el Señor te tenga en su gloria!
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.

I was saddened to hear of the passing today. I have listened to Rosette and Marie's music since I was a young child. Many of the songs have gotten me through hard times, through several deaths and losses, but also through joyous events. I had always hoped I could meet her one day, but circumstances dictated otherwise. She was an inspiration to not only myself, but thousands of other people. She was most inspirational during her illness. She proved that you can overcome obstacles and continue with life. She may have lost her battle, but ultimately she saved many through her music and her beautiful heart and soul. Thank you, Marie, and may you rest forever in paradise.
My condolences to the family and friend.
Although he is no longer with us, he will always remain alive in our memory.
Many years ago I started listening to Roxette and I have always loved his songs, today I still listen to them because they are a group that has never stopped liking and has remained united until this sad day.
Surely in heaven he will continue singing.
He left very soon ...
Rest in peace Marie.
Thank you Marie, for the music, for the amazing entertainment at your live performances and for the memories your songs have made for my friends and I. Some of the best times of my life have been singing and dancing the night away to your music. Thank you, and sleep tight, you’ve earned the peace and quiet xx
Roxette has been part of my life way before Guns n Roses, lot before AC/DC or any other band. We met in 1988 when Look Sharp album made its debut. I wanted to know who was that velvety but so powerful voice and i couldnt believe it came from a such thin, delicate girl...i was shocked!! I was very young and asked my teachers to translate a few songs but they encouraged me to do it by myself and i found a refugee, an oasis during the years. I found a powerful song for every moment of my life. ...Marie's voice and angelical presence not only changed Per's life, it changed thousand's, including mine....i couldnt go to the last concert here in Mexico, and i regret it deeply...but i will miss Marie further...like i wrote today on my Facebook "Roxette is my Olympus and the rest are trying to reach them"....Gracias Marie 🙂
When a have my first kiss i was dancing Listen to your heart, i was 14 years old in Octouber, 10, 1992. Miss you Marie. Thanks for everything. Love you forever. Brazil miss loves you.
You're voice is so beautiful and recognizable you and Per have helped me through difficult times thank you for that. Love you forever ♡♡♡. lots of strength for the family and friends
R.I.P Marie .. Loved your Voice for many many years from my Childhood to now #Love #RoxetteForever ?
Now it just happened and although one could have suspected it, it still cuts me deep. One of the iconic voices of the 80's and 90's passed away. I will keep you in my heart for asking me to listen to my heart and to never fear showing true emotions! So in commemoration of Marie I will continue thinking: Love will always find a way!
So sorry to hear that you are gone. I have loved your music for many many years. I never got to see you in concert. Wish that I had. An amazing artist. Gone too soon. RIP Marie. May your music live on in all of us. Thoughts and prayers to your family. Xx
Gracias Marie por todo lo que me has dado. Desde el año 89 nuestros caminos se unieron y contigo y con Roxette he pasado más de media vida, con muchos recuerdos buenos y otros más nostálgicos unidos a tu música. Mi vida va ligada a tu obra y no hay recuerdo que no tenga que no me aparezca una canción tuya. Sinceramente, muchas gracias por todo y hasta siempre!! Seguirás brillando en mi corazón y en el de todos tus Fans
RIP Marie, my late son loved Roxettes music when he was a child. Thank you for the special memories I have of him and thank you for years of amazing music xx
So sad to hear of your passing. Roxette the anthems for my generation in Scotland. I don’t think there is a kid that hasn’t danced to a Roxette song in they’re bedroom, or go in to sing a Roxette song on karaoke. I remember cutting my hair off and wanting to colour it blonde like yours, ( my mother said no, so I dye it black ( as it was easier ) probably looked more like Per ?
You fought your fight bravely and I personally know how hard fighting the monster that is cancer. Cancer never won, your body just said it was enough. You will live on through your music for generations to come and through your children. One of the greatest female musicians of our time.
Rest now and be at peace.
Forever loved.
Blessings and strength to your family
Roxette is part of my childhood. I grew up listening to Marie and Per. It is crazy how time flies and amazing how the great ones can leave their art here forever. Thank you, Marie and thank you, Roxette for been a beautiful part of my life. Rip Marie! You'll never gonna be forgotten ❤
Dear Marie and family
So sorry to hear of your passing and the battle you put up . I have lived your music since the eart 80”s when I first heard the look in my sisters car . That started my love of Roxette for the next 30 plus years . Seeing you in concert in Sydney has been the best experience in my life and your last tour only a few years ago showed what a wonderful lady you are still performing for us when you shouldn’t be .
Your music and singing got me through times when I needed some help .
I want to say Thankyou for the music , the albums the concerts for travelling so far so is down here could see you in person . You will never be forgotten and things will never be the same .
Thankyou and I hope your dancing and singing in heaven
Rest in peace Marie x
It is so sad that you are gone, Marie.... Thank you for all the joy and emotions you have granted to us with your singing, thank you so much for being with Roxette despite the troubles you were having during these two fantastic last tours which gave the possibility to us who were only kids in the 90s to see you! You have sang my heart and soul since I was teen and for always... You are an inspiration!
Your music accompanied my growing up years. Your songs are popular and catchy, but somewhat unique. Thank you. May you rest in a better place now.
Marie’s haircut is my fave one and i still wish i can have one like when i was young... she was so pretty and i wanted to be like her a long time ago ??
The songs of Marie-Roxette was acompanying my teenage life... almost all i know... and i still listen to her voice until right now
You’ll be missed Marie.. “it must have been so much pain, but it’s over now”
Rest in peace and love Marie Fredriksson ????
Seems so unreal. I close my eyes and see her in 1994 my first concert ever. The perfection and the amazing feeling at the same time was her sign, I will keep testing every new headphone and new speaker with her voice. For me and for many people she will never gone.
Roxette's music helped me through tough times, brought me joy and happiness, always...Marie was one of the best female vocals of the past 4 decades, definitely in my top 3 of all times. I feel like a big part of who I am today was influenced by her and Per's work, for that I am grateful. Marie is where she belongs now, with the angels who lent her to us here on earth, so she can make this ugly place beautiful with music. Rest in heavenly peace, Marie, I'll keep an ear out to the skies above, this world is not going to be the same without you...?
