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.

Marie hace casi cinco años perdí a mi hijo de 7 años a causa del cáncer el dolor es tremendo, el luchó hasta el final pero su pequeño cuerpo no pudo más y se rindió. Noche tras noche por varios años estuve sin dormir y en esas noches escuchaba vuestras canciones, para quienes somos fans de Roxette sabemos que hay canciones maravillosas con las que nos identificamos. Hoy te ha tocado partir después de esta batalla, diste la mejor de tus luchas, fuiste muy valiente como todos quienes se enfrentan a esta enfermedad, tus canciones son un legado y vivirás para siempre a través de tu voz y las generaciones venideras que aprecien tu música. Un abrazo al cielo!

I grew up loving Roxette. Marie’s powerful vocals and her raw energy were just amazing. From the beautiful ballads to the raunchy rock songs she was just unbelievable.
I remember seeing Roxette live in Melbourne back in I think 2014/15. Sheer brilliance!
Marie, your passing has shocked and saddened us all but you’re voice and legacy will live on.

RIP Beautiful Marie ?❤️
My love and heartfelt condolences to Marie’s husband, children and family. Xx
Per my live and condolences to you on the loss of your dear friend xx

Dear Marie in Heaven now!
I am realizing only now, that my English is poor, to explain, how much I loved your music. My childhood is about it. I hope, that I know every song, you are a fighting Angel for me, and I can only be thankful, for the concert on Kolozsvár/Cluj Napoca, in 2012, where I was blessed to hear you live.
One thing is sure, my heart will never go without you.

Desde pequeno que ouço Roxette. Foi uma companhia para os meus momentos mais difíceis, provavelmente foi a música de vocês que me fez estar ainda vivo neste momento. Meu grupo favorito. É com muito pesar que recebo a notícia do falecimento da nossa querida Marie Fredriksson. Até sempre amiga, descansa em paz. Obrigado por me ajudares a não vacilar nos momentos mais difíceis. Obrigado Roxette!

Marie,
Je was mijn tiener idool, jouw muziek was alles voor mij.
Kwam je naar België dan had ik wel een ticket om jou te zien.
Uren kon ik luisteren naar je cd’s.
Nu moeten we afscheid nemen maar niet van je muziek, die blijft, zoals jij in ons hart blijft.
RIP Marie. ??
Heel veel sterkte voor je man en kinderen, ook voor je familie en vrienden.
We always love you Marie ❤️

Since the 80s I was in love with Roxette's music but it wasn't until 2000 that I got my first couple of Marie's solo albums, and I fell in love with that fantastic voice and the quality of human being she was. In 1995 when Roxette came to Costa Rica I was lucky enough to take a picture with her, a picture that will treasure forever. Marie, I will always have you in my heart, thank you for the music and wonderful memories. Love you forever.

First of all my sincere condolences to Marie’s family. When I heard the news today of Marie’s passing I was genuinely heartbroken. I was not fortunate enough to have met this amazing woman, but her voice and music have long been special to me. I first heard heard Marie on a cassette tape of “Pearls of Passion” which I bought at Arlanda airport on my return home after my first wonderful holiday in Stockholm in 1987. As I listened on the flight home, I fell in love with Marie’s voice. Now whenever I hear her sing, it reminds me of my beloved Stockholm. Thank you dear Marie, the world is a much sadder place without you, but your voice and music will live on forever. R.I.P.

Rest in Peace, Marie!
Thank you for your music!
My brother and I loved Roxette! We loved to hear the music, singing along loud and wrong.
He passed away 10 years ago. He had cancer in his brain, too. The diagnosis was in November 2008. He died in January 2010. Only survived 14 months.
It was a horrible time, fighting for his life. Marie fought 17 years! All my respect for this!
Today I started to cry because of her death, also I didn't know her in person.
I visited the concert of Roxette in Cologne in June 2015. I loved it!
Sincere condolences to her family, her friends and Per.
Things will never be the same!
Maybe she meets my brother in heaven and sings for him, too. He would love it!

Ever since my teens, Roxette was one of my favourite groups around. I just got so much joy and happiness out of those songs. Even later, after meeting my first Swedish boyfriend, I got in touch with the Swedish songs Marie published earlier. It made me realise she truly was incredible.
So many thanks for all the joy you brought us. I’m 40 now, and you’ve been with me well over 2 decades. You will never be forgotten.
