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.

Completely numb with sadness when I heard the news today...life can be so cruel...have been a roxette fan since 1991 when I first heard the look. In 94 your crash boom bang gig at sheffield arena was my first ever live concert and was totally blown away by the bands performance...I own all your albums and not a week has gone by in the last 27 years where I havent played at least 1 them. Joyride for me is 1 of the greatest albums of all time and was pretty much my best friend during my teenage years...so thankyou marie for the memories, your voice will live on in my life until my time is up..you will be deeply missed...sleep tight x

Gracias por habernos regalado tu voz, siento mucho tu marcha, desde pequeño he escuchado tus canciones y, casualidades de la vida, este fin de semana estuve escuchando varias canciones de Roxette como si hubiera sido una premonición. Descansa en paz Marie, pero tu espíritu y tu voz seguirán vivas eternamente.

I was a scared kid in 1989, when I first heard Roxette's "The Look" at about 2am. I have insomnia, and was hoping music would help me sleep. I feel asleep shortly after the song, and then that summer - On a school trip, we stopped off at a truck stop and I bought "Look Sharp!" on cassette tape. I added to in collection over the years, even enlisting the help of pen pals to get copies of albums not released in the U.S. I also bought a copy of Äntligen to start adding to my collection of her solo works. To her friends and family - My most sincere and humble of condolences. I hold space in my heart and thoughts for you at this time.

I was shocked to hear the news of Marie’s passing even though I knew she was ill. I was lucky enough to go to see Roxette in Cape Town back in 2010 and it remains my favourite concert ever. Fading like a flower and Silver Blue of two of my all time favourite songs, as well as many many other Roxette songs. There’s just too many to start naming them all. RIP Marie. We will miss you but you will live on in your music. Condolences to her husband and children as well as her band mate Per. ???????

Querida Marie, siempre seras mi ejemplo de vida, una gran luchadora, ahora eres un angel, que nos acompañará siempre, con tu voz, con tu musica, con tu luz, tuve la gran suerte gracias a mi pareja de verte en un concierto, me emocionaste, lloré de emoción al verte alli tan guapa, de saber que despues de todo lo que habias pasado en la vida estabas allí por todos los que te queremos, con fuerza , siempre con una sonrisa, siempre te echaremos de menos, siempre te querremos, gracias por querernos también siempre, ahora cuando escuche tus canciones cerraré los ojos y pensare en aquella noche en que mi sueño se hizo realidad, el poder verte por fin en persona, fue mágica, gracias por darnos tanto, gracias por haber existido aunque siempre existiras, descansa en paz nuestra querida Marie.??

Roxette has been a great part of my childhood. Back in 1994 I bought myself my first cassette tape ever: Joyride. I was 6 years old. I’ve passed my passion for Roxette to my sister, who’s 22. Today I’ve been down but I know Marie is in a better place. May she Rest In Peace.

Marie, you were an amazing and special person. You've been with me since childhood. I love your voice that will always remain in my heart. Now sing in heaven. We'll miss you!

1988, tenía 12 años. Esperaba todos los sábados para ver el programa musical Rockopop, grababa en vhs las actuaciones musicales. Ahí os descubrí con la canción Dangerous. Rebobiné la cinta cien veces y cada vez me gustaba más la canción, tanto que convencí a mi padre para que me comprara Look Sharp! a la semana siguiente. Desde entonces nunca dejé de escuchar vuestra música, compré posters, todos los discos, conciertos... Marie y Per me han acompañado toda mi vida y ahora algo en mí se ha roto, aún sin haberla conocido en persona. Era mi cantante favorita, nunca la olvidaré y siempre le tendré cariño y admiración. Mujer luchadora y mejor persona, no merecías este final. Mi pésame para su familia y Per. Gracias por todo, Marie.
