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.

What other band could get you through those awkward teen years and more!! Such beautiful, powerful, and emotional songs. I first stated listening to Roxette in the late 80's and was lucky enough to finally get to see them live at the O2. Thankyou for all those wonderful memories and for being my favourite band of all time. Rest in peace Marie x

Roxette was my favorite band since I was 11. 1988 my walls were full with posters.:) I started to learn english with the lyrics. And of course know the songs by heart.
Marie's fight with cancer was shocky and amazing to see same time. She gave us lesson from power and fortitude. Now she joined to the choir of angels above. I'm sad because she left us but I know she is in a better place now.

Dear Marie....dear Roxette.....Pere....all the fans.....the songs of roxette have been accompanied in the most important times of my youth and my life. First kiss with 13 (it must have been love) a lot of ends of relationships (spending my time, queen of rain) and especially my favourite song from the first album “so far away“ .....i always listen to when very important people passing by like i did today too....as i ve heard that marie did her last way. I ve been hearing me saying that before 2 months....that i m afraid of getting this message short before x mas. Marie....i ve really appreciated you as one of the greatest artists of the last 30 years for me....pere certainly included. I m glad that u ve done with all the pain you ve fighted since 2002 now, you are an idol for the will to live ...for apröpreciating the time here the most, but very sad too that ur voice will never be heard of. For less persons than you the words “Rest finally in peace.....are that true...will think a lot of u while hearing ur songs further on....from time to time.....im 41 and it shows up again to give more worth in moments of livetime. 61 means gone to soon. Love ya. Mario from Berlin

Words can’t express the way I feel today. I am so sorry for your family who watched the light go out today. You will live on in their memories like the shining light you were on stage for us fans. Joyride was my very first album. From the moment I heard the first words I have been in love with Roxette. Your music has helped me through the bad times and helped me enjoy the good times in life. You were a fighter and your life a Joyride. With love to your family. Xx

When me and my parents visited my cousins in the 90s, while the parents were talking we played 'Roxette' upstrairs. We dressed up and lipsynced our favourite songs. I had short blonde hair, so I always played Marie. I felt I was the luckiest girl ever. Marie, you will be missed. Thank you for being an icon.

Rest in peace Marie. Your beautiful voice and personality will be missed by so many. Roxette is my favourite band of all time and my teenage obsession! You are so strong and brave to have carried on fighting for so long. My thoughts and prayers are with your family in these sad times. Things will never be the same.
