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.

Non ho mai sentito il bisogno di scrivere 2 righe per gli artisti che sono venuti a mancare,ma sento che con voi devo farlo. Con la vostra musica ho conosciuto quello che adesso è il mio migliore amico e quella che adesso è mia moglie. Quindi volevo ringraziarvi x questi avvenimenti importanti grazie alla vostra musica. Forever Roxette R.I.P. Marie❤️

Her voice and music was pure joy and the soundtrack to my teenage years. Much love from Italy. God bless.

I cannot understand my teen years without Roxette songs and Marie’s voice playing really loud on my walkman and later on my discman. Thanks for the memories that your songs bring back.

Dear Marie, I have no words to tell you how much you meant to me and how much I wished I could have met you in person to tell you. It has always been in my bucket list, for many, many years. Now this dream won't come true anymore and this is so sad, beyond sad, because I always wished so much to let you know how many times you and Per saved my life. I can't believe this is real. I can't and I don't want to. It was when I was a kid that I got captivated by your voice, and by the sounds, the melodies that felt like pure magic. You followed me and accompanied me through good and bad times (of there were many), gave me hope, gave me strength, distraction and could Lift me up or just give my innermost feelings a voice. I always wished I could sind like you, and though many people told me already that I had a good voice, I know I will never reach you, Marie. But I just realized, again, in the moment of grief just how much time I have spent in the shadow when really music was all I ever wanted to do. And how quickly it could be over without me ever having lived my dream. Without anyone ever having heard my voice. Because maybe this could as well mean one day mean just as much to somebody else as it meant to me to listen to yours. So maybe this is, finally, the shot for me to take my very last chance to "Listen to my heart", as you have been trying to pursue all of your listeners for many years. I want to thank you, Marie, for all that you gave to us, for the beauty that you gave to the world by being you. For listening to your own heart and having the courage to dream and make this world a so much more beautiful and dreamy and magical place. All that you gave to us- it will not have been in vain. All the love you put into this world, it will not vanish. All the magic that you created, it will keep touching hearts for many generations to come. Beautiful Marie, you will be missed so dearly. I never thought you would leave, not so soon. We are all very sad and very touched by these news. Devastated. But we will be forever grateful for the greatest gifts that you could leave here with us. I will never forget these two concerts that I was lucky enough to see you perform. And that is how I will try to look at it. Though my heart is broken, I am thankful I was able to see you, hear you and breathe the same air as you. Just to see you and realize that you were real, as your voice seemed so out of this world sometimes. I hope you find your peace, Marie. You shouldnt have gone, not so soon. Not in such a way as you did. We will never forget you, please don't forget us. We love you. Thank you for everything.

I was introduced to Roxette in the early 90's. I would listen to Marie's powerful voice through my teenage years. Both the good times and my most darkest of times. Always waiting to hear that they're touring so I can see them live. When I left for college, mine like everyone one of their fans' lives would change forever. After Marie's accident, my focus shifted. Hoping for the best and fearing the worse. I soon accepted my wish of seeing one of my favorite bands live would never happen. 20 years after first being introduced to their music. In 2012, my boyfriend was not going to let me miss the opportunity. After having a car accident and my apartment catching on fire. My "One Wish" came true... Marie you were one of a kind, an inspiration, a loving person to everyone on and off stage. It was an honor to have shared this world with someone as beautiful as you.

Would have loved to be able to see a concert. Marie..you will be forever missed, I will continue to listen to all of the beautiful music of Roxette.

Huge Australian Roxette fan, and luckily met Marie in Sydney in 1989. Loved her voice and vibe on stage. Her spirit and fighting attitude, so cheeky at times. Beautiful voice. Rest in peace, Marie xxx

Jag har älskat Marie sedan början på 80 talet. Hon har betytt så ofantligt mycket och var en sådan förebild. Hon är en av dom största sångerskorna i världen Och ändå så varm omtänksam och jordnära. Kom som ett knivhugg i hjärtat att hon lämnat oss. Men himlen har nu fått en ny stark lysande stjärna. Skickar all kärlek och styrka jag kan till familjen. P.I.P älskade Marie.

Vinterängel, sprid dina vackra vingar över oss! Losing you... things will nenever be the same... Idag gick mitt hjärta sönder, men mina tre barn har sedan födseln lysstnat på din musik och att få sprida detta musikarv vidare, kan vara den viktigaste uppgift jag har. Tack för att att jag fick vara med och uppleva din dröm! Älskar dig ALLTID ♡

"it must have been love, but it's all over now" It truly was love. Love of all the wonderful music you have both gifted to the world. Alive forever, every time we hit play.

When I was 11, Roxette hit the United States. It was an awakening for me: I changd hw I dressed, and wore my hair. I had begun to write songs and I emulated their sound and lyrics. Marie was a Beautiful Siren, Her voice full of passion and silken, ringing out. She moved on stage and in videos full of grace and expression. She lived in every song. My life would never be the same. Roxette Forever! God Bless You Marie, May your voice and beauty continue to shine forever.
