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.

So in shock about the News today.
Roxette has been A great support for me true life.
To celebrate and to help in difficult times.
The most beautifel memory for me is the concert when you joined Per on stage in Amsterdam after been away for so long.
Everybody was crying and so happy to see you back on stage.
You are such an example to never give up.
Marie rest in peace and for the rest of the Family my condolances.
She is gone but wil always be rememberd and these memories wil remain .

Oh, Marie. What can I say? You've been a part of my life since I was 10 years old. I'm 39 now and I still listen to your music. It's hard to express how many things happened in my life through all these years, and you were there as always. So I'll just say a big THANK YOU. Thank you for showing that we have to be strong and fight, because that's what you did. Love you always. <3

I first saw Roxette at the age of 15 at shepherd's Bush empire London and loved Roxette ever since. Marie's voice was amazing and as a duo Roxette were great. I saw their world tour at Wembley when Marie had to be helped to walk on the stage but that didn't stop her singing with her outstanding voice and all her power. She was a talented strong brave woman a d I am truly gutted Marie has passed away. It has brought tears to my eyes and it feels like a end of a era. She will live on through her music. My thoughts go out to her family. RIP Marie.X

. She is the reason why I like English so much since I was 12 and wanted to know what were the lyrics about. Nowadays I'm so proud to say that I'm an English teacher. I had the honour to be in one of Roxette's shows in Argentina and It was the BEST concert I've ever been. RIP my Queen, we will always love you and endless thanks for all you gave us.

What can I say? It’s so sad. Marie was and will forever be a very important person in my life.
I listen her music since 1991. It felt like family to me.
I will keep all the memories in my heart forever.
My thoughts are with her family and friends. Wish all of you strength in this dark hour.

Dear Marie, I'm so devastated at your sudden passing. I never got to meet you or see you perform on stage but I loved Roxette from the very beginning and your music will continue to play on in my life. Thank you for your amazing voice and music. The world has lost one of its brightest stars. Sleep well & keep singing in heaven. Love to your family xx

RIP Marie, My thoughts with your family, Per, Friends & Fans.
I will miss you, you had a brilliant vocal range, a unique voice that made ROXETTE songs come alive. I have been a fan since late 80's & qued up outside record stores on the day of release for Roxette's first couple of albums ( Look Sharp, Joyride, & Crash Boom Bang ), not because I had to but I wanted to. X "Perfect Day" & "Before You Go To Sleep" were your songs & you could tell that there was you in those songs, special. X
The last album I got was Good Karma on CD & Vinyl which was a JOY to listen to,
I have been lucky enough to see you four times, 91 Joyride Tour, 93 Crash Boom Bang Tour, 2012 Charm School / Touring Tour all in Birmingham & 2015 at O2 in London. Each time just as exciting as the first time.
You have left your mark in this world, Music is universal & given lot of Fans alot of pleasure, your music lives on.
Thank You Marie Rest In Peace XX
