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.

First, send my condolences to Marie's family and friends. And I can't forget all the fans. We are many who cry now, but Marie is resting and gave us many years of music and joy. I will never forget you, you went and you will always be part of my life. Kisses to heaven, good trip.

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

Having grown up with Roxette and Marie Since 1986 I never stopped listening and loving, I’m now 46 and sing along most days in the car. Marie has given me thousands of happy hours and her music will be with me forever. I even had Roxette’s music at my wedding, that is how much it means to me. Having heard the sad news today I put on Look Sharp album and cried all the way home from work. Marie will be missed all over the world by millions like me and will live on on our hearts and her wonderful music legacy. Thoughts and love to all her family and friends. Richard xxx

i just can't .... ? my heart is broken, so much.. and hurts so bad.. she was/will be a part of me always, i spent countless hours listening to rox/her solo music .. i dreamt meeting her, never happened anyway.. maybe in der ständiga resan we will meet. hope to see you there, Marie!! You've been LOVED by so many, you left us way TOO soon. I told one of my roxfriends, your loss hurts like we're family, we 'met' you even before your kids, I feel sooooo sad for them. So if you ever read, your mom helped in so many ways too much people So..today is one of those days, those black sad days, that this place looses one of those big charming souls, she's called Marie Fredriksson, and i always thought she was quite looking like my mom, if my mom would had dyed her hair blonde. She had a true power to heal thru her music, with her voice, her sad songs moved me, she was for a very big part of my life a part of me, her songs were my songs, every fan become at some point part of that artist i guess (and i was a very BIG fan.. you can tell looking at my nickname, my nickname for 20 years, but before that i had my penpaling stamp labeled as 'rox-fan' next to my name so i guess i need a medal or something) She was the half of Roxette, the main reason i learned english at a very young age, i just started studying english at 5th grade and i consider myself a little bit self taught as i learned english looking for lyrics words on dictionaries because i wanted to know every word they sang, i needed to know, i was OBSESSED with them, with Marie's powerful sweet voice. I dreamt meeting her, actually both of them but never happened, still.. maybe in another life, in Den ständiga resan, we will meet again, because Things will never be the same without her. I can't do a appropriate homeage to her, everybody is posting about our loss, but not everybody feel her loss as some of her fans, this is not about being at first row at her concerts (i wish, you know, but i'm not fast enough neither had money to tour the world after her) everybody feels different, and she was a big part of me for a long long time And a tear falls slowly.

For 30 years her voice was with me, through good and bad, with all my emotions in life. I am sad today, knowing that I will never have a chance to hear her voice live. You will live forever with your songs, my sons sing them with me and many more children will sing them in future.

My condolences to the family and friends, to the group.????

From the minute I first heard "The Look", in 1989 I was a fan of Roxette. The music, and Marie's voice became the soundtrack to my life. Through the good and the bad, the boring and the fun, the music was there. When Roxette came to Seattle in 2000, I did all I could to be in attendance. I got autographs, and thanked both Marie and Per. When they returned in 2012, my wife and I flew to San Francisco to see one of the best concerts of my life. Hearing Good Karma, and seeing her in the videos brought me so much joy. Today I have been crying. The world has lost a treasure. Thank you for sharing her talent with us. My heart crys for you, who knew her. She was a bright light of joy in this world.

Mit teenage værelse var overplastret med Roxette plakater fra slutningen af 80erne til midt 90erne, jeg havde alle cd'er med Roxette og enkelte plader, bl.a looksharp og joyride. Maries smukke stemme og generelt Roxette's musik har siden været en stor del af den musik jeg lyttede til, og vil fortsat være det resten af mit liv. Marie har virkelig sat sit præg på verden, og vil i mange generationer frem i tiden, stadig blive hørt. Hun vil blive savnet og jeg mener ikke hun havde fortjent alt det hun har været igennem, jeg begræder tabet. Hvil i fred Marie. ♥️ Din musik lever videre i os.

Dearest Marie, I fell in love with Roxette when I was about 15. I saw you live in 1994 and 2012 and both times you came to talk to us fans and have pics. You literally saved my life with your words so I can’t thank you enough! You got me through tough times and I hope these words help your family through tough times too. You were a true fighter and musical legend. I have pictures with you and signed goodies that I will treasure forever. I even took a massive promo board from a HMV shop and carried it through town ?. You will always be in my heart and I’ll keep singing your songs forever. Thank you, Marie for being with me most of my life. I love you like family and I give my love to your family to help them when things get tough. I miss you so much already and always will. Keep singing beautiful ❤️ Love to you all, Laura xxx

Although I got to know Roxette, like many people, when they burst onto the scene with 'The look' and subsequent hit singles, I got to know Marie Fredriksson's voice and music seriously when I picked up a copy of her solo album 'Den ständiga resan' in 1993. Entirely in Swedish, a language that I didn't know or understand, but the artwork spoke to me and when I played the album, the music did too. This album, and the next 'I en tid som vår', became part of my life, making me curious about this remarkable woman and this strange language. I even took a Swedish language course (with limited success, unfortunately!) in an effort to understand these lyrics better. I grew up with music ever since I was a kid, but there are only a few artists that have been able to capture a moment in time that stays with me for life. I can't claim to know Marie personally but it is astonishing how her voice and music can touch so many people worldwide. So many people loved her - but most importantly her family did and always will. I hope it may be some comfort that so many people mourn along with you. She had a remarkable life.
