I have been a fan of Roxette since I was around 10 and I’m now 38 and so have grown up listening to their music both as a band and as solo artists and I was a relative late comer when it came to going to a concert. However I feel very privileged to say that travelling to Stockholm to see the Room Service tour in 2001 was my first ever concert and it was everything that I expected and more!
I was never lucky enough to meet Marie or Per or see them live again but to have had that opportunity to see and hear Marie’s beautifully stunning voice live will be forever etched in my memory. I am so full of disbelief that she is no longer here but she has gained her wings and her musical legacy will live on through every single fan.
To Marie’s family, friends, Per and the Roxette family - I am so, so sorry for your loss. Much love....Sarah xx
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.

Your beautiful voice came with me trough all my young years since I was 12. I can still remember when my father bought your joyride album , hell what a voice ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was crying and I was laughing with you. All of your beautiful songs helped me out from some bad issues in my life. When I saw a magazine with Roxette on it, I wanted to buy it right now. And I always loved your short hair. Dear Marie , I can only hope that you are now resting in peace and dont have all that Pain. We will, I will ,we all will miss you always.

Aún en la tristeza por la perdida de una brillante voz sigo pensando en lo afortunado que soy al haber escuchado a un duo que sería parte de mi vida. El intentar buscar los lp para escucharlos durante días enteros. Hablar con mis amigos sobre las letras de cada tema y lo hermosas que sonaban. Esperar cada año para encontrar nuevo material que de seguro se convertia en éxito total. Hoy solo queda decir GRACIAS Marie por ser tan importante en mi vida. Roxette es y siempre será Marie porque ella le brindó hermosura a tan excelentes temas de Per. Bendiciones en tu nuevo hogar al lado del todo credor.
Que terrible noticia, realmente estoy muy apenado por lo ocurrido.
Recuerdo con placer poder haberla visto en 2011 en Argentina junto a Per.
Honestamente siento que un pedazo de mí adolescencia se fue con Marie.
Good bye my queen of rain. Thanks for the joy and tears.
Love you Marie wherever you are.
Things will never be the same
The dearest Marie,
It is the great honour to me, that during the whole 30 years, from 1989, I had a possibility to taste your talent, beautiful voice and neverending smile. You've been the best guide how to live, how to pass difficult moments and how to survive. Your life hadn't been easy to You. Your faith with terrible desease was amazing. You never gave up. It's great and very important for all people who saw this every day. True. I promise You that You will stay at the bottom of my heart forever. See You somewhere in the sky... Good bye...
I will never be Again such a powerful and angelic voice you brought to us you will be greatly missed.. And you are loved by everyone...
You have been there every step of my life. I was 11 years old when my parents took me to see you perform for the 1st time. Your music moved me to tears when life broke me, it lifted me up when I couldn’t, you were on every playlist at every party, on every road trip, everywhere. I owned a cassette of the tourism album & I listened to it until it wouldn’t play anymore. You will be missed, but remembered every time someone recites a lyric or you pop up on the radio, or a playlist. Rest softly & thank you.. thank you.. thank you.. you made my world a better place.

Things will never be the same. You were one of the real blessed singers worldwide, Marie. It was always a joy to hear your voice in a Song of Roxette. You died too early, but you‘ll always have a place in many hearts around the world. We‘ll always love your voice.
I will always remember how I felt when I first heard Marie's beautiful voice almost 30 yrs ago. Marie, you will always have my love and respect. I feel so grateful to have grown up listening to Marie for the better part of my life. I was so lucky to see Marie perform in Los Angeles during the 2012 tour.
God bless you, Marie, and the entire Roxette family!
