I have loved & enjoyed listening to your singing over the years. I feel the emotion, the passion in your voice. When I feel sad, I like to hear your voice & then feel happy when you sing. You have brought myself joy in my life. Your singing gives myself goosebumps, because the words you sing are so real to me. Thank you for the music, you will never be forgotten. I hope you rest in peace, forever & always. Things will never to the same.
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.

A voice I will always remember. Rest in piece, beautiful Marie!
In all my life I have heard you every day, and it will not change even if you are gone ...
Your songs will always be in my head ... I feel lucky because I have been fortunate to have seen you several times ...
I love you Marie
So hard hearing this sad news. A amazing artist gone too soon. Not just for your home country but throughout the world. You where an amazing, beautiful talented artist with so much love for musik. You where my ears to the 80's music. Grew up listening to your songs. You will be sorley missed and your music will live on. Gone but never forgotten. God bless
The first time I heard Marie sing was on Roxette's hit song "The Look." From that moment, I was hooked. "Dangerous," "Fading Like A Flower," "It Must Have Been Love" and other hits were the soundtrack to my teenage years. As I got older, I continued to love Roxette. I think my favorite Roxette album is "Crash, Boom, Bang." Marie's vocals are perfection on this album. I mean, they are golden on all the songs, but this particular album, really got me.
Every June, I listen to "June Afternoon." It just puts me in a great mood and makes me feel like celebrating.
My favorite memory of Marie is getting to see Roxette live at the Beacon Theater in NYC. It was their last tour. It was my first time ever getting to see them live on stage. I was immersed in the concert. I couldn't believe how quickly it went by. Marie voice, live, is angelic. She really knew how to treat a crowd!
The only thing giving me some kind of solace in the wake of Marie's passing, is being able to hear Marie sing anytime I want by listening to the music she created with Roxette. It gives me peace. It brings me joy. It inspires me to want to learn how to sing.
Thank you Marie for being you and sharing your talents with the world!

Marie ... R.I.P. So hard to read this News also in Switzerland. Roxette was my Sound when i was younger and also now. Just weeks ago in the kitchen we sang your Songs. Said about all that. How you did it - amazing - with the shit cancer ... it was a hard way for you but you were so strong. All my regrets goes to the family. And for you Marie, i hope, that you have the best place in Heaven. You will rock this - and your music always stays in peoples heart. Thank you!
Desr Marie, I don't realky know what to say.
The last days felt like they took something very precious from me.
It's hard to explain. An aera has come to an end.
I stare at a picture of you in Internet or on a paper here in Germany and I find myself thinking:
This Person is not alive anymore. Marie isn't alive anymore.
You have left our world. So I Wave you GOOD BYE!
I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!
Thanks for everything. Thanks for the last ten years. You have been such a strong person.
You are an example for us all!
One day we will meet us there above!
Love and kisses...
Great artist,great voice!!So sad to lose you!!!You are a true angel?
Thank you Marie for giving me a chance to listen to your voice. You were amazing!!! I first got to know Roxette through listening to "The Look" on a radio. Lucky! Then I've got to see you two in Nakano san plaza in 1995!!! I've been listening to the songs non-stop this past three days looking back the memories. You and the music stay forever in my heart and in everyone's. Condolences to your families. Love
Marie! My love! I remember the first time I heard your voice in 1992 and I was completely gone. I was crazy about you! I was 14 and it was the beginning of a lifetime love. When I was 16 I went to Prague to the Czech Republic in 1994. It was a dream come true! I stood at the stage and remember your beauty, your power, your wonderful voice. Your songs followed me all my life and next concerts. Thank you for all emotions, beautiful moments, you will stay in my heart forever. I love you!
Roxette was my road trip, feel good music. So sad to hear of Marie’s passing. Much love to her family and friends

It´s hard to realize that you´re gone. I grew up with Roxette and I loved every song. Thank you for your power, your voice, your energy, your music that accompanied my good and bad days, Things will never be the same now!
I express my condolences to your family. You will always be missing, but the pain of it should not become overpowering.

Puedes llorar porque se ha ido
O puedes reir porque ha vivido
Puedes cerrar los ojos y rezar para que vuelva
O puedes abrirlos y ver todo lo que ha dejado.
Tu corazón puede estar vacío porque no lo ves
O puedes estar llena del amor que compartiste
Puedes llorar , cerrar tu mente , o sentir su vacío
O puedes hacer lo que le gustaría a esa persona
Sonreír, abrir los ojos, amar y seguir adelantente.
Allá donde estes , sentimos tú luz.
D.E.P
Roxette war mein allererstes Konzert, ich war damals 15 und werde nie diese Gänsehaut vergessen, als Marie It must have been love a capella gesungen hat. Die Musik von Roxette hat mich immer durch mein Leben begleitet. Mach's gut Marie, so traurig, dass du diesen Kampf nicht gewinnen konntest
Your voice accompanied me in childhood, thank you ! Your songs will be for ever in our hearts.
R.I.P Marie and only the Best for your Family.
Marie, you will forever be in my heart.
You and Per have always been my idols and I am so deeply saddened now that you have left us.
One day when I was 11 years old I went to hospital for an operation and my dad bought me a walkman and the Joyride album on cassette. I listened over and over again during my one week stay. My dad then came to every single Roxette concert with me until he passed in 1995. I picked 'Perfect Day' for the song at end of his funeral, it was so beautiful and emotional. This is one of the reasons Roxette has been so special to me.
You have the voice and soul of an angel, you lit up my world in dark times and magnified my joy during good times.
I feel so honoured to have met you many years ago in Adelaide, a memory I will treasure forever.
RIP Marie, I will miss you xx
