He crecido con tu música y a día de hoy ya tengo 43 años. Fui una de las muchas fans que perseguía una foto contigo, un autógrafo o, incluso, unas palabras. En todas esas ocasiones fuiste amable, dulce, un ángel.
Por eso hoy sé que hay un nuevo ángel en el cielo, uno con una voz increíble, que siempre estará en mi corazón.
Gracias Marie! Vuela libre!
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.

Marie, as a half of the incredible Roxette duo, gave me so much enjoyment- she was such a special person who could harness every emotion and translate personal feelings into anthems the world would love. Thank you for your life and dedication to your art, we will always remember you.
I remembered my days, and i can say that none of them are without the presence of Roxette, especially with Marie's angelic and beautiful voice. It wasn't just nice for the ear, but it engraves my heart with her words and voice. Roxette's concert was the only concert that I watched live in my entire life. You are so close to my heart Marie, and with all the songs that accompanied my life, you gave me life and shaped my heart. Everything still lives in me. All those days when I was broken hearted or whenever my heart jumped in joy, you are there, singing all those magical melodies. You were there both during my lonely times and in my happy days. "Crash Boom Bang" and "Vulnerable" was there when I was down and sad, but "Joyride" was also there lifting my joy. Those were the times I can't live with your music and it stayed ever since. I still listen to your music at least every month. . So I was so broken and sad when I heard that you passed away. You are a fighter Marie. all those years you battle with cancer and won it, being back on stage and studios, watching you with your power and spirit not just to overcome the illness, but also all your struggles really touched my heart and gave me inspiration. Thank you! Thank you very much for all this time. WHAT A WONDERFUL PERSON! you'll surely be missed, but your memory and voice will live on forever and echoes through time. Deepest condolence to the family and Per. Its all peace now, no more pain and suffering. Keep singing from heaven for us Marie. Rest in Peace. you are truly an inspiration to us all
I started watching your film clips on rage and listening to your songs when i was a teen about 30 years ago.
You were a fabulous singer and an inspiration.
Your songs will be forever with me.
May you rest in peace.
Much love to all your family and friends.
que en paz descanses Marie.
I love Roxette . I grew up with their song in bad and good times Roxette songs always cheer me up. RIP Marie
Obrigada, Marie
Obrigada por ter sido uma das minhas maiores influencias musicais enquanto eu crescia. Obrigada por ter dito tanto em suas canções e ter colocado tanta emoção em cada uma delas. Obrigada por tudo e por tanto. Descanse na certeza de que marcou gerações e sua voz será pra sempre audível em nossos corações.
Somente obrigada.
I was 16 when I bought the cassette Joyride. Yes, I became a fan. Roxette accompanied me through decades of my life. I bow myself and my compassion goes out to all relatives and friends. Thanks a lot Marie. And be happy where you are now. R.i.P
My heart is broken. And I have
No words to match my heartache

All my gratitude Domenico
To Per Gessle - thankyou
My you continue to inspire us all
And keep alive the magic you both shared xx
I grew up on Roxette music and I love it. Unfortunately, I've never been to a concert 🙁
For me Marie was, is and always will be a great person, crazy, full of energy, temperament, always smiling with a wonderful voice. For many years she fought the disease and never gave up. I know how her family feels, because this year I also lost a loved one because of cancer. For the world, Marie will always be alive through music
So long, Marie. You fought a good fight. Thank you for all beautiful songs. Rest in peace.
Roxette were my younger son’s dream band when he was in his early teens and composing music himself. I sewed their name in silver sequins on the back of his jacket which he wore to one of the first Concerts we saw together in Birmingham. Before driving to the Concert, my son bought a deep red rose which he later presented to Marie on stage.
Roxette had that magical combination of youth, good looks, exceptional talent, energy, charisma and self-penned compositions. Above all they had a unique sound and Marie’s beautiful voice blended perfectly with Per’s. Little wonder Roxette sold millions of records (CDs!) worldwide.
It was so sad to learn that illness robbed Marie of her sight; she was so courageous to return to her music career and especially to be back touring. I consider myself so fortunate to have the privilege of seeing Roxette in Concert during this time and to hear Marie’s wonderful voice, pure as ever, singing the songs we love. May Marie’s family find this ‘Book of Memories’ of great comfort, knowing that so many people enjoyed seeing and hearing Roxette’s music as much as Per and Marie clearly enjoyed making and performing it. Love and thanks Per for the happy memories Roxette have given us - your music will live on. RIP Marie xxx
Roxette foi uma das minhas bandas favoritas da adolescência! Todos os dias sempre ouço alguma música da banda no meu carro, será impossível cantar suas músicas sem lembrar desse triste dia... Obrigada Marie pelo seu talento, garra e amor pela vida! Será sempre lembrada por mim com grande alegria. Encontre sua paz, guerreira!
I am shocked, sad, lost for words...I am deeply saddened to hear that awful news!! I thought she got better after her treatments and was looking forward to rest and retirement...but our lovely angel MARIE is gone...ROXETTE has been, like many other people, my favorite band since 1986...Her voice and music will live on...Today the world of pop music has lost an unique woman, an amazing talent...ROXETTE gave us so much over the years...her voice was strong, unique, her live performances were sublime...Speaking for myself, i know God might get an angel but we all lost an amazing singer and a beautiful person...RIP my dear MARIE...you will be missed but NEVER forgotten..
Roxette fue el primer grupo musical que me gustó ,fue mi primer cd a la edad de 7 años cautivada entonces por la dulce voz y el look de Marie!! Que en paz descances querida Marie !tú voz es ahora eterna!
Growing up in my teenage years to your music, those memories come back every time I here a Roxette song. Thank you Marie you will be sadly missed
Gratidão a Marie por compartilhar sua voz maravilhosa com o mundo. Obrigada por me permitir através da sua voz e das melodias sonhar, sentir e amar! Marie é inesquecível <3
Dear Marie,
you and your voice were a part of my whole life. You stayed with me in good times and in sad times and you always will. As I chose "Reveal" as my wedding song, a part of you is with me every day and always will be. Singing with you during the Roxette concerts was one of the greatest experiences of my life, and now the angels will sing with you. R.I.P. Marie!
RIP Marie. Thank you for the music and thank you for the memories. Your songs are a big part of a lot of people's life and they will never forget you. I saw you for the first and last time just before you had to stop the shows and I will never forget your strenght and the lesson of life you brought me that night... you were amazing.
You were with me from 1991. I had a great fun, I cried, I was happy. You were a light, you were a fighter, you become a legend. I admired your passion and determination. The world lost a great talent, but relatives lost much more. I loved you as a public person, and I can only regret, that I couldn't met you. Good bye to you. You will stay with me forever.
