Fui uma privilegiada por ter descoberto os Rouxette na minha adolescência. Obrigada! Para sempre, das minhas favoritas!
Descanse em paz, Marie.
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 many important childhood memories are associated with the songs of the band. Her voice was phenomenal and unique. She was so cool, stylish and beautiful. One of the coolest icon of our generation. I will miss her.

Sonia and Martin from Sorel, Quebec, Canada. For my wife and I, Roxette has been a part of our life for over 25 years. We have a lot of memories attached to their music. We had the chance to see them in Montreal in 2012 at Bell Center and we were finally fulfilled. It was with great sadness that we heard the news. Our dear Mary has left us. We will never forget it and its music will remain and play forever. Our most sincere sympathies to all the family, to Mr. Gessle and his close friends. We love you xx
One of my favorite songs is it must have been love I use to lessen to it so it could take away my pain from people that make fun of me I hope that you can rest in peace
Marie was a legend, a woman who touched the hearts of music lovers from around the world. Reading about Marie's past, she and Per Gessle wanted to make it big out of Sweden and they managed to do that very well. Over 80 million records, an incredible feat not everyone on the planet can achieve.
Marie had an iconic look and she literally had the look. She was a beautiful woman who really had a huge passion for what she wanted to do. I remember listening to "the Look" on the radio when I was just a kid and I thought it was catchy and the song stood out with Marie's vocals. Since then, I have been a fan of Roxette.
I run a social media page called Dundee Culture which helps promote my home city of Dundee in Scotland in the United Kingdom with news and features on arts and music. In remebrance to Marie, I posted a picture of a bonnie photo of the city with her lyric lines from "the Look".
She is an immortal star who will be remembered forever! She will forever have the look!
I will never forget 1991, Acapulco´s Festival when I meet you for my first time. Your performance was delightful. Your music was an icon of many decades and it will be forever in our hearts. Thank you for being with me in my good and bad times since I was teenager with your wonderful voice and songs. A beautiful musical background to my life. No suffering, no pain, no tears. My deepest condolences to your family, friends and loved ones. May you rest in peace our dear Marie.
Dear Marie, Thank you so much for your Songs, your Lyrics and your amazing Voice. It was so good To Listen your Songs since my sister plays them for me. My first cassette was Joyride and from this Moment I was a Fan of Roxette. All the years you give me so many happy feelings and big Moments. I am very sad you are gone now. But your Voice, your Singing and your Performance are always here. Rest in Peace!
Your voice was in every beautiful moment that I remember.
I know that you are in god's memory not only in ours.
Thank you!
Marie, I am from Concepción - Chile, and from a distance I wish you to be well in that plane, I will listen to you as long as it is necessary to sweeten my life, thanks for everything, your melodies and a hug to your whole family, and I will be waiting for you in each eighth note , see you soon dear, although I didn't expect your departure as soon as I understand.

Desde Argentina, un día de mucha tristeza. Mi gran sueño era poder verlos tocar en vivo alguna vez... La voz de Marie estará presente para siempre. Gracias por tu música.
En kvinna aom jag växte upp med hennes musik,många som har sagt till mig att jah liknar Marie jag var alltid stold över såna kommentarer.Läste boken älskade henne och verkligen förväntade mig att hon ska vara på den sida minst 10 år
Stark,fantastisk kvinna du är älskad och kommer att bli saknad ❤❤❤❤

Rest in peace Marie! I grew up listening to Roxette and when my boyfriend and I started our first gothic rock band we covered Dangerous. Thank you for the gift of your art to the world.
