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.

From Brazil...Marie inspire me since o Was 12, my mon sing and scream her songs all the time... she was/is and will be always my fav singer, Rest in peace angel.. i will always miss u ❤️.
I’m very sad to hear of Marie’s passing. I found out as soon as I woke up this morning. Its a sad day. I’d like to share a quick story: My best friend introduced me to Roxette when I was 8 years old. I always had all the cassettes/cds right up until now. My best friend passed in October of this year, thirty years after she introduced me to Roxette, and I have been listening to Roxette to help me get through the grief and loss. I have happy memories of coming home listening to her music and dancing & singing like nobody is watching me. Her music brings me back to life & I’m so glad that I have these memories to help me find my spark in life again. With this sad news its my hope that the family can see what hope she brought to so many others, including me. Thank you for helping her shine when she was here so she could share her amazing gifts with the world.
Sending you my love, light & kindness
Dana
Thank you for supplying the soundtrack to my life. From the time I got hooked on Roxette as a teenager to the 2012 concert in New York, thank you for all of the years in between and all of the years since.
Marie, your voice will always be in my heart for eternity. Thank you so much for your art!
Dear Marie
Rest in peace my dear
Thank you for your songs and your voice
You sweetened my teenage years
Now I am forty years but I never forget you
Love
ROXETTE , MARIE, SERÁ ETERNAMENTE LEMBRADA POR NÓS BRASILEIROS, SUA VOZ FORTE E MACIA EMBALOU MUITOS SONHOS E SUAS CANÇÕES NOS FAZ VOLTAR AO MELHOR DO NOSSO PASSADO. DESCANSE EM PAZ.
Una tristeza enorme. Una de las voces que me a acompañado por largo tiempo nos ha dejado, tuve la enorme fortuna de verlos en vivo. su discografía un legado enorme para quienes gustamos de su música. Conformidad para su familia y para Per Gessle Marie descansa en paz
roxette was and is for me: passion, good mood, connectedness, childhood memories and, of course, very good music. Marie misses a large part of the whole. when i heard the look sharp album 30 years ago, a love started that lasts until now. I am grateful that I could see her live again in 2011 and 2015. In 2015, I was even allowed to meet her in person. I will carry all these memories in my heart. Marie, you will miss me so much
"I was so lucky" to have met you Marie ... thanks for your music, I will never forget you ... see you soon "little girl" I miss you so much
Viví mi adolescencia junto a la música de Roxxete, cantaba en mi cuarto como si fuera Marie “listen to you heart” y muchas otras, ninguna como ella, maravillosa voz que siempre brillará, el día de hoy es un día triste para la música, para nosotros sus fans, un abrazo desde México.
There are no words to express exactly how we all feel today. We grew up with your amazing voice, and It will stay forever with us.
You gave us everything, I hope I now can rest in peace
I'm 25 years old and i have to say your songs it's very important to me, it's like poetry that touch my heart everytime i listen to. No words can't describe exactly whaht i feel listening to Roxette songs. Thank you Marie for your music that will forever lives on <3
Your voice will be always part of the soundtrack of my life. Viva Roxette forever!
So many memories with her songs, her unique voice and soundtrack of my years living in Europe. May she rest in peace ????
La mas bella de todas las voces en el universo. Fue en una tarde de junio del 2013, cuando listen to you heart, llego a mi vida, me sentí tan atraída por el gran sentimiento impreso en la voz de Marie, desde entonces soñaba con poder conocerla, esperando que en algún momento regresara a mi país o yo fuera hacia ella. Pero, entendía la situación por la que pasaba, una verdadera guerrera.
Se quedara para siempre en mi mente y en cada uno de los años de mi adolescencia. Llevare impreso el eco de su voz en mi alma hasta el ultimo de mis días.
Mi más sentido pésame a toda su familia, amigos y a los fans de Roxette. Hasta siempre mi bella Marie.
Marie, tack så mycket för allt du har gjort! Din kraft och spänning har varit smittsam i många år och jag räknar med att jag är lycklig att ha sett dig och Per flera gånger i både Tyskland och Australien. Din musik kommer att förbli oförglömd, särskilt när jag är skyldig mitt äktenskap till din underbara ballad "Listen To Your Hear!". Jag hoppas att du hittar en ny joyride där du är nu!
Things will never be the same...
But for sure there is a new star on the sky, and another angel voice in heaven now...
Always will be into my heart, and never be forgotten
You have left beautiful memories in my life. Thanks for the lovely music, songs and unforgettable melodies. Rest in peace beautiful Marie.
My love for Roxette began in elementary school. A mix of rock and pop and was sold. Joyride came out when I was in 8th grade. A time in my life when music got me through everything. I wore my cassette tape thin. Couldn’t go anywhere without that album, I never got it mark seeing Roxette off my music bucket list. Denver was never on their stops. I was hoping I would get my chance but was heartbroken to hear that Marie was still fighting this awful disease. Ill continue to enjoy their music of the past and mourn that we will never hear her beautiful voice once more.
