I grew up listening to your music. Your voice has challenged me... Your music has inspired me and continues to move me every time I sing your songs. We lost another legend and the heavens gained another angel... You will be missed, Marie. Our thoughts and prayers to your family.
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.

Vale our beautiful Marie - we think of her belonging to the world, yet most importantly she was a mother, wife and colleague to you all. Her music turned sad days into sunshine - she helped my mum through depression and I at 31 - could not have imagined a childhood without Roxette. We danced to her beautiful voice on CD and danced all night when we saw her in concert in Brisbane 2012 with wonderful Per. She never faultered - her voice remained crisp and dynamic, despite her pain. Marie is an inspiration and a strength I will continue to look up to when my days are dark. I hope she got as much positivity and strength from us all as we got from her - We love you Marie, angel you brought us the "Perfect Day" and promise to sing to us in heaven again someday XX - Luke Cirsky and Joy Holmes (Australia)
Dear Marie my heart is broken about your passed away, it’s a big lost to all of us. I have to say that I will not forget those difficult moments in my life when I found a refuge in your songs, when my heart was a confused and sometimes I lost my way, I always listened “listen to your heart “ because that song always gave me strength to remember who I am and go ahead, I would like to thank you for those special times, it’s incredible how someone like you can change through your voice. Peace in your soul Marie and I hope you can fly higher now, I hope all of us can fly higher.
Gracias Marie, en mi corazón por siempre!
El DOLOR VIINO PARA QUEDARSE.INAMOVIBLE.
PERO TODO LO QUE HAS HECHO HA MEJORADO CADA RINCÓN Y ME HICISTE VER LO VERDADERO DE VIVIR. NO LE ESCRIBO A LA. ARTISTA, LE ESCRIBO A ESE ESPIRITU QUE HABITÓ SU CUERPO, QUIEN ME DEVOLVIO LA FE..
CADA SEGUNDO DEL RESTO DE MI VIDA VOY A EXTRAÑARTE.. ASI COMO DESEAR VOLVER A VERTE....
Roxette fué la banda de toda mi adolescencia! de mi vida!. Sentí y siento un amor y agradecimiento enorme por todo su arte, su magia, sus voces, su buena música. Y estoy agradecida de haber tenido la fortuna de disfrutarlos en vivo, en el Luna Park, en donde viví ese recital inundada de emoción por verlos ahí! a Marie y a Per! ahí! adelante mío!!! únicos! Mis respetos y condolencias a la familia de Marie, una voz única e inigualable... esa voz que te envuelve de amor... una y otra vez.... Una guerrera que luchó tanto todos estos años y esta enfermedad de mierda ganó... y lamentablemente sigue ganando... Ojalá algún día pueda viajar a Estocolmo. Cariños.
Dear Marie, Thank you for your great music. I grow up listening to Roxette, and I had a great time. I've been to Roxette's concert twice, in 1995 and 2012, in Taipei, Taiwan. It was very impressive to me. I will love you and miss you forever.
Today the world says goodbye to one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard in my music career. Thank you, Marie. Today I've been working with music for almost 30 years and you were one of my inspirations.
God bless you beautiful Angle, your voice will ring out in heaven.
You may be gone, but you will never be forgotten R.I.P.
Hace 31 años atrás escuchamos algo como : “1,2,3,4 Walking like a man, hitting like a hammer She's a juvenile scam, never was a quitter
Tasty like a raindrop, she's got the look…..”
Hoy con mucha pena y dolor nos enteramos que aquella voz fuerte de esta y muchas otras canciones ha partido al coro celestial, a rockear con los ángeles bellas melodías, tal vez un jazz como le gustaba a Marie…
Como Fans Club oficial estamos muy acongojados con la noticia, pero a su vez sabemos que Marie está descansando, que ya no está sufriendo. Queremos invitarlos a que su voz jamás se apague en nuestros recuerdos y mantener vivo el legado de esta gran banda musical.
Roxette Chile Fans Club siempre estaremos presente.
Un abrazo a todos
Marie, your voice will always resonate with us. Thank you for your talent and music. You will always live in our hearts.
Fast mein ganzes Leben hast du mich begleitet. Deine Musik hat mich durch alle Facetten meines Lebens geführt. Ich hatte die grosse Ehre dich zweimal live in Deutschland sehen zu dürfen, diese Zeit war eine der schönsten meines Lebens.
Ich danke dir von Herzen für alles was du der Welt gegeben hast. Ich hoffe du hast deinen Frieden gefunden und bist jetzt schmerzfrei.
Ich werde dich nie vergessen und sehr vermissen <3
Quedara en los oidos de las generaciones venideras y en la suerte de los que pudierón disfrutar de su gran y calida personalidad.una humildad increible que eso la hacia mas grande todavia.si el mundo estuviera lleno de Marie's seria un lugar mas lindo donde vivir.siempre en nuestros corazones amada Marie.
Marie, from the moment i heard your voice i learned to love music. I have been a fan ever since. Every kid in my school tried to look like you, and sing like you.your music was the biggest inspiration and the soundtrak of my life. almost.Thirty years passed and I had the chance to finally see you in concert.. It was a perfect night here in buenos aires in 2011. And you looked so happy I just want to say thank you for your courage, your love for music, your lyrics.
....Du lilla sparvöga flyg över ängarna...Dröm dina drömmar så länge du känner liv
I will never forget you
Marie, eu te amo profundamente do fundo do meu coração. Sua voz e sua música seguirão comigo pelo resto da minha vida, aonde quer que eu vá. Sua presença será eterna nas minhas lembranças, nas minhas melhores memórias e na minha vida. Descanse em paz.
I was very sad to hear of Marie's passing. I have fond memories of listening to Joyride many, many times over since high school. Many of her songs hit such a cord with my soul; Spending my time, Fading like a Flower, Watercolors in the Rain..many of her songs helped me through some rough times. I hope you are comforted by the love from around the world as many lives were touched by her voice. Thank you for sharing her with us. Love to her family, friends and bandmates.
My deepest condolences from Costa Rica to all the family and friends. It is certainly a huge loss, Her music will be kept in our hearts forever. ¡Gracias por tu música que me hizo vibrar siempre!
Thank U for being with me in my good n bad times since I was teenager with U' wonderful voice n songs. May You Rest In Peace...
I am an amateur musician who his love for music started with you two. I have always had a tragic vision of my own life and since my adolescence, I have been preparing what is supposed to must be my humble musical legacy when I die. That's the way I want to be remembered and I dream with filling the face of people who loved me with tears each time they listen some of my music. Because music is the most powerful weapon to get overwhelming feelings, those ones that appear when we miss somebody.
Today, I take a look in Internet and see how everybody has some heartfelt words for you... and I envy you, Marie, cause you have achieved widely my goal in life. You left a mark in millions of people around the world and that's enough to left this world with a smile, cause those memories of you and your music inside people's heart are immortal.
Good trip, Marie.
Thank you Marie for the wonderful music that was such a large part of my teens and twenties. A beautiful musical background to my life.
We were lucky enough to see you on your last Australian your.
Deepest condolences to your family, friends and loved ones.
