I have been a big fan of Brazil since my early teens. Marie's songs and voice have always been inspiring and perpetuated at many times in my life and will continue to create memories. I am also in the process of mourning due to a loss in the family. (my youngest brother) and I wish you in the family all the divine strength to comfort you. Much love to Marie and to you.
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.

RIP Marie. I was so lucky to have had the chance to see you in concert. Sending my love and condolences to Marie's family and to Per. Thank you for the awesome music
Mis más sentidas condolencias a la familia de Marie, a Per y a todos los fans de Roxette. Hoy se apagó una gran voz, que nos hizo bailar, cantar y emocionarnos hasta las lágrimas con sus canciones. Con ella se va una parte de nuestra adolescencia o juventud que vibró con Roxette. Que descanse en paz.
Agur Marie
La lucha ha terminado, descansa en paz.
Besos a la familia en estos duros momentos.
Peace & love
Jag minns när vi var i östra Ljungby en kväll hemma hos dej å festa. Marie vila i frid du är saknad. ❤️
For many a huge singer from the 80's and 90's... notalgia, a warmth for the broken-hearted. For me, she was a voice that was present every day. I survived bullying while hearing her. I passed through severe loneliness and depression listening to her notes. With her, i developed my taste for photography and how to stand in front of a camera. When i started to lose my hair when i was thirteen, i placed a photo of her on Have A Nice Day on the mirror, shaved my head and felt very cool and good about it. I took inspiration on her to feel confident and strong. She sang the songs that helped me to stand up and be positive on the darkest times. Today i lost a piece of me. Today the world looks colorblind.
De este lado del mundo en donde yo vivo, Argentina, quiero expresar mi tristeza ante la noticia de tu partida. Marie, has sido una persona tan importante en la vida de millones de personas alrededor del mundo.Comprendes cuanto amor has dejado en nuestros corazones?? Roxette llegó a mi vida cuando era muy chica, tenía 10 años, y la primer canción que escuché fue Listen to your heart, y me enamoré de tan tremenda canción,tanto que la convertí en la banda sonora de mi vida, como tantisimas canciones de Roxette que nos han acompañado a lo largo de la vida y lo seguirán haciendo. Fuiste una persona inspiradora, un tremendo ejemplo de lucha, de coraje, de fortaleza, superación....y tanto más. Te amo, con mi alma rota. Fui feliz de verte en abril de 2012 cuando vinieron a Mar del Plata mi ciudad a presentarse en el estadio. Lágrimas de felicidad, de emoción, de admiración de verte tan hermosa junto a Per. Por siempre en mi corazón, en mis recuerdos y en mi vida!
When I was a young boy, I had a dream that I could meet you someday, Marie. It became true. It was almost unreal, but it was real. I had the honour to say "You are an Angel" when you were in Rio. You said "Thank You". The most beautiful "Thank You" ever. Your look carried us to heaven. Your voice embraced our souls. You brought love. You coloured our lives.
It will be forever this way. We love you. Our dearest, our inspiration, our Marie. Forever.
Roxette has been part of my life for more than 30 years... and they will continue to be as long as I live. With Marie's passing away a little bit of my heart has gone with her. I'm terribly sad, but glad that she's finally in a better place, resting in piece and singing with angels. The world will never forget such a great voice and such an amazing artist. Roxette songs are classics! May her family —and Per— find comfort and be able to recover from their loss. Much love from Chile, a country that always loved Roxette <3
Hello from Argentina, this morning when in the news they said that Marie passed away, I froze, I started crying and ran to hug my partner.
I grew up with his songs, from the age of 14 until my current 42 I keep listening, and I will always do it.
Thank you Marie for being part of my life, in happy, sad moments, right now I am listening to you singing 'Spending my time', now you are free and you fly high, we will see you again, my condolences to your whole family.
I LOVE YOU MARIE.
I am sorry to your family for this immense loss and to all her loved ones and friends. You made music so fun to listen to and dance to. So inspirational in so many ways. RIP ❤️?. Erin from Washington state.
I started listening to Roxette with I was 8 or 9 and "The Look" was on radio. Now, over 30 years and hundreds of songs later later, they are one of my favorite bands. If Marie meant that much to me, I can only imagine how much she meant to her family and loved ones. The world is a little darker tonight without Marie's light shining.... but it shines inside of all her fans. We wil miss you, Marie and wish the best for your family and friends. Enjoy your eternal Joyride.
I’m a big fan of Roxette and still in my memory when I had been watch Roxette’s concert in MEIS Ancol Jakarta 2012. At that time I was very happy enjoyed your every single wonderful song and fantastic music.
Now so sad heard Marie was gone, your songs, your voice, your style will still in my heart forever. RIP my idol, Things will never be the same! Love you...
Thank you for that amazing voice! ❤❤ Rest in peace ?
Cara Marie, grazie grazie grazie per avermi accompagnato in tanti momenti speciali, a volte tristi, della mia vita. Da piccolo ero iscritto alla vostra fanzine e non vedevo l’ora di ritirare la posta per ricevere notizie sui Roxette. Sei stata per me una compagna, una amica, una voce che ti da forza e ti sostiene.
Ho avuto l’immenso piacere di ammirarti durante l’ultimo tour a Madrid quando hai elettrizzato ed estasiato tutto il pubblico. Ti adoro. Non ti dimenticherò mai. Tuo fan per sempre
Se fue una GRAN persona, que supo acompañarme en mi niñez, adolescencia y hasta hoy como adulto. Varios pasajes importantes de mi vida quedaron ligados con Roxette y su música. La voz de Marie quedará en mi corazón por la eternidad. Forever Marie ... Forever Roxette.
Thank you Marie for your wonderful music, you have entertained many millions and brought smiles and many special memories to them all. We are so glad that you came to Australia to share your music with us all, we certainly will be playing your music forever on. Rest peacefully now xx
Thank you for your music, your voice, your strength, your musicality ...
My highschool days were filled by Roxette ..
I was growing up in Japan. I used to listen her music
I first discovered Roxette with Listen to your Heart. It was amazing, I then bought the CD and I memorized all the songs. I had the chance to see them live in Mexico City, five meters away from the stage and I loved it! I played their music so often in those times that all my friends and family knew me as a core fan. I even had my hair cut like Marie in my university years, in the late 80s early 90s. Nowadays my former classmates at uni remember me every time they hear a Roxette song. Marie was not only a great singer, she had a fine arts talent that she also shared with the world, I am an amateur illustrator and one of the first portraits I made was of Marie. A piece of my life and heart is gone with her. RIP.
