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.

R.I.P Marie, your voice and the Roxette songs were always in the background when I was growing up in the 80's . "Dressed for Success" was one of the first songs I learnt on my guitar when I was 8 and I will always remember it. I so wanted to be a cool "rock chick " just like you 🙂 I had intensive radiation treatment for blood cancer in the early 80's and developed a brain tumour in 2012 just after I saw Roxette in concert, which was amazing. I am battling my second brain tumour now and listening to the Roxette albums are giving me a fighting spirit to keep going. Thank you for your talent and inspiration Marie, you will forever live on in my heart as well as in all the fans around the world. May you "Rock On " in Heaven. xx.

Marie ... I grew up steeped in your voice and Per’s writing . I loved every second . Had poster walls ( yes complete with real record sleeves ) and rolling stone articles . We did air bands back then and we did really well although I never liked that black wig . It’s hard to think of that soaring voice not here . Friends in Malmo sent tapes of your solo projects and “ THE STAMPS “ are still here in a box . I finally got to see the tour several albums later and blared “ Speak to me “ like I was a teenager again . The world feels a bit hollow right now ... but thankful to have been part of “ The joyride “ ... xo ? the Canadian viking ... DJ

Roxette’s Joyride was the first album I ever owned, and I was only a few years old when it was bought for me... they were the first band I saw live when I was about 7yrs old, and again back in 2012. Marie was the first female vocalist that made me want to sing and be a songwriter. I have always been and will always be in awe of her vocals, her stage presence and the music that she created that defined my childhood, my teen years and my adult years. Marie, I hope you’re off on one hell of a Joyride in the next life, and singing your heart out from where ever your spirit has gone to next! My thoughts are with your family and friends, your co-creators, Per Gessle, and all my fellow fans who have heavy hearts with me right now. All my love, RIP. Forever your #1 fan xox

La musica de Roxette fue todo para mi siempre, cuando supe de su enfermedad de Marie fue al mismo tiempo que perdi a mi padre por una enfermedad igual, ahora mi padre cumple 17 años de haber fallecido un 15 de diciembre y para mi saber que hoy ella se ha sido es muy triste. Gracias por haberme dado la musica que tanto quiero mil historias y lo mejor es que pude verlos las dos veces que vinieron a Mexico. Nos dejas el mejor regalo tus canciones. Roxette por siempre. Descanse en Paz ...

Marie e Per são responsáveis, com suas letras e músicas, pela formação de meu caráter da infância para adolescência e da adolescência para a fase adulta. Sinto tanto, tanto pela morte de Marie, que foi o meu primeiro grande exemplo feminino na fase de formação e transição de minha vida. Sou muito grato pela honra de ter vivido os anos de Roxette e o sofrimento de agora é uma honra por ter tido essa oportunidade de ter amado tanto Marie e o Roxette. Descanse, Marie. A imortalidade agora é o seu lugar. Amor para sempre. <3

Roxette has been part of my life for 20 years now. I started listening to their songs when I was 12 years old, didn't know English by that time. I loved their songs and I wanted to know what they were about, it was an incentive to grab my dictionary and learn! Marie's voice has been part of my life, the good and also the blue moments and it'll accompany me forever. She is now singing with the angels, that's for sure! <3

Music has an amazing way of marking time in our lives and providing a soundtrack for our memories. I remember the first time hearing Listen to Your Heart and seeing the video and later live in concert. Marie’s voice and presence were captivating, her later years were an inspiration and a credit to her spirit. Truly a sad loss but thankful for the great music.

Condolences to Marie's family and colleagues. Roxette are one of my favourite set of musicians and have been in my life for a long time. I was deeply saddened to hear of Marie's passing but the Joyride they created will always be part of me. She had amazing strength and courage to battle the tumour for as long as she did, may she now rest easy. Xxx

Marie querida, gracias, mil gracias porque con tu voz, con la música de Roxette me has acompañado en muchos momentos de mi vida y crecí con ella escuchando los temas en radios, vídeos, tv. Siempre serás recordada por tu bella voz y también ti singular belleza de mujer y persona. Tu voz seguirá soñando en los oídos de aquellos que una vez vivimos nuestra juventud disfrutando de tan hermosas canciones que encierran muchos de nuestros sentimientos. Siempre Roxette❤
