Roxette's music has played an important role in my life. The first time I heard their music I was 13 years, by listening the Joyride album. I remember seeing Per and Marie on the cover of the album. I fell in love of this beautiful blonde girl, but most important, her beautiful and amazing voice that enhanced the music of Per. For me, Marie was the queen of "coolness".
This is a very sad day to me, because I feel I have lost a friend who shared her feelings through the music she sang. However, her legacy and talent will never die.
Rest in peace Marie, God bless 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.

Marie inspired me through out my whole life, she was the reason why I started taking english lessons, ironically ?, and I ended up building a carrer around it. I travelled the world and wanted to visit Sweden because of Roxette. In the sad moments and in the happy ones I can recall a Roxette's song being the soundtrack of it. Her voice, talent and spirit I dare to say changed my life in a very positive way. Thanks to Marie's family for taking such a good care of her in the last years and for being so strong and help her to get back to the stage. I am overwhelmed, but I.am going to remember her with joy because that was what she did! Bring joy to our lives!
Somente agradecer!!!
Pelas boas lembranças da minha vida, embaladas pela sua música e voz.
Que a partir desse momento, os anjos apreciem e admirem sua linda voz e canções, como nós, seus fãs, fizemos até hoje é faremos eternamente, aqui na terra.
Descanse em paz, querida!!!

I feel very sad about Marie's death. Heaven is privileged to have an excellent singer. Her art and her unforgettable songs marked an era and they will always accompany me. Thank you very much for your legacy, Marie! ????????❤️
Please open the heaven's door, Angel come back...
All day is like a bad dream. I was angry that my dad always watched polish news. I ate pancakes. Dad called me in a strange tone. MARIE FREDRIKSSON IS DEAD. One second... And my face was all in tears. I couldn't believe it but I cried. That can be any other Marie! No... "Marie Fredriksson is dead. The singer Roxette died at the age of 61. Now I'm trying to not cry. That make nothing, I konw. But it's other kind of pain.
Marie and Per was for me like a second parents. I listen Roxette" only" 9 years, but it's almpst half time of my life. I listened to Roxette during better days and bad days. When I went to school. When I moved to high school. When I was arguing with my parents. When I passed my final exams. When I found a job abroad. When I was in love. When my heart was broken. When, out of love for Roxette, I went to the dream Hotel Tylösand. Every time.
Now, my "mother" is dead. But I want to believe that she is in heaven. No longer with us, she is up there. Beautiful and healthy, she looks at us and reads our messages. Maybe my grandmother has already met her ...
Open the heaven's door, Marie is back.
17/04/2011 foi a data que realizei meu sonho de ir no show do Roxette no Brasil, me emocionei com seu retorno e como pedi a Deus por sua saúde, te amo sempre e como fã meu coração doi ao saber da sua partida, descanse em paz Marie você sempre estará em nosso coração. Para família e amigos que vocês tenham força e que Deus possa confortar a todos. Te amo Marie
I've been listening to Roxette since I was two years old, Tourism was the first album I had. These news have been very sad but Marie will certainly live on as an inspiration for many people. Many thanks for the music and the memories.

I am.very saddened that you have passed away Marie, you were and will always be one of my favorite singers, I had all of your albums, every song sung by you represented many important episodes of my life, the legacy that you leave to all of us is your beautiful voice and wonderful memories that will last us a lifetime, thank you for making every moment of my life special! May your soul rest in peace Marie with love your devoted fan!?
When I first heard “Dressed for Success” in the 80s while in high school, I was totally hooked on Roxette. Marie’s gorgeous voice and Per’s guitar and vocals were the perfect blend. As the years progressed, I bought every cassette then CD I could find by Roxette- frequently ordering music from overseas. Following Marie’s career and personal life for nearly thirty years. I am profoundly saddened knowing that she is no longer with us. May Marie’s family and Per find peace and know that her fans truly adore Marie and her musical legacy. With deepest condolences-Chris
I was honored to be with Roxette twice, 2011 and 2012 in Sao Paulo. My favorite band there, playing live, so close to me. Something I could only dream when I was a teenager became true. Thank you, Marie, for all special moments and your unique talent. I am sure God is listening to you singing now.
Thank you for many hours of singing for me, I wanted to look like you, the world has lost a magnificent voice. Rest easy you will be missed. X
Thank you for making me the hopeless romantic i am today xx
Thank you so much for your fantastic music, Marie. And my deep condolence to her family. I was so lucky that I had finally discovered great music when I was in highschool back to around 2005-2006. I had so much fun when I listen to the music, draw a lot of fan arts, and browsing various Roxette materials and media. You had been spiced up my teenage years much better than the usual.
Thank you so much, Marie. Thank you for being a big part of my life.
I always liked all Roxette songs but "Listen To Your Heart" was always my favorite. It touches my soul and my heart in a special way. Thank you, Marie Fredriksson, for your voice, your existence, persistence, strength and courage. Rest in peace.
