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.

La tristeza que siento es enorme, por un instante me transporte a mi habitación de adolescente
Y recorri la habitación mirando todos los posters de roxette en la pared. Repitiendo el mi mente.. No o puede ser real que hayas partido. Gracias gracias infinitas por acompañarme en toda mi vida..gracias por hacerme vibrar de emoción en el Luna park en Argentina. Gracias por las baladas en español. Gracias por dejarnos tu voz.. SIMPLEMENTE GRACIAS. TE VAMOS A EXTRAÑAR. MARIE F.

I always loved Roxette's songs' lyrics and melodies but it was Marie's voice that made them even more unique and full of so many emotions nothing else could express or describe
I sometimes get synesthetic sensations and when I listen to Roxette and Marie's voice they happen almost all the time. I even wrote down ideas for drawings and animations I wanted to create in the future when my skills would be enough and I will do that one day, I just wish Marie could have seen them and could have known how big influence and inspiration she is for me and how important place in my heart she had and always will have.

Roxette fez parte da minha adolescência, foi a primeira banda que realmente gostei e g osto até hoje! A voz de Marie transmitia muita energia, amor e felicidades!!! "It Must have been love" é a música que marca os 26 anos entre namoro e meu casamento! Que a voz e melodias cantadas por Marie ainda continue a espalhar a alegria e o amor em todo mundo!!! Meus sentimentos a toda família e a familia Roxette....

Honestly, what do you say? Way back in the early 1980s i fell in love with Roxette. You were my 80's and 90's, god, all my life! I finally got to see Marie & Roxette a few years ago here in Calgary and it was a bucket list item. I am so glad that I got to see you guys..it was definitely after your long hiatus, but the energy and passion you had was immaculate. RIP. My heart breaks. Rox forever! Xoxoxo!

I relate her and Roxette to what now appears to be the brightest period of my life - my teenage years. A sense of freedom, dreams and light...
May your Joyride in Heaven be light too, Marie!
