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.

What i would to say is that i haven't enough words to say how much I'm sad. Haven't enough words to explain my sadness hearing the tragic news about Marie. Deeply deeply sorry.

Peace be with the family of Marie. May her spirit soar! I was a teenager when I saw Roxette on MTV. So much great music left for us. "She said Hello you fool I love you"

How to describe in words what went through my mind when I learned about your departure. With your music I laughed, I cried, I had fun. Thank you for giving us so much talent. I will continue listening to your songs for the rest of my life. I love you forever!!!

Sad to see another great and successful artist taken from a world where her music meant so much. Monday 1st June 2015 @ the 3 arena in Dublin was the most PERFECT DAY when i was finally going to see Roxette live which was ONE WISH I always had, I got up and got DRESSED FOR a SUCCESS full day with my wife who prepared a good MILK & TOAST & HONEY breakfast before we headed for Dublin in or car, the excitement was so good it felt ALMOST UNREAL & like a JOYRIDE. We parked up and walked to the venue & as I passed people on the street I couldn’t help but ask them HOW DO YOU DO, after a few times my wife give me THE LOOK & I new then it could get DANGEROUS. However I could not resist the temptation 1 more time and FROM A DISTANCE I could see minor accident Oh yes i did ! I looked to my wife & came out with it ! CRASH! BOOM! BANG! Shortly after that we were @ the venue and in our seats and waiting patiently for the main event. Lights went down and back up suddenly I could see Marie on stage ! This was the only way I wanted to be SPENDING MY TIME that evening, soaking it all in and enjoy every second it was without a SHADOW OF A DOUBT the best evening, for someone to get on stage who had been ill showed her love for her fans & music, we DANCED AWAY and even had a wee CRY myself when the show was drawing to a close however it was a SWEET HELLO and now the SAD GOODBYE. I thank you so much for the music you gave us all. R.I.P Marie Gone but you will never be forgotten.

Ich kann es immer noch nicht fassen das du nicht mehr da bist.... mir kommen immer noch die tränen wenn ich daran denke, keine neuen Lieder mehr von dir/euch zu hören.... Die Lieder laufen hier rauf und runter in Dauerschleife.... wünsche allen Fans, aber besonders deiner Familie, und Freunden ganz viel Kraft, das sie die Zeit ohne dich überstehen... WIR werde DICH NIE VERGESSEN R.I.P. Marie

No hay palabras que alcancen para describir el dolor que siento. Desde el año 1990 le pusiste música a mi vida. La banda Sonora de ella. Acompañando cada momento con tu voz mágica. Pude asistir a seis recitales, elegir tu música para que me acompañe en momentos inolvidables como fue mi boda. Y hasta mis pinturas llevan el nombre de tus canciones como mi favorita: I en tid som var. Serás inolvidable. Tu música te mantendrá siempre viva. Ya no más sufrimiento. Vuela alto Queen of rain. Un cálido abrazo a Mikael, Josefin y Oskar.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift with us and making my teenage years so much happier with your music. Rest peacefully... Farewell Marie. ?

Marie, As a child the first album my Mum bought me was Roxette's Look Sharp Live! and I immediately fell in love with it, with Marie, her look, her style but most of all her voice.... What a voice. Roxette were my firsts, first CD, first VHS and my first concert, the Joyride concert back in Sydney in 1991. Every song seems to have a memory attached to it that I will cherish. Your voice has bought great comfort in sad times and great joy in good times, there isn't a week that I haven't had a song of yours playing. It was a delight and a highlight to have seen you perform again in 2012 and 2015, memories I will never forget. You have been such an inspiration and you will forever continue to be, your legacy will live on forever not only in the music but also within your beautiful family. Thank you for the music and the memories, you will never be forgotten but will forever be missed. Fly high Marie xxx

Droga Marie, Twój głos, Twoje piosenki były dla mnie światełkiem w wielu ciężkich chwilach. Dodawały otuchy. Towarzyszyłaś mi, gdy byłam nastolatką, później - w dorosłym życiu. Będę Cię słuchać nadal... Byłaś częścią mojego życia. Dziękuję Ci za każdą piękną nutę. Spoczywaj w pokoju ??
