I moved from Sweden 17 years ago, now in Spain, everitime i get home sick, i can't help listening to ROXETTE. I Sing along the lírics, and do my own playbacks....
But I always remember when me and my brother Rodrigo, went to se the CRASH, BOOM, BANG CONCERT in Gotemburg. We got first row tickets, it was amazing !
But the best part of it, was my crazy moment :
I was so exited, and enjoyed so much the concert, a started to yell:
" I love you, Marie !! "(In swedish ofcorse)
" I love you !!!! "
And on stage Marie started plaing on her piano, but on the second time that I yelled, she stops playing, and tryes to find me in the crowd, and replies :
" I love you to ! " That moment will live in my memory forever.
THE WORLD WILL MISS YOUR VOICE ?❤️?
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.

Growing up I used to make my Mom play her Roxette cassette tape for me all the time.
I grew up hearing Marie sing and looked up to her and her ability to rock the world.
She was my hero, a woman I could look up to and I am heart broken at her
Passing, but grateful I could enjoy Roxettes music. Rock the heavens Marie
You will be missed. All my love to her family and friends!
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Marie, you have solidified you/ your band as icons of the late 80s and early 90s through your unique voice and talent. You are a master in the art of the key change where you take your song to the next level. I feel your voice was underrated and once people re-listen to your music they can see how effortless you hit those high notes (F5s to be exact). Your songs will forever be karaoke staples as we try to match the glory that was the original yet always fall short. “It must have been Love” and “Spending My Time” will always be my favorite (I have a thing for key changes in songs, can’t help it). The most important thing is you’ve left your legacy here on earth and you are now at peace.
Thanks for giving splendid and magnificent rock pop songs during my teenage life. Till now am still like and listening Roxette hits????????. R.I.P. Thank you Marie. ⚘
Voce marcou minha geração e vai fazer muita falta... Que Deus a tenha e que sua familia e anigos sejam abençoados por Ele... 🙁
Lembro-me muito bem a primeira vez que tive a honra de ouvir uma das suas músicas: "Spending My Time", desde então, começou a fazer parte da minha vida, dos meus sentimentos diários. Sua voz marcou época e sua história será eternizada em todo o mundo. Obrigado!!!
My condolences to Marie’s family, I was fortunate enough to meet Marie at a record signing in the 80’s at Virgin Record Store in Melbourne, she was friendly and I was star struck, Marie had an amazing voice and will live on in my heart forever.
Thank You.
Choramos por perder uma diva, o céu está em festa por receber a melhor, Marie para sempre em nossos corações!?
So sad to hear of Marie's passing. Her grace through her challenges was awe inspiring. I was lucky enough to see Roxette in concert with my daughter and a friend in Sydney. Even though it was evident that she struggled, her voice, grace and the ability to perform so beautifully with the wonderful support of her fellow artists was a privilege to witness. To her family and friends, may the memories you hold help you to travel through this time, may they help to heal your hearts knowing she was loved by so many.
Thank you Marie for the songs you have given to the World what a fantastic singer you are. Roxette songs will live on in history and generation to come joyride it is and a great tour of Australia. Went to your concert at Boondall entertainment centre Brisbane Australia great night that concert was. Thank you Marie keep singing those fantastic songs from above r.i.p
Peace
From Australia

Condoléances à votre famille. Vous m'avez accompagnée pendant mon adolescence. Que les anges veillent sur vous maintenant.
I would like to say that it is very sad news, but luckily you leave us your music that will be memorable forever, the fans do not let your art elaborated with charisma die together with your friend Per. I am 22 years old and my mother was the one who taught me the great band Roxette, which I love deeply. Rest in peace you deserve a sky full of music, ballad and rock!
Firstly, sincere condolences to Marie’s family, friends and of course Per.
Roxette came in to my life at 16 years old when Look Sharp was released. I remember heading in to town to buy the CD and once home playing it non stop. The other albums followed suit. I was very lucky to see them 3 times in concert. The last one on my 40th birthday and being 2nd row from the front gave us a prime view of the band. Marie was a powerhouse of vocals, an amazing singer and a lovely person. I am truly saddened to hear of her passing. She may be gone, but the memories and music will live on forever. Thank you for everything you gave us. Xx
Good bye Marie ❤ Thank you for your songs ❤ Rest in peace. Love you, from the North.
A great loss for her family, her friends and her fans but Marie will continue to live through her music. I grew up with Roxette's songs and I have lots of beautiful memories related to their music: the first slow dance, the first kiss etc etc. Roxette has been part of my life since I was a young girl (I know all the songs) and I'll make sure to introduce their music to my children as well.
RIP, Marie! Thank you for the music!
Tu voz ha sido uno de las cosas más hermosas que senti en la vida, no solo la escuchaba, la sentia en el corazón, fuiste el primer referente femenino que tuve, una mujer libre y rebelde, no puedo explicar la tristeza que me provoca tu partida, los que te amamos te recordaremos bella, fuerte y poderosa, inmensa sobre el escenario haciendo saltar nuestros cuerpos y nuestras almas, te amo y le pido al universo que te reciba como una estrella más en el firmamento.te amo para siempre.
