My first obsession with music as a kid was with Roxette. I owned every album, single, video, and have attended every concert in Brisbane. Marie, you were an amazing talent and the world will never be the same. Thank you for sharing your gifted voice with us. May you rest in peace.
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.

I was still a little child... It was the first time... I saw Marie with her Musicvideos on TV! Since then, my parents have had to make the radio louder and louder. With each of Marie‘s Songs. I was fall in Love of Marie and her beautyfull vocals! That‘s 29 years ago! Her music accompanied me through my youth and my whole life! And she will continue to accompany me. Marie is past away, but in my heart immortal!
Marie, i will ne miss you!
All my love and strength goes to her family and friends! R.I.P Marie!!!
Marie, you were wonderful. Your voice was something else. I’ve listened to your music since I was a child, and still love it as much today. 61 is way too young, but how lucky we are to have had you. I count myself very lucky to have seen you at the O2 in London a few years ago. My condolences to Per and all your family. RIP. XXX
Your music, voice, face, are a big part of my life. With the best memories, the best years of my life, with the most important years of my life - you were somewhere around. And you will.. ❤️
I was born in 1990 and everytime i hear Roxette music i remember my childhood. My parents are big fans and on every holliday gathering we would put some music from 80's and 90's.
Condolences to the family. Thank you for the beautiful music and great memories. Rest in Peace.
I've grown up with your songs, since 1990. It was such a devastated news. I remembered back to 2012 when I watched your concert in Singapore. You had such a good spirit and we had so much time enjoying your songs. Thank you Marie for your legacy. Your music, your songs will love on forever in my heart.
Thank you so much for your wonderful and inspiring music which was and will be for sure, part of my life. Your beautiful and powerful voice motivated me to study English as a second language, I learned a lot by listening your songs. I'm an English teacher now.
I felt terrible when I knew you were ill because my father had the same illness but you faced that problem and showed us how strong and brave you are and how important is to live and feel alive.
You will live forever in our memories and hearts.
A great strong woman. You will be missed. Rest in peace.
I've have been a Roxette fan all my life, my first ever concert was a Roxette concert in South Africa after apartheid with my Mom. Me and my Mom adored you, many a times did we both try and copy your hairstyles Marie, failing miserably I might add. Your voice has been the soundtrack to my life, I'm 40 now and there is not a memory that doesn't have a Roxette song and your voice attached to it. My Mom passed away when I was 17, and to this day Crash Boom Bang is a song that means so much to me, it being my Mom's favourite. Your voice truly was that of an angel and I was honoured and lucky enough to have been able to see you live 5 times. You are like family to me and your passing has devastated me, I cant believe you're gone. Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice, your unbelievable talent, and yourself with me and the world, the world is a lesser place without you. Things will never be the same xxxxx
I grew up listening to Marie and Per’s music through most of my adolescence and adulthood. It was the most beautiful music I’ve ever listened to. While I’m devastated by her untimely loss, I am happy that we shared this Earth together and it was a privilege to hear her voice, including a live concert in LA in 2012. We love you Marie, and we will miss you forever. My wife and I’s thoughts are with your family and friends during this difficult time. M.
Marie, thank you for all that you have been and always will be in my life. You were part of my life story and helped me a lot to be the adult I am today. You are always present in my memory and in my heart. Continue to be the light you have always been there in the sky. I love you!!
When I was 10 years old I had such a crush on Marie when watching her on MTV.
Part of my childhood, part of my life... Gone, but never forgotten.
To quote another Swedish band: "Thank you for the music."
Ik wens de familie veel sterkte toe.
Amé siempre la música de Roxette y en el año 94 o 95 estuvieron en Buenos Aires para presentarse en un programa muy exitoso de la televisión argentina y esa noche fui al canal para ver su show y caminando por los pasillos de ¡repente los vi!!! Y casi me desmayo de la emoción, y les saqué una foto que aún conservo, ¡esa noche me fui Feliz!!!. Muy triste fue hoy la noticia de Marie, que estés en paz ???????
Con mucha pena por la enfermedad que tuviste que enfrentar y que terminara con tu hermosa voz, pero muy muy agradecida porque fuiste valiente y cumpliste tus sueños, gracias a los cuales te cruzaste en mi vida y la llenaste de colores en mis momentos de penas y alegrías. Con Roxette descubrí tu país, tu alegria, tu voz y mucho pop y rock. A traves de las canciones acompañaste mi adolescencia y solo puedo decirte infinitas gracias por tu valentía y coraje, por dar y vivir al maximo hasta el final. A tu hermosa familia quisiera darles un gran abrazo de amor y fuerza para que puedan continuar sin ti. Gracias Marie, siempre estarás en mi corazon en mis recuerdos y mi lista de canciones favoritas. Gracias!!! <3

My deepest condolences to Marie's family and friends. Marie will be missed by everyone whose lives she touched, although her music will live on forever to remind us how wonderfully talented and special she was.
Marie and Roxette were a very important part of my journey through my young adult years, and I have grown up with them and still adore their music to this day. There are many songs that trigger memories of events in my life, whether from Roxette or from one of my favourite albums ever - "Den ständiga resan" (which I love enormously even though I don't understand the lyrics).
I had the pleasure of going to many Roxette concerts in Australia over the years, with lovers and friends. They were always a blast! It was a privilege to see Marie perform for the royal family at the Royal Palace in Stockholm in 1992 - it was the highlight of my first ever adventure overseas - it was magical.
May you rest in peace on your eternal journey, Marie.
Rest in Peace sweet lady. You were one hell of a fighter and one amazing singer / performer. You will always hold a special place in my heart through your music. I am SO glad that I got to see you perform with Per one last time in Australia back in 2015. Your voice and your smile from that show will stay with me forever. The world will be a sadder place without you in it, Marie but your music will live on forever..thank you for bringing it to us xo
Marie,
I have not been a fan for a very long period so far.
Just about a year ago.
Although I will remain it for the rest of my life.
The music you and Per made was awesome and to be honest,
I think I listen in almost every day.
The thing I regret the most is the fact that I haven't been a fan earlier.
I was searching to find info if Roxette would still tour,
But then I end u finding out your health wasn't that good anymore.
It will always be a unforfilled dream to see Roxette play live as the heartbreaking
news reached me this afternoon.
Keep the good music up above ❤️
Rest in peace Marie
