Marie, Always, ALWAYS, my singer. Your voice made me fall in love with you, since I was a teenager. Your songs made me feel alive. Your love expressed in your music. Today is a sad day for all of us. You moved us, even thousands of miles away from your home. Today we grieved with your family and friends. You will live in us...every time we hear your voice. Things will never be the same.....you left the room and we are now fading like a flower, spending our time ..... Thank you Marie. I love 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.

More than 30 years ago, I heard you for the first time. I became your fan when I was living in Lima, Peru and I always wanted to see you in concert. I had that opportunity, for the first and last time, a few years ago in Toronto. I can say that I saw you live and I'm happy. I still sing your songs and I will forever. R.I.P. Marie. The World will miss you! ?
Roxete musa da música, fez parte da minha vida da minha juventude e até hoje.
I didn't expect the flood of emotion that hit me today. My childhood abd teenage years passed in the rhythm of some awesome songs, and I still count some of yours among my favourites. Thank you for the music and for sharing your incredible voice, Marie. Condolences to your family and friends.
Thank you for the music,you have touched my life in so many ways,when I was young I tried to copy your look,your music helped heal ,bring joy,and made me happy,thank you.

Als kleines Mädchen habe ich in meinem Zimmer gesungen und so getan als wäre ich Marie. Du warst mein Idol. Bist es noch.
Du warst meine Königin und wirst es immer bleiben. Deine wundervolle Stimme wird mich bis an mein Lebensende begleiten . Sie hat mich oft tief berührt. . Danke für so viele wunderbare Songs. Was habe ich diese Songs gehört als ich Liebeskummer hatte. So oft und rauf und runter. Oder einfach zu Hause laut aufgedreht und durch die Wohnung tanzen.
Ich bewundere deine Stärke. Du hast großartiges vollbracht in deinem Leben. Ich ziehe den Hut und verneige mich vor dir meine Königin. Danke für alles. Ich werde so oft an dich denken. Bin in tiefer Trauer.Schade das ich dich nie getroffen habe. Vielleicht irgendwann einmal hinterm Regenbogen. Mach’s gut Marie.
Mein aufrichtiges Beileid der Familie
I took my 8 year old daughter to see Roxette in Brisbane Australia in 2015. It was on my bucket list and I am so glad I did. You could see then Marie had been through a hard time but she was still amazing. RIP beautiful lady you brought so much joy to many people.
Very saddened for Marie's passing. I decided to learn ?? the first time I listened "It Must Have Been Love" watching "Pretty Woman" when I was just 9. 30 years gone and I never had (and from now on I never will) an opportunity to tell her about their (Per had a share on it too) massive influence on my live...
Rest In Peace DEAR TEACHER!!!
Love From ??!
Linda voz e muito talento. Descanse em paz
Muchas gracias por darnos tu voz y tus canciones por tantos años, sin dudar tu pérdida es irremplazable, gracias por tu música, disfruta tu "JOYRIDE" algún día estaré en el.
Today is my birthday. And the sadness take apart for me today. All my thoughts was be in Marie and her family in this Day. Your voice always will be in my mind. Rest in peace, and thanks for share your voice of angel with us.
Dear Marie, you were responsible for the best days in my adolescence through your voice and songs. Thank you for your music! May you rest in peace! We will miss you a lot!
Fez parte da minha adolescência, não precisa saber inglês para ouvir suas músicas, ouvíamos com o coração. Vai ficar eternizada em nossa memória. Uma perda sem precedentes para toda uma geração. Vai deixar saudades. S2.
Marie, tu fuiste muy especial en mi vida, mi juventud y todas las horas en soledad que he tenido a tu lado, con tu voz he tenido una amiga que me ha entendido cada sentir, me has acompañado siempre sin saberlo, eres mi inspiración y poesía, eres magnífica en tu alma, se que ahora tu espíritu me ve llorar por ti, porque si fuiste y serás importante en mi aprendizaje aquí, un ángel como tu... Descansa en paz mi Marie...
Fading like a flower....Thank you for your voice, your music, which illuminated many moments of wonderful years.
Marie siempre vivirá por medio de sus canciones, su voz me a acompañado a diario y lo seguirá haciendo, ella jamás será olvidada es una mujer que dejó huella y una fuerte influencia de empoderamiento y creatividad.
Tendré siempre en mi mente la imagen de esa bella mujer de cabello corto, sencilla, algunas veces cantando descalza♥️
Dear Marie,
My heart is broken beyond repair. I started to listen to Roxette as a teenager, and your privileged, amazing and soulful voice has marked my life since then. You will be missed, sweet angel. May your memory be a blessing. My sincere condolences to your family, Per Gessle, your friends, and each one who loves you. I wish I had had the chance to have shaken your hand. Much love from Mexico.
The moment I first heard the name Roxette was when I was 12 years old attending my disliked handicraft class at school. One of my class mates was mentioning 'The look. I was intrigued and later on recorded 'Dressed for success' from the radio to my mix tape. With my best friend we would listen to those tapes over and over and over, not knowing then what life would hold in store for us. When 'Listen to your heart' came out I was mesmerized. To this day it is still one of my most favourite songs ever. Your music has helped me through heartaches, joy, happiness and loss. Even when I moved country and later continent my CD collection and Roxette was always with me. The innocence of our youth is long gone but the memory of you and your music will go on forever.
Today I woke up with this new. I felt Sad, Shocked, Broken! All I and we can say is THANKS FOR ALL THESE YEARS OF GREAT, UNIQUE AND EXCELLENT MUSIC !! Marie, she is (still present for many long time) wonderful proof that nothing matters when something happens to you if you are strong enough, faithful enough you can handle it and start all over since 0 to be who you really are, to be who you really want to be !! Marie Fredriksson a songwriter, a genius, an artist, a loved woman and a wonderful human, today the world lost an ICON, today the world is sad, she was a living proof of an stronger woman she had everything then a brain tumor break her down, a surgery make her lost was she was, she recovered and she show us that when you want to be someone fight for it and live for it! #MarieFredriksson Rest In Peace, #PerGessle and #Family today the world is suffering with you. Marie Fredriksson you leave your soul in every lyric you sang, play and wrote, you leave us with hits, anthems and show us what real music is made off. Love You! Forever Your Fan ?
