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.

Thank you Marie - for the music, for the smiles, for gracing our screens with your beauty and your presence. I have so many favourite Roxette songs - my life has played out to most of them. Using the words you sang ‘Things will never be the same’. Rest in peace and know that your legacy lives on in the true spirit of music. ❤️

Hoy es un dia triste para mi , una de las voces mas lindas nos a dejado , mi juventud fue alegre escuchando a Roxette , la belleza , simpatia y personalidad angelical nos a dejado , sus bellas canciones seguiran sonando para el agrado de todos a los que nos gusta la buena musica , viviras por siempre en el corazon y seras los mejores recuerdos de juventud que pueda tener , descansa por siempre mi bella Marie .

when I was like, 3 or 4 years old, you where literally the first singer that I listened on the radio, literally the first music band in my life, I will never forget you, I remember the first time you came to Argentina, you said that the best you ate here was empanadas with aceitunas. You will always be a part of my life and early memories as a child and a grown person now. Love to your family and friends.

I'm a child of the 90's and so I was a big fan since the beginning of the band career. Per and Marie are great people with fantastic voices. Marie, thanks for great songs like Dangerous, Fading like a flower or It must have been love! I will never forget you. RIP

Among the bands I grew up with, Roxette represented that band whose songs I loved to listen to all the time. The songs talked about things I could related to.
I thank Per and Maria for the music they shared with us and may Maria Rest In Peace. Tack så mycket.

Marie... Your voice is as comforting and familiar to me as my parents' and closest friends'. Your songs have been my best friend for almost 30 years, helping me through the roughest times, and celebrating the best. I will always remember you blowing a kiss to me in Vancouver, the memory still brings me joy. Thank you for everything. It won't be the same without you, but you will forever be in my heart and my memories. ❤❤❤

I listened to my first snippet of Roxette's music more than 30 years ago. I was a little boy then and I had no relation to or no understanding for music at this time at all. But the extraordinary synthie-pop-rock music and harmonies written by Per combined with the outstanding voice transporting so much strength and feeling of Marie blew me away immediately. Something clicked. I realized what it was, of course, many years later. From my early days on I listened to Roxette's, Marie's and Per's solo albums almost every day and, thererfore, their music had a huge impact on my life. This music accompanied so many important situations and events of my life that this music, as well as Marie and Per themselves became a large part of it. Probably Marie and Per are aware of the impact they had/have/will have on their fans' lives, at least to some extent. But I'm sure they can't perceive it entirely. I owe them a lot! They shaped me in an extent I can't even perceive entirely.
I know it's not much: But I want to say: Thank you! From the bottom of my heart: Thank you!
I really hope that Marie's family and friends, acquaintances, companions and fans find relief and peace as time goes by by knowing what she ment to so many people all over the world.

Marie:
Es triste saber que has partido. Solo queda agradecerte por todas esas maravillosas interpretaciones que tuvimos el privilegio de escuchar. Tu voz seguirá acompañándome cuando escuche tus canciones y te recordaré con mucho cariño y admiración. Una cantante única e inigualable. Gracias por tu música, eternamente. Roxette, simply the best. Descansa en paz, Marie.
