Thank you for the music Marie, you will be missed, but you will always have a place in my heart ❤️.
I fell in love with Roxette in the late 80s and still love them today.
I was fortunate enough to see them live in concert twice, 1st time was in Sydney for the Crash, Boom Bang tour and then one of their last performances which was A Day on the Green down in Victoria Australia.
I hope Roxette will stay in everybody’s lives for this generation and into the future.
My heart and love goes out to everyone who is hurting at this time and especially to Marie’s family.
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.

Gracias, Marie, por los momentos de felicidad que tuve al escuchar tus canciones. Gracias, nunca te olvidaré.
Descansa en paz. Formas te parte de mi juventud gracias a mi hermana. Cada canción me recuerda esos años que compartí con mi hermana. Gracias por tu valentía.
What a beautiful woman and inspiring lady, shu I always loved your music and in the 90's I just wanted to be like you, I used to dress like you, cut my hair like you, only listened to your music, I went to your show in jhb south Africa twice cause you were a young girls hero. Marie the world lost the best artist ever, your kids lost a wonderful mother, your husband lost a beautiful wife, but God picked the most beautiful rose to plant in Heavens garden, R.i.p my legend, you will never be forgotten.
Marie, I remember the day I first saw your video for "joyride". The tour bus door opened and then your boot hit the ground and then I saw you! Blond spiked hair and I was in love! Roxette became my ultimate favorite band ever! Even to this day. I saw Roxette in Seattle and after the show I got to meet you and I was a nervous wreck...but you were super nice and super friendly, we even got a picture together with our arms around each other. I'll never forget that night. Such a beautiful person, beautiful soul, beautiful smile, powerful voice and stage presence. I'll forever love Roxette and you in particular. The music world has truly lost someone special. My favorite Roxette song is "fading like a flower" May you sing loudly up there in Heaven for all to hear. For your time on Earth is done. We fans were the lucky ones to have had you for the time we did. Thank you Marie for making my life better through your songs. RIP.

the news that nobody wants to hear ... I grew up with his music, my favorite singer and group in my adolescence ... a great loss and a lot of sadness, kisses to the sky, a hug to his family
That Perfect Day was 8 Feb 1995 when Roxette had a concert in Singapore. I was a 17 year old super fan who had the privilege to meet Roxette backstage. Marie made me feel important and special during our short conversation. During the concert, Marie spotted me in the front row. She accepted my flower during Fading Like a Flower and later passed me her tambourine after another song (The Big L?) Oh gosh, I can't remember which song!! She waved at me 6 times that night! What an awesome artiste who made this fan feel so wonderful!
When Roxette came by to Singapore again on 6 March 2012, I was again in front row. But I wasn't allowed to meet them backstage this time. I threw a bouquet on the stage and Per picked it up to pass to Marie. She carried my bouquet backstage with her.
There are memories this super fan has that will last my lifetime.
Thank you Marie for your talent and love! I was so lucky to have experienced them and to have met you.
Thank you Marie for all the moments you gave me with your magical voice. Rest in peace and you will always be into my heart.

Tuve el placer de disfrutar de Roxette en el año 1992 cuando se presentó por primera vez en Santiago de Chile...Mi querida Marie tu voz quedará en el recuerdo y en el corazón de quienes por años te hemos seguido...te hemos admirado...Tu luz no se apaga hoy...Tu luz,desde ahora es eterna....
Thank you for the amazing musical memories. You have always been a constant in my life from teenage years to now in my 40s. I hope you are now resting in peace and that heaven has you singing with the angels.
Much love always
Mark
Your music and gentle singing touched the hearts and souls worldwide. It inspired and spread love. It made us believe in goodness and gave us the words to express what we had inside our singular notes as part of the grand music you delivered to us.
Thank you for being part of my life and make love, joy, broken heart, and hapiness feelings we will always sing and give a light meaning dealing with them.
My love and respects to the family as well as to the other fans like me.
RIP Marie, thank u for accompanying me during my teenage years. From manual recording on our local Radio 98.7 FM Say It With Music with Aloysius Tan, to Cassette Tape at Sembawang Bookshop, to CD at HMV, to Lime-wire and finally iTunes. I’m in my 40s’ now, and whenever I need to find back myself in this hectic life and the pressure of the society, I will play your music while driving and your songs are like a time machine, you brought me back to the days when I was young and care free.
Vila i frid Marie?
