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.

Músicas de minha adolescência , hoje o mundo fica mais triste!
Hoje só nos resta saudade!
Thank you for "spending my time" with all those great songs.
Rest in peace,
Počivaj u miru
Every chapter of my life is every song on each record. Narrated by Marie's sweet voice accompained by Perl's chorus.
She is now in a very sweet world with no pain and surrounded by good memories.
XOXO
You are one of the first few bands that I credited for the inspiration for my interest in English. With your wonderful voice, I can listen to your songs thousands times without boring. I am lucky enough to witness your powerful live performance twice, in Thailand and your last show in London. With the later one, you had shone your spirit on every single square of the stage. Despite of sitting nearly throughout the show, but you were still able ti rock the whole O2 and everyone's heart. Thank you Marie, today you are 'so far away' and 'things will never be the same' but your voice will forever be remembered. 'it must have been love' that bring you to the world.
With love
Marie, words cannot describe the void I feel. A fan since I was in my early teens, I met you as Roxette, as the group who brought me amazing songs. I met you with Joyride and have sang out loud venting my heart. A fighter and survivor to cancer III, I salute yoy as a true warrior. I only saw you live twice, but I still feel how in the concert of Mexico City you were amazing and in control of your beautiful voice. A womderful warrior, a singer with a unique voice, your songs will go on forever. Thank you for letting me know you from afar. My condolences to your family, Per and friends. Sing to the angels darling. They must be so happy with you now. Thanks fornexisting in this life.

Marie Fredriksson was big, with or without Roxette. Like any 1990s teenager with access to radio and / or MTV, I first heard Marie with Roxette, that played to exhaustion in the first half of that decade in Brazilian radio and TV. Thanks to Marie, along with Per Gessle, I got to meet a lot of the dearest people I know, I got to learn English (and even a tiny bit of Swedish), how to play guitar, I had company in my moments of pain, especially in my teens and ended up having more than admiration in them. I have gratitude. The world is saying goodbye to one of the greatest a artists of our time. I can say I am saying goodbye to a dear friend, with whom I have shared many, many moments of my life. ❤️ My love to all her family.
Fina sångfågeln. <3 Jag fick en klump i magen när jag läste nyheterna om att du inte längre finns hos oss och tårarna rann.
Till anhöriga vill jag säga att jag djupt beklagar förlusten och att jag tänker på er.
Jag har ett starkt minne från mellanstadiet (början på 90-talet) då vår lärare, som kände Marie, ordnade så att vi elever fick en hälsning från henne, vilken läraren sedan kopierade upp till oss. Det var stort, mycket stort och jag var så väldans stolt över hälsningen. 🙂
Vila i frid, Marie. <3 Tack för musiken och alla fina stunder den givit.
What can I say? Back in 1999 I was listening to a CD a friend brought to a party. I recognize the first song, the second, the third....suddenly I noticed that I knew all the musics in that CD. My surprise when I get the cover and noticed all that music I liked was from one band was huge and good. It don’t take long to buy all Roxette material, to study to know who was that duo with names I can barely spell. Little time ago I had became a huge fan. I started to listen to Marie and Per solo music, I started to learn Swedish to know what they was saying in those musics...and I save this moments in my life as the best ones. Marie voice became so close to me that’s like a voice of a familiar. She became so close that’s today I know I’ve lost someone that was by my side a long long time. And I also know that Thing will never, never be the same again.
Once in a show here in Brazil I pointed to her and sing a phrase “When I”ll ever see you again”. She pointed to me, smiled and waved back. Was a fast moment, but i’ll remember this time for my entire life.
Marie, rest well. You’ve made your part here. You deserve the peace and all the love in the world.
To Mikael, Oskar and Josefine, you had one of the most blessed person by your side. God bless you all. This moment of pain will pass and from now on will be only the best memories and good moments you all passed together that will count.
With love
