Thank you for the happiness your music has given me over many years. All my love to your husband and children.
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.

Where to start? Marie has always had a great voice and ever since childhood, I have been a fan of her. it's so surreal that she's gone, though I've never had the pleasure of meeting her in person. I think of all the times I've listened to "spending my time" on the radio in the car, or the many times I've cried to "it must have been love" in the "Pretty Woman" movie. She was a beautiful woman who inspired many. May she Rest In Peace.. She’ll never be forgotten.
Love and best wishes to her family,
Patricia.
For most, "It must have been Love" is their favorite Roxette song, but I have more fondness for "Joyride", "How do you do", and this one "Vulnerable" which was during my formative years (i.e. no longer a kid, not yet a man). Farewell and Godspeed, Marie Fredriksson...?
A beautiful voice and a beautiful soul! RIP Marie! You will always live through your music! ?????
Your songs have always had a place in my heart...will be forever missed but not forgotten?
I am very heartbroken. I loved this band sooo much. While growing up. It got me through a lot of my childhood. The ups and downs. I was praying my heart out that she would beat this. I bought their greatest hits album couple months back and I have been listening everyday.. They have touched my heart and soul. Prayers to the family and am truly sorry for your loss. She was an Angel of God . He called her home. From a true hearted spirit to another. You will be greatly missed. ????????????❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Marie...thank you for being with me since the first time I heard Dangerous.You helped me going through difficult moments. Your songs, your voice relieved me in some many ways. I wish I had been to all your concerts here in Chile, but I just managed to go to one...my dream came true that day.The best concert I have ever been to.
You were a brilliant singer and I am sure your family will really miss you now.
I will miss you so much but your music will be with me till I die.
Now you must be singing in heaven. You were great and always will be?
Things will never be the same.. You were my favourite when I was a teenager, always listen to your songs.. they are brilliant and touched by the heart with great love and joy. Thank you for the great songs and with Per too for making the music come alive! Always listen to your lovely voice... To Maria's family...sorry for your loss.. she's one special woman.. she will be watching you all and sending her love down to each one of you. God bless. xxx

So shocked and sad to hear this news. Attended my first Roxette concert in 1995 in Edinburgh. Brilliant singer and great band. RIP Marie ♥️
Growing up with you blasting in my car was the best! Your bare feet were like a hug, telling me it’s ok to do that! I’m grateful for the memories you helped me make. I’ll forever be playing my favourites.
Je t’ai découverte à l’été 1988 avec la chanson « The look ». Cet album, je l’ai dans le ❤️ Ainsi que Joyride. Tu as toujours été magnifique avec ce look qu’on voulaient toutes avoir. Ta voix était unique. Repose toi maintenant, tu l’as bien mérité. Une ⭐️ s’est envolée. De la haut, tu continueras de briller...mais tu vas nous manquer. Love you Marie
Gracias Marie por tu música!!! Cante a todo pulmón contigo cada canción! Viví con tu música momentos muy importantes de mi vida adolescente y hace poco tuve la felicidad de compartirla con mis hijos de 5 y 2 años! Bailamos juntos y les fascino!! Gracias gracias! Seguirás viva con tu música en mi vida! ✨???

the first time i heard and saw Roxette’s mtv “Listen yo your Heart”, I immediately fell in love with the group/ band and became an avid fan. Eversince then I bought their cds, always watched mtv hoping to see them. And then a chance to witness them in a concert materialized! it was way back 1987 or 1988 ( I think, sorry I forgot the actual date) in now defunct Folk Arts Theater in Manila. I was with my sister Regina then. She and I were over the moon seeing Roxette performing live! Marie’s voice was just awesome! Per Gessle and the rest of the band as well! and when she sang “Listen to your heart” with just playing the piano, our admiration for her even grew stronger. Rest in peace our Marie, you will definitely be missed, your voice and music will forever stay in our hearts...
Dear Marie, you were the brightest star in my sky and the deepest love in my heart! Your voice will always sound in my head! Your singing is connected with the best part of my life! Rest in peace and shine brightly above us!
I will never forget Roxette cassette being one of my favourite when I was younger. Each time I listen to the music, it brings back memories of playing the cassette in my dad's car. Your songs created lots of memories. RIP Marie.
