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.

Micke, Josefin, Oskar: words can't express my sadness for you today. You lost a true warrior, a woman who made the lives of millions just a little brighter by sharing her incomparable talent. Now we will have to find out what the world looks like without Marie in it. But of all the times to be alive, I’m grateful for the 30 years I - in some very real way - got to spend with her. I can’t imagine life without the music Marie brought us, but that’s something we’ll never have to know: her voice will live on in her amazing body of work and she will never be forgotten because Marie is truly unforgettable.
RIP Marie. I have loved your songs for 30 years and have helped me through so many situation. Your voice was one of a kind. I remember seeing you in London and you still had stage presence despite your illness. May God watch over you and take care of you. X
Sad sad day throughout my early teenage years roxettes music was always a big factor in taking me through the rough and the smooth. I saw them twice in concert memories to last forever gone but never forgotten xxx
I fell head over heels in love with Roxette’s music since I first heard them as a kid. I followed their career pretty much since then. Marie’s voice was unlike anything I had heard, she had an ability to sing with so much passion and pain. I’ve listened to practically everything she’s done, and her voice and music has been with me through the best and worst parts of my life. I am still in shock, but she will be missed. Condolences to her family and friends. Her lyrics and music will live on forever.
My sister won the VHS tape ‘Roxette the Videos’, I watched it countless times but was hooked after the first time. My first concert was Roxette in Edinburgh some 25 years ago, I still have the ticket, framed, it was the perfect day. I grew up listening to your music, it helped me through tough times and still does today. I have every album, know every song. Your voice moved me, so beautiful, so strong and powerful, simply put, the voice of an angel. You were a true inspiration, a wonderful person. I’m truly devastated at your passing; thank you for the amazing joyride you took us on. Your music and memory will live on forever. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and loved ones, RIP lovely Marie x
Det är med stor sorg jag skriver detta, nästan det värsta tänkbara jag kan skriva: ett avsked till dig.
Mitt livs soundtrack, den som alltid funnits här genom livets eld och lågor. Sedan jag fick reda på din bortgång tror jag även att en del av mig har gått sin väg. Jag har absolut inte tagit in allt än och jag tror att det kan ta en tid att förstå och acceptera. När jag var endast tio år gammal drabbades jag för första gången av psykisk ohälsa, under så många år var du min enda livsglädje, anledningen till att jag fortsatte med mitt liv. Tack för allt verkligen. Jag älskar dig så otroligt mycket, sov nu så gott vårt älskade sparvöga. All kärlek går till hela familjen.
Marie and Per were the heroes of my youth. Joyride, Tourism, Room Service - the soundtracks of my life. I am glad I saw you performing live in 2001 in Hanover. I will never forget. Rest in peace, Marie.
You will live forever through your music. You have created and sang so many beautiful songs, and I will be forever grateful for the joy you have brought to my childhood years. RIP. Fernanda Felicia
Love your music your voice. Big fan for years. Enjoyd your consert in Trondheim few years ago. So sad your canser didnt show mercy. Rest in peace ❤❤❤
It was a honor to have met Marie back in 1991 joyride world tour even to this day I still can't believe I got to met her and getting her autograph.
Thank you for your beautiful music an voice
RIP Marie
I saw Fading like a flower on tv when I was a young teenager. After that it was Roxette everywhere. Throughout the years the idolizing teenager became a grown-up, but on though days playing and listening Roxette takes me home! And then my husband gave me the biggest surprise, Night of the Proms in Amsterdam, we were going! I was back being a 13 year old teenager! Marie and Per have touched so many hearts and souls and I am one teeny tiny soul who's heart is saddened today. But for all the closed-ones in Marie's live who personally knew her I wish you strength and love! She will be missed but never forgotten!
Marie your music and incredible talent made my childhood memories of real music and educated me what real proper music is.
Finally saw you in concert in 2015 and the way you performed was absolutely amazing.
Right up there with best performances wise and to have overcome the tragic setbacks over the years is quite frankly breathtaking and a lesson to all, never give up on life.
Marie and your band roxette will live on in our memories for years ahead.
Roxette's music was the music of my teens. I was always fascinated and in awe of how an amazing singer you are and often wondered if I could be a singer. Karaoke nights were always filled with your songs. Young and old sang them because they were that wonderful.
I did become a singer perhaps not as good or famous as you but I lived many years of my life singing and breathing music.
Thank you for your magic, Marie.
I got my first MC of Roxette from my father before "the Velvet revolution" in 1989 here in the Czech Republic and since that time Roxette and Marie were a part of my life and heart. It is strange that my father has passed away 3 months ago and today, another part of my heart has passed away with Marie. I pray for you both and hoping to have "good" times there!
You were always so special to me.... you'll never have known it but you helped me through some tough times.
I came to see you perform twice, the first time in the middle of my troubles and the second time when i was happy and healing.... and both concerts were amazing.
You will live on in my heart and the hearts of all your many fans.
Love to your family and friends, they were lucky to have you in their lives.
Marie, thank you. You were the most wonderful woman that I ever know. I hope that God may give you peace that you deserve... Love you very much.
Muy triste noticia desde hoy a la mañana que no paro de llorar mi artista y cantante favorita una gran persona todavía no lo creo por dios! Que en paz descanse luchaste hasta el final marie .
Marie...where should I start? I have loved your voice since I first heard it. I remember your first albume and it was the start of a huge respect.
And today my tears are falling, my body hurts, but most of all my thoughts goes to your husband and kids.
Thanks for all lovely songs and performances, thanks for everything you have given to all us fans all over the world - Flyg lilla sparvöga ❤❤❤
Eu deveria ter uns 12 anos quando ouvi as primeiras músicas da Roxette. Na casa de uma amiga na cidade grande, pois eu morava no interior. Pedi uma cópia da fita cassete. Nunca mais parei de ouvir. As músicas me acompanharam por toda a vida, tenho um cd no meu carro. Ouço sempre. Só me trazem boas lembranças, daquelas que não voltam mais. Em 2012 assisti o show aqui no Brasil. Sonho realizado. Mas como disse Per Gessle, a vida nunca mais será a mesma. Não mesmo. Descanse em paz Marie.
