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.

Desde que tengo 6 años he venido escuchando su música que me cautivo y emamoro.
Un legado que me han dejado mis 2 hermanas mayores que aprecio mucho.
Descubri el significado que se le dan a las cancion gracias a Roxette.
Aprendi ingles bajando las letraa de sus canciones.
Llore con muchas canciones que me identificaron y tambien senti alegria por muchas
Otras canciones.
Recorri el mundo trabajando a bordo de un crucero, y de la argentina conoci una chica
Que tambien es fan de Roxette.
Entonces puedo decir que tambien fueron parte de aquella travesia conmigo al rededor del mundo.
Tu voz jamas se apagara, porque vaya donde vaya, los siempre en mis play list favoritos de spotify y youtube music.
Gracias por tu linda voz, y por sus bellas canciones.
Descanza en paz.
Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle.
Roxette por siempre

I grew up listening to Roxette and especially when I was ice skating on a Saturday night, when the dj would play, I would grab a girl for the couples skate. So many good memories to the music of Roxette and to the unique and great voice of Marie. RIP and enjoy the Joy Ride!

I was heartbroken to learn of Marie's passing. One of my first icons; when I was 7 years old, I was gifted Roxette's Joyride. Marie will always be my pop goddess, and I am so glad she chose to share her voice with the world, because it is such a beautiful one.
When I learned of her passing, a Roxette song popped on the radio, and I was able to smile in a moment where I was about to cry. She was a beautiful spirit. I am so sorry for the families loss. Hugs, and love. And rest well, Marie. x

Thanks Marie Fredriksson. The feeling that predominates in me is relief. I know you fought like a warrior and this was not a fair battle. Marie is my example of a person, of being human. I only read beautiful words and words about you. Of the people who met you. More pride I feel among so much deep sadness. Beautiful that people talk about your simplicity as a human being. That was you, you had the humility of the greatest. I strongly know that we will meet on the other side or in another life. The mark you leave on my soul is eternal. It transcends this time and space.
I fell asleep and when I woke up for a moment I thought it was everything a bad dream...
I'm pretty sure she is watching us and smiling now . And all of us we will meet again for sure. In other life. Other bodies. Other minds. But our souls will shiver in the same vibration to remember we are there again. My soul is urs completely
I hug Mikael, Josefin, Oscar and Möje deeply.

Tenía casi 5 años la primera vez que escuche a Roxette. Fue en 2011 que tuve el privilegio de escucharlos en vivo en el Luna Park en Buenos Aires. Doy gracias a Dios por ese recital es el mejor recuerdo que tengo. Fue realimente maravilloso. Debo decir q Marie me inspiro en muchos aspectos. Sus canciones me ayudaron en cada momento de mi vida, feliz o triste. Incluso llegue a cortarme el cabello como ella :).... su estilo es parte de mis outfits. Sencillamente gracias!! Gracias por todo Marie!!!!

Marie you were a shining light, with your amazing voice and songs. I was a huge Roxette fan from the beginning, my Look Sharp cassette was played on repeat so much it eventually wore out and was replaced by CD. I feel privileged that I got to see Roxette live 3 times in London over the years, on the Joyride tour and then 2 later tours. So many beautiful songs, you could always find a song for your mood. Your music will live on forever and I am listening to Listen to your Heart now, which was my favourite song. Thank you so much for the music, RIP. Love Justine xxx

Roxette was my very first concert as a teen. Her voice was so stunning and unique. From that day on I’ve always been a fan. It’s absolutely heartbreaking that she has been taken from us. Her voice had a way of making you feel her emotions, and evoking them in all of us. Truly a treasure lost. Sending love and peaceful thoughts to her family friends and all of the fans who like me, feel like the world is lesser for having lost such a beautiful talented soul.

Very sad to hear you lost the battle with cancer Marie after 17 years of fighting. I remember when you came to Auckland and I was so lucky to be given tickets in the press pit for being a huge fan and I dressed up in my stars and moons jackets and you pointed at me and smiled a huge smile. And I was a kid again. Thank you for your amazing voice that always gave me goosebumps. And the music that has always and will always be a big part of my life, even when you least expect it. Even now on my tour to Bolivia, as we arrived there after they asked us if we wanted to cancel because of riots and road closures, and we were going to have to fly to Lima, I decided to do my kinesthetic heart test and Listen to my heart, and we pressed on and the road opened up for us, and when we arrived in our hotel in La Paz the song that greeted us there was none other than Listen To Your Heart, and on the last day of the tour as we drove back to our hotel in Uyuni on the salt flats on our tour guide's Spotify mix what other song randomly played other than It Must Have Been Love as the last song we hear. You couldn't have engineered it better. Even the very story of how you became a hit and then how you battled a brain tumour with only 5 percent chance of surviving and then managed to live another 17 years and even do two or three world tours and come all the way to New Zealand for the fans shows the world the world how you can defy the impossible. Then the coup de grace after all these years to have a DNA test done recently and find out I'm 15 percent Scandinavian. And you're voice will be immortal and the words you sang... Never Is A Long Time, goodbye. No answers for the asking. Never is a Long time. Goodbye. Snow white angels go and cry in the stillness of the night. Never is a long time. Things Will Never Be The Same. Xxx #mariefredriksson #roxette #mamasbarn #pergessle #listentoyourheart #thingswillneverbethesame #neverisalongtime #therain #queenofrain
