Very sad news that Marie has died. Roxette were the backdrop to my teenage years. I travelled with a friend to Milan to see you live....my favourite concert to date. Beautiful music which touches my heart every time I listen. RIP Marie x
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.

I have always been an unconditional fan of the band Roxette. I had all the albums and I followed all the releases. I thank Marie for rocking my youth with her sweet yet vibrant voice. Romantic ballads have been trails of many around the world. Neither Julia Roberta resisted. Your fight against cancer has further increased my admiration. It is for us eternal talent and a huge life lesson. Rest in peace, warrior. Condolences to your family members.
Thank you for your songs. I loved them all. I still sing them at the top of my lungs while driving in my car! Beautiful Lady!
Muchas gracias por tu voz y tu trabajo, por tu lucha y tu esfuerzo. Hiciste de mis penas, alegrías y llenaste con tu arte el vacío que a veces nos deja la vida.
No me gustan las despedidas ni decir “Adiós”, diré “Hasta luego” Marie.
Descansa en paz guerrera, te lo mereces.
P.D. Mi más sentido pésame a sus familiares y amigos.
Although Marie is no longer physically among us, she will still be present while we hear her voice in one of her wonderful songs, from wherever you are, thank you Marie, thanks to you and Roxette, I learned to value good music. A hug to Marie's family and friends.
I was a huge fan of Roxette and their music. I couldn't even count the times I was at home or in the shower or doing anything else while singing along to their songs. Marie was a beautiful woman and even more beautiful soul. She was a tiger, a fighter. Never giving up and still spreading joy to people around the world. She is connected to their memories and experiences in life. I'm glad to have lived at the same time as she was. I was born on 30th May too so I always liked to say we were connected even though she of course didn't know. She will be missed always and forgotten never. Safe trip to the music heaven, Marie.
Growing up as a young girl with a deep voice, listening to Roxette songs & hearing Marie's beautiful voice made me fall inlove with my own voice too.. I remember we'd call her Roxette not knowing Roxette was infact the band name. To me she was and will always be a fearless rockstar... Rest In Peace beautiful angel... The joy ride lives on❤❤❤
I am too sad, to write in swedish...
Your album "Den ständiga Resan" is one of my favourite albums ever. It has so much nordish soul in it and it carried me through my hardest time. For that I will allways love you and your voice.
Deep in my heart I know, that God has now a new angel in his heavenly choir...and your voice will be heard forever
Thank you Marie...
sending love to your family, freinds and beloved one
Marie, thank you for making such great music. You were the soundtrack on my teenage years, your songs were uplifting, and you taught me more English than many of my teachers. Hope you rest in peace. You will always be remembered xxx
Your voice was my life OST. Listening your music will be the best way to keep you un our hearts, here, next to us.
I was only 3/4 when I first heard my first Roxette song "dressed for Success". I fell in love with Marie and Per and Roxette straight off. Marie got me through so much, from child abuse to rape when I was a young child, her beautiful voice and songs gave me the will to keep living. I saw Marie and Per as the parents I never had, guiding me with their music. I feel nothing but heartbreak and sadness that She is now gone. She is was so beautiful, so full of life, like a kalidescope of colour. Her eyes would smile with her mouth. She was so ethereal and full of magic. Life will not be so colourful anymore with her not in it. I am grateful she will never have to feel pain and struggle again. She fought like a warrior for so long. May you be surrounded in peace love and healing Marie. Forever In your Debt.

First time i ever listened to her was listening to the song It must have been love as i was watching the movie Pretty women 1989 in Baghdad Iraq ,oh and i knew immediately there is some special going on and i was like who is this .
As many of us here I grew up with the songs of Roxette and I really can't believe that Marie is gone. This is a very sad day. Marie will be forever in our hearts and through her music she's unforgettable. What an amazing beautiful and strong woman. ❤️❤️❤️
I send love and prayers to Per and Marie's family. I know you you feel.
I'm 31 years old and Roxette has been part of my life since I can remember. Her voice always made me feel better whenever I was sad. My thoughts and prayers for all of you, her family and friends. She'll never be FORGOTTEN! ❤️
Roxette, The soundtrack to my teenage years and ongoing life. Never got bored of your music.
Just wonderful songs time after time. Irreplaceable memories, irreplaceable music, irreplaceable people.
Thank you for your music. It’s so good.
With Love
One more of my favorite stars that leaves us 🙁 ! Rest in peace! Condolences to the whole family!

Ty for the amazing gift of music...
Hi very sad to hear this news today.marie and roxette was a big part of my life growing up .I have a CD in my car all the time.rip Marie your music will live on.
I'm gay, and I was a gay little kid when I first saw you on the cover of the Joyride album, and a year later in person on the Join the Joyride world tour, but I had such a crush on you. You were so funny and earthy and spunky and smart and warm and challenging, I may have been a little bit in love with you. Your voice soundtracked the highs and lows of my life for the past 30 years, you're a credit to your country and I'll miss you, miss you so much xx
