Marie was a wonderful and lovely enrichment. She touched my heart with her music. Roxette was my very first concert, which I was allowed to experience. At "The Look" I got to know my first great love. I'm so sad that Marie left so young. Your music will continue to play in my heart. Forever in Love.
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.

Dearest Marie,
You're gone but never forgotten. The music left behind serves a s a beautiful memory for us and the future to know who you truly were. Thank you for making my childhood a beautiful one and may you rest in eternal peace.
I first saw Roxette at Wembley Arena and then was given tickets to see them again in Manchester. Thank you Marie for those great memories and the emotions felt when listening to you sing. My condolences to your family and friends, you will be sadly missed. Sleep well x
Thank you for the music and the beautiful memories. You will be missed..but I will never forget you. Addio..
Such a sad loss, Marie was Roxette in my heart, I was introduced to Joyride while at college in the 90’s, the album became the soundtrack to my college years and from there I went on to buy every album and single released, my bedroom walls were covered in huge promotional posters and I remember my very first concert in Birmingham it was amazing.
Saddened by the loss of this beautiful lady so soon but Marie will live on with her wonderful musical legacy, RIP Marie, we miss you xx
Marie was simply wonderful, unique and amazingly talented. I love your voice that will be forever in my heart. My condolences to family and friends. May the Lord comfort your hearts. Marie now sings in the sky.

You helped me many times through my years to deal with break ups

ROXETTE my child hood band I remember recording on my VCR player when they're videos played on the television but Im heartbroken knowing she's gone n free from Cancer & walked into the gates of Heaven RIP Marie Fredriksson your spirit & music may live on forever & forever <3
My wife and I have always loved the music of Roxette that is centered by Marie's powerful and beautiful voice. We were sad to hear of her passing and our thoughts and prayers go out to her family.
Roxette inspired me to want to be a rock star, and when I was younger I recorded and sang a lot of their songs as covers. I had a bit of a following at the time because my voice was similar to Per's. I could only ever have dreamed to sing with someone like her... I never did. Marie inspired me in my writing too... using her as a model for a lead character in my first published novel about a rock and roll band.
She was my first rock and roll crush... she will be missed so very much.
Sempre fui fã incondicional da banda Roxette. Tinha todos os álbuns e acompanhei todos os lançamentos. Agradeço a Marie por ter embalado minha juventude com sua voz doce e, ao mesmo tempo, vibrante. As baladas românticas foram trilhas de muitos pelo mundo afora. Nem Julia Roberta resistiu. Sua luta contra o câncer aumentou ainda mais a minha admiração. Fica para nós o talento eternizado e uma enorme lição de vida. Descanse em paz, guerreira. Condolências a seus familiares.
My dream finally came true when you, Marie, came to Porto Alegre, south of Brazil to show us your magical voice and kindness. I was standing there, in front of you and dear Per, so I could sing, cry and smile so hard. Thank you so much for the music coming from your soul, and for so much love. I wish strength and peace for all the family, Mike, Oscar and Josefin.
Tus canciones significaron mucho tanto para mi como para mis padres. Ellos te pudieron conocer cuando Roxette llegó a Lima en 1995. Tus canciones han sonado y seguirán sonando como parte de la melodía de mi vida. Descansa en paz.
Thank you for all the years of great music. A very brave woman who fought all these years. You will be missed.
Recuerdo el primer recital en el estadio de ferrocarril oeste alla por 1992, Marie descansa en paz, un fan desde Buenos Aires Argentina
I am Randy 41 years old from Manila Philippines but working in Saudi Arabia now... I fell in love with Roxette when I was 14 that’s when I heard It Must Have Been Love and then two years later I was happy to learn that they will perform in Manila on a Valentine’s Day of 1995. I actually won the two tickets from a radio station and I could still remember the question that DJ asked me” what’s the name of the female singer of Roxette” and I said Marie Fredriksson and I won the two tix. The concert was the very first I saw and was really memorable to me. We went to venue at 4pm (show starts at 8pm) and we can hear Marie and Per rehearsing some of the songs because the venue is a small theater with walls closed halfway through only. When the show opened they surprised us with their Sleeping In May Car opening number... fell in love more when Marie played the piano and started singing It Must Have Been Love... and their closing song Go To Sleep made me fell in love deeper. Since then I’ve collected all their albums. And fell in love with songs that were not commercially released. I always played the songs on my iPod and sing Go To Sleep, Never Is A Long Time and many others. I even performed Dangerous during company Christmas Party. People who know me personally Woolf definitely agree and say that I’m a ROXETTEs biggest fan. I always tell this story to my friends how I fell in love with Marie and Per... why is it that Beautiful Things can’t just stay...
Buen viaje, Marie. Tu voz y la música de Roxette fueron parte de la banda sonora de mi adolescencia y de mi vida. Sus canciones me seguirán acompañando por siempre. Tuve la fortuna de verlos en vivo en Quito, Ecuador, uno de los mejores momentos de mi vida. Hasta siempre Marie, tu voz y tu talento siempre estarán en mi corazón.
