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.

It was the early 90’s. I was 11 years old and this absolutely amazing looking woman appeared on the tv singing one of the catchiest songs I’d heard so far in my young life. Since that moment I became a Roxette fan. The songs have defined some of my best and worst moments in my life and I’m extremely sad that there will be no more to define new moments in my life. Marie was a beautiful person inside and out but I’ll forever remember that moment that I saw her on tv for the first time. I was lucky to see them live. I thought it would never happen but the stars aligned. I’m grateful that they did, I’ll remember that concert forever. Rest in peace Marie, you’ll be forever missed.

Marie was a great musical influence of mine and not only. Because of Roxette, I started listening to European/Scandinavian pop/rock bands and also female fronted bands. She and Roxette have put Sweden on my musical map. Even though over the years I’ve moved on musically, Marie’s style and voice influenced my future musical choices and preferences. While visiting Stockholm a few years back, I had “Fading Like A Flower” Song in my head, while I was wondering through the city’s streets. I have visited Stockholm’s Stadshuset, again with this song in my mind. Apart from hers and Per’s music, Marie was always an inspiration as a human being. Overcoming her illness and not only that, but going on and producing more albums, solo and with Roxette and embarking on a world tour! That lady had some strength in her, beaming like a true beacon and a star! Thank you for everything Marie! Rest In Peace. Things will never be the same! Love. Christos

I was devastated after hearing the news that Marie had passed... I remember listening to Roxette for the first time on American Top 40 back in 1989, and I fell in love with their sound, Per's incredible lyrics and Marie's fantastic vocals. Through the years I've collected all their CDs, LPs and singles. I also love Marie's solo albums, even though I don't speak any Swedish. I remember a couple of years ago when I travelled to Sweden I had to visit the gold room where they filmed the fantastic video for "Fading Like A Flower." But maybe the greatest memory I have of Roxette's music was when I listened to it with my grandma, who has also passed, and who also loved Marie's voice (she thought her name was Roxette, but that was ok). Rest in peace dear Marie... we'll always love your amazing voice and your legacy and Per's will live on forever.

Roxette where my favourite No 1 band when I was a teenager, I bought all the music and still remember the concert with the big red hearts like it was yesterday and and still is the best concert I have ever seen in my life. Marie was so special and the music will live on. When I hear milk and toast and honey again my tears will flow.

Today has been a very sad day... A new star shines in the sky. I have grown with your voice, your music, your songs... Thanks for everything. Rest in peace, Marie. As Per sais, things will never be the same.

Roxette has accompanied me through the most beautiful and difficult times of my childhood and youth. On the way to grow up and even with the pregnancy of my daughter. Your voice and your music will be in my heart forever. It means so much to me. I hope Marie is fine where she is now ... without pain and without illness. My deepest sympathy to her family.
