From La Paz - Bolivia, I’ve been listening to Roxette since I was 9 years old. Marie’s angelical voice what was truly happiness really means. Her voice and Roxette music was my company during my entire life. Thanks Marie for decades of beautiful music and and angelical voice. I will never forget you.
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.

Mi marido y yo lamentamos mucho la partida de Marie. Nos conocimos hace 27 años escuchando su música. Fue una gran cantante y nos encanta su música y la seguimos es hasta ahora.
Enviamos nuestras condolencias a toda su familia.
Besitos al cielo querida Marie eres y serás por siempre nuestra mejor cantante. ♥️
I was stunned by her passing. My heart go out to her family, friends, and fans across the world, of which I am one. I own most of the Roxette library and she has a beautiful voice that brought me enjoyment most of my life. One of my biggest regrets is not having had the opportunity to see her live in concert. May she Rest In Peace.
I knew Roxette songs in 1991, and from that moment it was a marvelous journey. My brother and i always likes their music. It was in 1992 when we saw Roxette live for the first time, at Estadio Centenario, Montevideo gig of the Join the joyride tour. We had 13 and 11 years old.
In 1994 we established the "time to rox" fanclub in our city, which allowed us to know lot of great friends, who are still our friends, 25 years later.
All toghether, a number of 12 friends, know Marie and Per in person, in the meet and greet of Montevideo's Charm School show in 2011.
And that is Roxette, that is Marie for us: friendship, good memories, good lessons about life.
Marie: i'll miss you so much. Thanks for being in our lives through your outstanding music.
From Portugal with lots of love. Always and always. Marie.
Roxette is part of my life since I was a child. Marie, with your amazing voice, marked generations all over the world. Now, we are crying with the death of a true legend. Rest in Peace, Marie. We love you forever! My condolences to her family, friends and fans.
Marie Frederikson byla a bude moje srdcová záležitost.Odpočívej v pokoji
Roxette were part of my youth that inspired me to become a musician. Your passing has left a hole in the world.
I saw the news last night and I sat on the couch and shed a tear. I was absolutely shattered to hear of the passing of Marie Fredriksson. My childhood favourite band and still a favourite band to this day.
I remember begging my dad to take me to Roxette’s 1995 concert in Melbourne when I was 10yrs old and didn’t get to go. I had to wait nearly 17yrs for you to return to Melbourne, Australia where I got to see you perform twice! One of the best concerts I’ve ever been too and so privileged to have seen you perform even when you were so frail. Thank you for providing so many happy memories. You and your music will live on forever.
RIP Marie Fredriksson
Years and years listening your voice.
You will always be number 1.
Your smile, your kindness, your voice ...
You are eternal....
Thank you Marie...
I met Roxette as a child by my parents who were always fans. So I can say that Marie's voice accompanies my whole life! It's an honor to be a fan of the band, to be a fan of her! And it's a blessing to have many good times with her! May God receive it and bless the family! Thanks for everything! Joyride never ends!
Solo decir que la musica y la voz hemosa de Mary la seguiré escuchando como hace mas de 20 años, las canciones en español acompañaron mi primer embarazo y las disfrute mucho y las seguire escuchando... besos al cielo bella??♥️?
The 1st rock band I ever followed. Great memories of your South African tour in 1995.
RIP, you will forever live on in the music you left behind!
Beautiful Marie, you brought such joy to my life since I was a kid. It was my life long dream to meet you one day and to see you sing live. Today was a hard hit for all fans, I'm just devastated. Much love to your family and friends. Hugs from Canada.
So sorry to hear of your passing, your music was a big part of my 90s.
RIP.
For Marie Fredriksson R. I. P.
Songs for the Broken Hearted
All those nights
By the silver moon
Dreaming of love
For all the flowers to bloom
Slowly drifting away
To sleep through the pain
Of knowing deep inside
Every day is the same.
I hear your song
3 minutes or more
Turn on the lights
And open the door
It would take my hand
You would bring me hope
Heal my heart
And fix what was broke
By the morning
The very next day
April clouds are so far away
Your voice recalls heartache long gone
As you say there is someone, someone there for everyone
A heart for a heart
And a journey to find
That starts with all that you've left behind
I'll remember you always
How could I really forget
Your comforting voice
When I was so upset
Songs for the broken hearted
Played on and on
Because even the broken hearted
Can find the one...
Thank-you for everything you meant to me, I'll never forget you. ❤️
I grew up listening to Roxette, Pretty Woman is my favourite film, so It Must Have Been Love is my favourite, still play their music whilst doing housework or driving in my car, Your songs will live on in my home as they will in many others I'm sure. There is another bright shining star in the skies tonight, love to your family at this sad time
R.i.p. sweet angel ❤
No me lo puedo creer. Eras mi artista favorita, adolescencia vivida con tu voz, tus canciones. Primeras que he traducido de ingles a polaco y he aprendido todas para poder disfrtutarlas contigo. Muchas gracias en mi corazón y memoria estaras para siempre, descansa en paz Marie 🙁
