Liebe Marie, Dein Tod war ein großer Schock für mich. Ich hatte auch Krebs und ich weiß, wie man sich während der Therapie fühlt und auch hinterher. Es nimmt einem so viel Kraft, so viel Energie, man schaut in den Spiegel und sieht nicht mehr sich selbst, man ist nur noch ein Schatten seiner selbst. Wir waren Krieger, hatten einen gemeinsamen Feind. Ich habe dich niemals kennengelernt ubd doch kämpften wir Seite an Seite. Was für mich bleibt ist deine einzigartige Stimme, die mich in meinem Leben so viele Jahre begleitet hat. Mein kleiner Sohn Steven ist 7 Jahre alt. Ich habe ihm von dir erzählt, er liebt deine Musik. Er sagt, wenn er deine Stimme hört, weiß er, dass es Gott wirklich gibt und er auf uns aufpasst. Ich übersende der Familie mein tiefes Beileid, aber auch viel Kraft.

My heart aches for the family, friends and other fans of Marie and Roxette especially her husband, children and Per from Roxette. I always admired the talent Marie possessed and shared with the world. I was never lucky enough to see her perform live as Roxette has not toured the United States for years... My dearest memory is from November 1989 when my grandfather died on Thanksgiving and the last time I spent time with him was 2 weeks prior and the last song I remember hearing while with my grandfather was Listen to Your Heart. I was 11 years old and that memory and her voice and the lyrics of that and other Roxette songs live fondly in my heart. Thank you for sharing Marie with me and the entire world. May you find peace and comfort in this sad time and always. Sincerely., Donnie

When I was at secundary school about 14 years old, Roxette became my favourite music group. Time goes by so quickly but I still listen to their music. Marie and Per were really special. They had a special conexion in the songs and concerts they shared together around the world. They were simply the best. I used to spend a long time alone since I was the least unpopular girl at secondary school and didnt have friends, so I felt accompanied by Roxette amazing songs. Last year I found a CD with their greatest hits in a shop and I bought immediately. I really feel sad with the news about Marie passed away after a long illness. She will be in our hearts forever. Her special voice, her beauty like an angel and her soul will shine forever. Rest in peace dear Marie. I support her family and friends, and Per Gessle in these diffiult moments. Love forever Marie. ROXETTE STILL MY FAVOURITE GROUP

Querida Marie,Contigo se va un pedazo de mi adolescencia ,recuerdo haber juntado nuestras propinas para llegar a los 25 dolares y poder tener acceso al 1er concierto de Roxette en mi pais en crisis pero que llego a ser un año glorioso 1995 gracias a ustedes.,en realidad te vi a 2 cuadras, y jure que algun dia los volveria a ver mas cerquita...luego volviste en el 2012 y el círculo se cerro ,te vimos en primera fila con mis amigas ,te escuchamos ,te coreamos y te volviste eterna para nosotros. Dios te tenga en su gloria . Eres eterna!

A part of my childhood died when I heard Marie passed away. With respect and love.

My dear Marie, i want to say thank you for more than 30 years of happiness, you were next to me almost my whole life, i grew up with you, i want you to know than Roxette is not just music for me it is a lifestyle and a feeling, you were next to me in bad times and good times, i was so lucky when i met you and when i had the opportunity to hug you and have a little talk, you are an inspiration for me as the woman you are, you will be in my heart forever, you are a very special person in my life, i love you from the bottom of my heart. See you forever.

A long, bitter struggle has ended. Rest in peace, Marie, you powerful woman from Sweden Thank you for the music, the songs you're singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing.❤️

Hello, first of all I want to say that Roxette's music was connected to my childhood, I have grown up with the voice of Marie and Per in my head, I am born in 1980 and I have heard for the first time Roxette' a music in the village of my father Zanesti, Neamt , the son of my godfather had the mix album of Joyride and I was listening in his garage, good sound, I was happy because of this music and I felt this music connected with me. From that moment Roxette had become a part of me. What I want to speak now is about Marie. I have heard about this sad news TUESDAY the 10th of December, I was at my job and my colleague Mihai Jachet a guitar player told me that Marie from Roxette had died, Suddenly I felt something like something from me has been lost. In the same day my brother that lives in Germany close to Leipzic called me to tell me about Marie, He told me that in 2016 he bought tickets for a concert of Roxette in Germany but the concert was cancelled due to the medical problems of Marie. In the evening of the same day my sister Ana Maria who lives in Bucharest called to tell me about the bad news. My sister and brother liked Roxette but I was the big Fan 🙂 I was Roxett-ist. From that Tuesday I have been thinking to Marie all the time, and I can't t believe what can make a disease. I have started to count her age, the year of her born, I knew she had a family, a husband, a daughter and a son. She could have been my mother..... My mother also a Maria who was born in 1955 had died in 2015 due to cancer, For me was a big lose, she had fight with the disease from 2010. I know how hard was for her to leave fighting with the hard treatments .... But Marie from Roxette had fight from 2002, 17 years and even if for a period of time she felt better ,this disease has finally stopped her beautiful future. I ' m so sorry, I would like her to be in life again for ever...and she will be forever in mind mind with her voice. Today I have listened the last album of Roxette Good Karma on YouTube and I have seen her again on MTV unplugged from 1993, I have A DVD at home with this concert, she was so beautiful 🙂 I have told to my son Mario that Mami ( my wife Roxana) looks like Marie. Very nice voice and a very nice presence. And I say again, I am so sorry.:(((( She had a very nice voice also in 2016 in Good Karma, I am in loved of her voice. Now I am thinking of her family, husband and children, I hope to pass easy through this sad moment, and I hope that up there in the skies/Havens Marie to be happy. Marie, you will be always in my mind like my mother too. Thanks for your voice and for your accomplishments.

I was 12 years old when I saw Roxette for the first time in Dortmund, Germany. My dad, a friend of his and I were standing maybe 3 meters in front of the left stage. I turned around to my father to ask something and he said look....I looked to the front and there she was, my idol MARIE. This moment was magic. Her music, her voice will never fade like a flower. You created a legacy. And I can even hear your voice singing without listening to your songs. Rest In Peace Marie, you deserve it. All the best wishes and prayers to your family and Per.

Mai n'he sabut gaire d'anglés, tot i que cada dia l'entenc i el parlo una mica més i millor. No obstant i així, aquest fet mai ha sigut un impediment per gaudir de la música, doncs la música que ens toca, ens torna mags. Mags capaços de tocar el cel uns instants, sigui el que sigui el cel. I s'ha de ser especial per crear aquesta magia. Poca gent i en pocs moments ho poden fer. Roxette, amb la Marie com a component més visible ho va fer per molts de nosaltres. Així, no puc més que agrair-vos aquests instants màgics que hem vareu donar. Gràcies per la vostra màgia. My english always had been a disaster, but every day is a little bit less. However this disadvantage, I always enjoyed the music cause music trespass these fences, the same and sometimes certain music permits us to touch the heaven, unless we don't know what's exactly the heaven. It's necessary to be special to create these special music. Roxette with Marie Fredikson like a main actress archived this goal for many of us. So, thanks Marie and Roxette for these magic instants that you gave me.
