Marie te deseo lo mejor allá donde estés.
Con 14 años os empecé a escuchar y con 38 os sigo escuchando.
Habéis sido junto Noel gallagher los que me habéis levantado el ánimo y os he llevado allá donde ido. Se que no te volveré a ver, pero no olvido, ni olvidaré estos conciertos en Barcelona.
Honestamente se me ha ido un trozo de mi infancia.
Marie descansa en paz.
Un abrazo para la familia.
LIVE FOREVER
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.

Marie,
Dankie vir die musiek van Roxette. Ek sou nooit deur die 80's, 90's en 2000's kon kom sonder die musiek van Roxette nie en vir dit sal ek altyd dankbaar wees.
Rus sag Marie.

I grow up with the music from Roxette. Since 28 years they are in my life. In 2011 my biggest dream came true. I saw Roxette live for the first time in Oberhausen. It was magic. This clear voice from Marie and the amazing band. A year later, I visit a concert with my daughter. For me it was very emotional, to show her with which music I grow up. But my girl can also sing nearly every song from Roxette.
I am so thankful for the years full of great music. Marie you will never forget. You will life in our hearts forever. RIP Marie.
Roxette is my absolute favorite band. Marie was my idol and I’ve spent my whole life listening to her music. Her music has been with me in good times and bad and will continue to be with me.
I have been blessed to be able to be at her 3 concerts held in South Africa and these will remain very special events in my life. She is missed but never forgotten and her music will live on in her fans friends and family forever. RIP
My childhood, teenage years, and 20s were defined by Roxette and you were the only thing that connected me to my past life and my birth country when we moved away. I’ve been feeling sad, confused, shocked, and heart-broken in the past few days not being able to make sense of this. Another chapter is closed and I’m having a hard time accepting it. It was a life-long dream to meet you and Per in Vancouver in 2012 backstage. I gave you some letters and souvenirs and hope you enjoyed them. I will cherish that night forever as it was the most amazing night of my life and will carry the memories with me until my last breath. You gave meaning to my world and I’m forever grateful for that. May you rest in peace now. Thank you for everything. Things will never be the same.
Dear Mikael and kids: I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you can find comfort in knowing how many lives Marie had touched. Much love to you.
MARIE:
Since 1991 part of my life.
You will always be in my heart!

I must add something very, very important. On the day our beloved Marie passed, I was playing Roxette in the car for my two daughters, Ava (13) and Coralie (7) to let them hear the beautiful Silver Blue, and later I posted the song and lyrics on my Facebook page. The next morning I saw the sad news. I find it at once strange and comforting that I listened to this perfect song, my absolute favorite of all time, on that day. I believe it was a personal good-bye from Marie to me, a fan since I was 12. Thank you for the music, Marie. I love you.
Aos 9 anos(estou com 37) de idade escutei o vinil Look Sharp e nao consegui mais de parar de escutar a musica Dressed For Success, foi o inicio para procurar pesquisar tudo sobre Roxette que era sobre Marie comprar,colecionar, revistas,recortes, K7s,Lps, fã clube,tudo que encontrase e foi ate hoje sempre escutando, acho que posso dizer que foi algo em que mais dediquei me em minha vida, o meu tempo, so posso dizer que so me vez bem,me ajudava muito ouvir sua voz,e parte de minha vida, muito triste,enfim nao lido muito bem com as palavras, mas e uma das coisas que mais influenciou em minha vida.era meu guia, uma força extra, companhia na adolescia,infância, minha religião. Tudo isso me deixa mais humana e realista, Marie saiu em uma nova Joyride...Brasil/Alegrete/Rs
Marie, I'm sure we are all energy! An energy that makes us all one! And energy does not die! Energy transforms! Transcend! You are not alive only in our hearts! You are alive in this universe that is all of us! Thank you for leaving us still here, this wonderful piece of music that you and your great partner created on Roxette. Thank you darling!
I was lucky enough to see you in Calgary, at the Olympic Saddledome when I was 12. I begged my mother for tickets for my best friend and I. She gave them to me for a birthday present. It was the time of my life. I yet again was lucky enough to see you again, in Calgary, at the Saddledome, with the same friend just a few years ago. It again was amazing! You were such a great part of my teenage years, and even now that I am close to 40 years old. I still listen to you in the car, and think back to the great times I had, and the magic you brought to my life. To Marie's family. I am so sorry for your lose. I hope the love everyone had for her comforts you a little. I lost both my parents at a very early age, and my mother close to Christmas. Just remember, she will always be with you. Thanks for all your magic Roxette!
Dear Fredriksson family
Although I never knew your beloved wife and mother personally, I consider her part of my family. I feel as if I have lost an immediate family member. My heart is truly broken. Her voice has carried me through many years of growing up and adulthood—the sadness of loneliness—Watercolurs in the Rain, The Heart Shaped Sea, So Far Away—-to the elation of love—Stars, Salvation, Wish I Could Fly, Beautiful Things—she was my voice. I hope you all can take comfort from the fact that her voice will live on in everyone’s heart as it does yours, in many countries with many people, forever. You have friends from all over the world who will always love her. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. May God hold her in his arms for you.
Muchas gracias, nos disteis luz y felicidad en la oscuridad y el sufrimiento. Descansa en paz, Marie, no se te olvidará. Sigues en mis sueños. BESOS, MUCHO AMOR y PAZ.
I was 14 years old when I went to my first concert. It was Roxette playing at Kings Park Stadium in January 1995 in Durban, South Africa. My teenage life was never the same again. I remember Marie coming out wearing the Natal Sharks rugby jersey at one point, and the crowd went absolutely wild for her. My life followed with years of my bedroom walls being covered by Roxette posters, saving my money for every Roxette album and other paraphernalia I could get my hands on, and even (up to this day) earning the nickname Per from my friends. Nothing came close to the day i first saw them live on stage. I watched them play twice again at Sun City and The Dome in 2016. I was all grown up by then, but you still took me back to that carefree joyous time in my young life. Beautiful Marie, small, with that big strong voice - you will always be loved, never forgotten.
Rest in peace your wonderful soul. You have been a huge part of my childhood and life. Was privileged to see you in 2011, giving your all on that stage while you were battling cancer and not feeling well. You were a brave beautiful woman. Your music will forever be a part of my life. Much love!!!!

RIP Maria things will never be the same xxx
Eine so wundervolle Stimme ist gegangen. Wir wünschen der Familie ganz viel Kraft und auch Per. Es ist so traurig!!!! Der Tod ist nicht das Ende sondern nur ein Übergang auf eine andere Ebene. Engel werden dich begleiten Marie. Ein letzter Gruß Marion und Ulli
All I can say that I’ve been listening to Roxette songs since I was 12 years old. I’m now 42 and still enjoy listening to them. Marie, thank you for your magnificent voice! You’ll be missed! I’m sure you are now singing among other angels in heaven. Until we meet again, rest In piece beautiful woman.
Just wanted to say I listened to and loved your music and I was very inspired by your strength and how you battled the terrible monster cancer for so long! You are a true warrior and an inspiration. I'm very sorry you lost your battle here but you have earned your Heavenly wings so rest in peace!
