“Time passes so quickly. It wasn't so long ago that we spent days and nights in my little apartment in Halmstad, listening to music we loved and sharing impossible dreams. And what a dream we were able to share at some point! Thank you Marie, thank you for everything. You were an outstanding musician, a master of the voice, a great artist. Thank you for painting my black and white songs with the most beautiful colors. You have been most friends for over forty years. I am proud, honored and happy to be able to share so much of your time, talent, warmth, generosity and sense of humor. All my love goes out to you and your family. Things will never be the same.”

Marie Fredriksson had been ill since 2002. She was only given a 25 percent chance of survival. She leaves behind her husband, Mikael Bolyos, with whom she was married since 1994, and two children (26 and 23 years old).
According to a press release, the funeral and memorial service will take place behind closed doors.
