Marie Fredriksson of Roxette is dead to me!

She’s so young...great voice...:(

Aww, liked her. RIP, Marie.

Så ung!

It must have been love, but it’s over now :(

I vaguely seem to recall she had a double mastectomy 20 or so years back. Sorry to hear it finally caught up with her.

She had a brain tumor too.

Her brain tumor killed her.

Who?

anytime you have to use "of" after someone's name, that person is not important enough to be talking about in the first place

61????!!!

We were just talking about her songs...

😢 RIP

Oh no, sad news. I was just thinking a few days back how Fading Like A Flower is one of my favorite power ballads.

It Must of Been Love is one of my favorites of the 80s and the best part of Pretty Woman

Silver Blue

R14, that was 1990.

R16 fuck off, the song was released in 1987 and then included in the 1990 movie. Anything else to add, Retard?

Very sad. She was very ill for a long time, but still sadness is overwhelming. I live next to Sweden and been a fan from the first Roxette hit.

She was more famous than the obese cunt R9 and her obese inbred family combined.

RIP.

Awfully sad! Poor woman, twenty years fighting cancer.

2019 blows.

r11. that was the first thing that I thought of when I read the title of this thread.

20 years with cancer? Girl you lived RIP now

😭😭😭😭

Wow, I had no idea she was sick. That's sad to hear.

It Must Have Been Love, R14. There is no such word/term as "must of."

Technically, it would be spelled "Must've" because it's a contraction of "must have."

R25, thank you. Just can eher to say the same thing. I don’t know if there’s anything worse than the misused “of”.

R25 I hope you have the same prognosis as our dear Marie.

*Just came here to say*

Oh dear! Bye!

R26 “eher” OH, DEAR! Are you mentally retarded?

R27 Trying to help someone not make a fool of themselves. No one rang for you, bitch, so slither back to your basement.

Such a great set of pipes on her - and such a long battle. So very sad.

She had a good voice. RIP.

Loved Listen to Your Heart. I would have it on repeat. I must have listened it to it hundreds of times.

She had a beautiful voice RIP

Joyride is such a great feel good song. Hearing of Marie's struggle later in life just make this news all the more sad considering how happy her music made me feel.

That fucking sucks.

She was touring a few years ago and was so ill she had to perform seated.

But she wanted to tour, and her voice sounded good as ever. Bless her.

I used to think she was singing ‘I’m gonna dressed for sad sex.’

RIP Joyride is one of my favorite songs.

Yeah, you're a fucking cunt, R17. And you're right, the song was released in 1987. In fucking SWEDEN! And it was different than the version we all know from the movie.

Girls, girls, girls. You are all cunts. It must of been love was such a heartwarming song. Perfect for Bigmouthed Julia's coming of age story about a filthy southern street whore who becomes Richard Gere's ladywhore. Such a realistic portrayal of a whore's life.

How does one have cancer for 20 years?

R41 A committed fighter, that's who.

If she had mouth cancer no doubt she got it from eating pussy. So glad to be a nelly faggot lol. So glad sucking cock does not cause fatal mouth cancers.

[quote] It must of been love was such a heartwarming song

It. Must. HAVE. Been. Love.

R44 yes. It. Must. Of. Been. Love. Learn english good broheim.

R45 YOU need to learn English, you fat whore!

R46 get lost. Your mother must of been the filthiest whore that ever lived. You disease riddled bad english speaking cuntbag. It must of been love was the name of the song.

R47 has dementia

Sad news. Some great performances on classic songs.

It’s sad to realize that the melodic pop songs created by Roxette are never going to be back in style. I hope that the kids like their rippity rap and moany, whisper vocals and auto tune cuz it ain’t going away.

I blame the OP of the Pretty Woman thread.

R48 scoff. Nice photoshop job, u loser. Learn to speak good english.

Rippity rap? Geez, you must be a thousand years old.

Sorry to hear of her passing, but that song was horrible. Late 80's MOR mush at it's most overblown.

R53 doesnt get irony. A 80s fairytale about supergayface Ricky Gere falling in love w a syphilitic streetwhore w 50 diseases. The song was perfect for such a ridiculous premise.

R54 Even shit movies can have decent songs. This would have equally been serviceable in a Meg Ryan, Diane Keaton romantic comedy. There's nothing unique about it in any way.

Listen to your Heart was my favorite of their songs. The piano ballad cover/dance mix that came out in the mid early 2000s sounded anemic in comparison. The original had power chords and passionate vocals. The cover version put you to sleep.

All of Roxette's music was pure crap but everything was at that time 89 to 91 especially. Their songs were cliched oversung overproduced soulless "power" ballads that could have easily been sung to a cactus much less an actual human being. At least the two dudes of Roxette could actually sing their crap.

Marry me, R57.

I still love some of Heart's and Roxette's power ballads, though. They have their place.

“Dangerous” was a fave of mine. Reminds me of those times I spent as a teen in the early ‘90s hanging pin-ups from various teen ‘zines on my bedroom walls.

Sad news. She was a great singer.

R43, you can get HPV-induced cancer in any orifice ... including your cocksucking mouth.

R61 yeah right, lezzie. Did you read that in a fortune cookie? Eating pussy causes fatal mouth cancer more often than not.

Roxette - Dangerous

I was visiting Sweden in 1989 when Dangerous was a huge hit. Lovely memories. Love Roxette and Marie Fredriksson. Gone much too soon.

RIP

R63 agreed. She shouldn't have eaten so much pussy. That shit is toxic.

My favorite song of theirs =

Things will never be the same...

Marie Fredriksson, Philip McKeon ...who will complete the trifecta?

Not a fan of over-produced Swedish pop. But she was a prominent voice of the late 80's/early 90's and her demise along with Tommy from Alice today makes me feel old indeed.

Sleeping in my Car was my favorite of theirs.

R.I.P.

I thought skinny people lived forever.

I’m still around, and I’m the next best thing from Sweden!

I was disappointed when I read that Marie Frederickson did not invite Per Gessle and his wife to her wedding.

On the other hand, if they had been sleeping together behind the scenes, I can understand why she’d want it that way.

R73 Mary! I doubt anyone cares what you think.

Ba ba ba fa fummmmm

Such sad news. Marie had one of the best female voices ever.

61. Infantile!

Marie and Per were each relatively successful musicians before they paired up as Roxette. They may have been merely coworkers. I know that I wouldn't invite my coworkers to my wedding.

Like anyone would marry a shriveled up 78 year old worm. Keep deluding yourself, lady.

R78, these weren’t two people working in office cubicles, these were partners in something truly unique and amazing that garnered worldwide attention.

Just because they were in a famous pop group and not in an office doesn't mean they have to like each other. Have you ever heard of the Beatles? The Eagles? Plenty of mega famous pop stars loathe their bandmates.

R71 Tell that to Karen Carpenter.
