Roxette Lead Singer, Marie Fredriksson Dies, Aged 61.


The lead singer of Swedish pop duo Roxette, Marie Fredriksson, has died aged 61 after a long fight with cancer, her manager said Tuesday.

The mother of two, who died on Monday, had been diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2002 but went into remission and made a musical comeback a few years later. By 2016, however, the illness had taken its toll and doctors advised her to stop touring. Announcing her death, Dimberg Jernberg Management described Fredriksson as "a wonderful person with a huge appetite for life".

"Marie leaves us a grand musical legacy," the company said in a statement. "Her amazing voice -- both strong and sensitive -- and her magical live performances will be remembered by all of us who was lucky enough to witness them." Fellow band member and guitarist Per Gessle farewelled his long-term friend in a heartfelt statement, saying: "Things will never be the same.

"Thank you, Marie, thanks for everything. You were an outstanding musician, a master of the voice, an amazing performer. Thanks for painting my black and white songs in the most beautiful colours," Gessle said.
