Roxette singer Marie Fredriksson dies aged 61 after 17-year battle with cancer

https://metro.co.uk/2019/12/10/roxet...d-61-11612517/

Roxette singer Marie Fredriksson has died aged 61. The It Must Have Been Love singer’s death was confirmed by the Swedish newspaper Expressen, who published a statement from her family.

The statement read: ‘It is with great sadness that we have to announce that one of our biggest and most beloved artists is gone. ‘Marie Fredriksson passed away in the morning of December 9th due to complications from her illness.’ The singer had previously battled a brain tumour.

A statement from Dimberg Jernberg Management later confirmed that Fredriksson passed away on 9 December after a ’17 year long battle with cancer’.
So young, so sad …..

Such a sad loss and such a great voice.
I remember listening to her big hit over and over.

Really sad. A superb singer, R.I.P. Marie.

This is probably my favourite. It's as good as any of the big American power ballads, such as those by Heart or REO Speedwagon:

That's a shock. I always liked her powerful voice.

RIP
