Marie Fredriksson, singer of pop duo Roxette, has died
In 2002 Fredriksson was diagnosed with brain cancer. Gruelling treatment enabled her to eventually return to the state, but by 2016 her doctors told her she needed to stop performing and focus on her health.
Her return in 2009 brought Roxette back onto world tour and even yielded several new albums.
"Marie leaves us a grand musical legacy. 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," her management company Dimberg Jernberg said in its statement. "But we also remember a wonderful person with a huge appetite for life, and woman with a very big heart who cared for everybody she met."
