Gun-Marie Fredriksson (Swedish: [maˈriː ˈfrêːdrɪkˌsɔn] ( listen ) ; 30 May 1958 – 9 December 2019) was a Swedish pop singer, songwriter, pianist and painter, who was best known internationally as the lead vocalist of pop rock duo Roxette, which she formed in 1986 with Per Gessle. The duo achieved international success in the late-1980s and early-1990s with their albums Look Sharp! (1988) and Joyride (1991), and had multiple hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including four number ones.

After graduating from music school in 1977, Fredriksson moved to Halmstad, where she worked in theatre before becoming involved in the local indie music scene. She formed punk group Strul (English: Hassle) in 1978 with then-boyfriend Stefan Dernbrant—the band consisted of an extensive and fractious lineup of musicians, the majority of whom would leave after a single performance; Per Gessle and Mats Persson of Gyllene Tider (English: Golden Ages) were briefly members. Strul established their own independent music festival in 1979, Strulfestivalen, which was financially lucrative for the band. The festival was held each summer for three years, until 1981. Dernbrant exited the group in December 1980 when he and Fredriksson ended their relationship. Due to the success of the festival, Fredriksson opted to continue performing under the Strul name alongside the band’s other longest-serving member, guitarist Martin Sternhufvud. The group’s popularity increased substantially in 1981, culminating in several performances on Swedish music television programmes. This exposure led to Strul signing with independent record label Bastun, which released their first and only single in June, the double A-side “Ki-I-Ai-Oo” / “Strul igen”. The release was timed to coincide with the 1981 version of Strulfestivalen, which would be the last; three months later, the group permanently disbanded following a “disastrous” performance at the Pop Around the Clock festival, which was broadcast nationally on Swedish radio.

She got married to Swedish musician, singer as well as pianist and guitarist Mickael Bolyos in 1994 and she had a daughter and son with Bolyos.

Believing Fredriksson to be “too talented to be hiding behind keyboards”, Gessle invited her to audition for Gyllene Tider’s producer Lars-Göran “Lasse” Lindbom. Impressed with her voice, Lindbom offered Fredriksson a contract as a solo artist on EMI Sweden, although she initially refused the deal, saying she was “too nervous” and “lacked the confidence” to be a solo artist. She performed duet vocals on “Så nära nu” (English: “So Near Now”), the lead single from the Lasse Lindbom Band’s 1982 album Romantisk Blackout. The album was successful in Sweden, and she joined Lindbom’s band as a featured vocalist for an extensive tour of the country. Following its completion in the autumn of 1983, Fredriksson recorded backing vocals for Gyllene Tider’s debut English album The Heartland Café, released in Sweden under the band’s original name, and in EP format in North America under the name Roxette—derived from the Dr. Feelgood song of the same name.

Marie Fredriksson Net Worth

Marie Fredriksson is one of the richest Pop Singer from Sweden. According to our analysis, Wikipedia, Forbes & Business Insider, Marie Fredriksson's net worth $60 Million. (Last Update: December 11, 2023)

She was a student at a music school and also performed in local theatres.

She underwent surgery in 2002 to treat an aggressive brain tumor that was located in the rear of her head. This resulted in her becoming blind in her right eye.

Gun-Marie Fredriksson was born on 30 May 1958 outside the small Swedish village of Össjö. She was the youngest of five children born of Charles Gösta Fredriksson (1914–1981) and Inez Dagmar Fredriksson (née Hoffert, 1922–1998). When she was four years old, her parents sold their farm and relocated to Östra Ljungby, where Gösta took a job as a postman and Inez became a factory worker. Three years later, her oldest sister Anna-Lisa was involved in a fatal traffic collision; her car was crushed by a tanker truck while she was travelling to purchase a dress for her engagement party. Marie explained: “She was 20 – and I can barely remember her today. But I remember the grief, how the family was torn apart. Completely. After that I had to fend for myself. I was only seven years old.”

On Gessle’s insistence, Fredriksson agreed to embark on a solo career in late 1983, recording her debut album from December 1983 to June 1984, with Lindbom as co-writer and producer. “Ännu doftar kärlek” (English: “Still the Scent of Love”) was issued as her debut single in May 1984, becoming a top twenty hit on Sverigetopplistan, Sweden’s national record chart. Her debut album, Het vind (English: Hot Wind), was released in September, and also peaked within the Sverigetopplistan top twenty. The album was promoted by a three-month double bill concert tour, featuring Fredriksson performing as a solo artist alongside Lindbom’s eponymous band. The title track was issued as the second and final single in October, b/w a Swedish version of Cyndi Lauper’s “All Through the Night”, retitled “Natt efter natt” (English: “Night After Night”).

While Fredriksson had established herself as a prominent soloist, Gessle’s solo work struggled to replicate the success of Gyllene Tider; his second studio album Scener (1985) sold less than 20,000 copies, a significant drop from the 400,000 copies sold by Moderna tider four years earlier. EMI Sweden’s managing director, Rolf Nygren, suggested Gessle translate one of his Swedish compositions to English and record it as a duet with Fredriksson. The resulting song, “Neverending Love”, was issued under the band name Roxette—the name Gyllene Tider had used to release The Heartland Café in North America in 1984. The track peaked at number three on the Swedish Singles Chart, and was one the most popular songs on Swedish radio that year. Their debut album, Pearls of Passion, was a major success upon release in October 1986, peaking at number two and eventually selling over 200,000 copies, but it failed to chart internationally. Roxette embarked on their first tour in the summer of 1987, “Rock runt riket” (“Rock Around the Kingdom”), a 15-date co-headlining tour with Eva Dahlgren and Ratata.

Fredriksson had a successful career in her native country prior to forming Roxette. She was a member of punk group Strul, a band which created their own music festival in 1979. Strul’s dissolution led to the creation of her next project, the short-lived MaMas Barn, after which she began releasing solo work. Her first album, Het vind, was issued in 1984, followed by Den sjunde vågen in 1986 and … Efter stormen in 1987. Roxette’s international breakthrough coincided with a period of inactivity for Fredriksson as a solo artist, punctuated only by the release of the non-album single “Sparvöga” in 1989. Subsequent solo albums included Den ständiga resan (1992) and I en tid som vår (1996).

Fredriksson’s third studio album, … Efter stormen (English: After the Storm), was issued in October 1987. It peaked at number one and sold over 50,000 copies within a month of release, and was certified platinum by the Swedish Recording Industry Association for shipments in excess of 100,000 units. Both the title track and “Bara för en dag” (English: “Just for a Day”) were top ten hits on Svensktoppen, and she promoted the album with a sold-out concert tour. Roxette released their second studio album, Look Sharp!, on 21 October 1988. Once again, it was an immediate commercial success in Sweden, selling over 140,000 copies within ten days of release, but failed to chart internationally.

This cover band appeared on several Swedish television programmes, and consisted of Fredriksson and Lindbom performing alongside Per Gessle and Mats Persson. The same year, Fredriksson and Lindbom travelled to the Canary Islands to write songs for her second solo album. Den sjunde vågen (English: The Seventh Wave) was released in February 1986 and peaked at number six on Sverigetopplistan, selling over 90,000 copies. “Den bästa dagen” (English: “The Best Day”) and “Silver i din hand” (English: “Silver in Your Hand”) were issued as singles, while the title track and “Mot okända hav” (English: “Toward Unknown Seas”) were top ten hits on Svensktoppen, Sweden’s airplay-based chart.

“The Look” was issued as the third single from Look Sharp! in Sweden, and was a top ten hit upon release in January 1989. The following month, the track unexpectedly entered the Billboard Hot 100, despite the duo not having a recording contract in the US; the local branch of EMI had previously rejected Roxette as “unsuitable for the American market.” An exchange student from Minnesota returned from Sweden and asked his local Minneapolis-based Top 40 radio station to play the song. The track quickly became popular, and the station began distributing the song to their sister radio operations throughout the US. “The Look” topped the chart after just eight weeks, and went on to peak at number one in a total of 25 countries. The single’s parent album eventually sold over 9 million copies worldwide. “Listen to Your Heart” was the band’s second number one on the Hot 100, while the album’s final single, “Dangerous”, spent two weeks at number two. Fredriksson ended 1989 performing on-stage as part of The Husbands, a cover band formed by Lasse Lindbom and Niklas Strömstedt.
