It’s the circle of life and unfortunately everyone has to succumb to it.

The world of music lost another great singer yesterday and fellow artists and fans are all mourning for Marie Fredriksson the best way they know how.

After battling with cancer for 17 years, Marie sadly passed away yesterday night at 61 years old.

Her Roxette bandmate, Per Gessle tweeted ‘things will never be the same’…

Time goes by so quickly. It’s not that long ago we spent days+nights in my tiny apartment sharing impossible dreams. And what a dream we eventually got to share! I’m honoured to have met your talent+generosity. All my love goes to you+your family. Things will never be the same. pic.twitter.com/CTegAUGrXG

The Pop Duo formed Roxette way back in 1986 and got a breakthrough after their second album Look Sharp! was released. Their other hits ‘It Must Have Been Love’, ‘Joyride’, ‘Listen To Your Heart’ and more.

Marie was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2002. She leaves behind her husband, two children and her fans from all over the world.

We will always listen to you in the heart #MarieFredriksson

For every emotion there is a @TheRealRoxette song. This one is my favorite to listen to when I’m feeling down. By the end, I’m no longer feeling down.https://t.co/iDJ3RzvneT

🎶Roxette!🎵

Been a massive fan of Roxette since the very beginning and been lucky to see bit Per and Marie perform in London twice and Manchester. To loose such a talented performer so young is devastating and my thoughts and prayers go to Per, Marie’s family and friends ❤️
