This candid and passionate memoir tells the heartbreaking yet often witty life story of Marie Fredriksson, the resilient lead singer of Roxette. After receiving a devastating diagnosis in 2002 that gave her only months to live, Marie embraced life with newfound courage and inspiration. She continued her music career, performing over 550 concerts and selling 75 million records, solidifying Roxette as Sweden's biggest music group, second only to ABBA. The narrative is enriched with behind-the-scenes stories featuring icons like Tina Turner, Elton John, and The Rolling Stones, while also delving into Marie's humble beginnings, the tragedy of losing her sister, her rise as a solo artist, and the challenges of being part of a successful pop group. Throughout it all, she balanced her career with the demands of motherhood and a stable marriage, all while facing a life-altering illness. Marie's journey, filled with heart-wrenching moments yet infused with winning spirit, is told with exceptional energy and sincerity. The memoir includes a foreword by her friend, director Jonas Akerlund, and features over 100 personal photographs, live and backstage shots, and memorabilia, offering a revelatory glimpse into the life of one of our generation's most talented artists.
