Swedish punk legends Refused were forced to abruptly cancel what was billed as their last-ever festival gig in Sweden after lead singer Daniel Lyxzen suffered a “massive heart attack.” The band were scheduled to perform at Stockholm’s Rosendal Garden Party festival this weekend, a gig that — in addition to being “their last festival gig in Sweden. Ever,” Refused previously stated — was also their first show in four years, when the Covid pandemic cut short a North American tour in 2020.
However, on Lyxzen’s Instagram, the singer revealed he suffered a heart attack Thursday and shared a photo of himself recovering in the hospital. A post shared by Dennis Lyxzén (@dennislyxzen) “So this morning I had a massive heart attack at my hotel room. It’s was extremely painful and wildly scary,” he wrote.
“Thanks the the wonderful doctors and nurses at the Uppsala hospital I’m still around to fight another day. Under the circumstances I feel ok. Sore and tired and really shook up.
” Lyxzen continued, “I real really hate cancelling show but the doctor said no rock for a couple of weeks. Which means that the [Refused] show at [Rosendal Garden Party] is not happening. A complete bummer as I was really looking forward to it.
But hopefully I/we will be able to make up to you soon. The good news is that with medication I can get back to my rocking self hopefully sooner than later.” Trending Trump Angrily Demanded Mike Johnson Help Overturn Conviction: Report Sha.
