Title: Refused Lead Singer Dennis Lyxzén Suffers Heart Attack, Sweden Concert Cancelled
Lead singer Dennis Lyxzén of the band Refused suffered a heart attack this morning in his hotel room, just one day before their final festival performance in Sweden. Lyxzén shared the news on his Instagram, describing the experience as extremely painful and frightening. Despite the scare, he reassured fans that he was doing okay under the circumstances, thanks to the medical care he received at Uppsala hospital.
Due to his health condition, tomorrow’s scheduled Refused performance at the Rosendal Garden Party Festival in Stockholm has been canceled. Lyxzén expressed disappointment at not being able to rock out for a few weeks as advised by his doctor. However, he remained hopeful that he would be back to his rocking self with the help of medication soon. He also reminded everyone of the importance of cherishing life and expressing love to their dear ones.
The upcoming concert would have marked Refused’s first performance in four years and was promoted as their only show and final festival appearance in Sweden, sparking rumors of a possible band breakup. The Swedish hardcore legends had to cut short their 2020 US tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, Lyxzén has been involved with other musical projects like INVSN, Fake Names supergroup, and Vännäs Kasino.
The incident serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of life and the importance of taking care of one’s health. Fans of Refused are sending their well wishes to Dennis Lyxzén for a speedy recovery and hoping to see the band back on stage in the future.
