Refused have canceled a show in Sweden billed as their last festival date ever, so that frontman Dennis LyxzĂ©n can recover from what he called âa massive heart attack.â âItâs was extremely painful and wildly scary,â he wrote on Instagram. âThanks the the wonderful doctors and nurses at the Uppsala hospital Iâm still around to fight another day. Under the circumstances I feel ok. Sore and tired and really shook up. I real really hate cancelling show but the doctor said no rock for a couple of weeks.â
The show at Stockholmâs Rosendal Garden Party would have been the bandâs first in four years, the last having taken place behind the groupâs second reunion LP, 2019âs War Music. The Cardigans, M.I.A., and Massive Attack are set to headline the festival this weekend.
In the statement, captioned to a photo of LyxzĂ©n in a hospital bed, he added, âA 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. Life is weird and precious. Take care of each and tell your loved ones that you love them.â
