Refused frontman Dennis Lyxzén has suffered a "massive" heart attack, and consequently cancelled the band's scheduled performance at Stockholm, Sweden's Rosendal Garden Party tomorrow (June 14).
The musician shared the news on Instagram, revealing that the cardiac event took place this morning in his hotel room. "It's [sic] was extremely painful and wildly scary," he wrote below a photo of himself throwing a peace sign from a hospital bed. "Thanks [to] 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," Lyxzén added. "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 [other] and tell your loved ones that you love them."
The Rosendal Garden Party show was Refused's only upcoming show as of this writing (it was set to be their first performance in four years), the band's last release having been the 2020 The Malignant Fire EP. See Lyxzén's post and send him well wishes below.
