Bob Dylan has confirmed three upcoming shows in Sweden. The folk legend will play at the Stockholm Waterfront on April 1st and 2nd and in Lund on April 9th at Sparbanken Skane Arena. The announcement comes just days after he offered an acceptance speech for his Nobel Prize in Literature. Dylan’s acceptance speech was given at the Nobel event over the weekend by Azita Raji, the U.S. ambassador to Sweden. “I’m sorry I can’t be with you in person, but please know that I am most definitely with you in spirit and honored to be receiving such a prestigious prize,” Dylan wrote. “Being awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature is something I never could have imagined or seen coming. From an early age, I’ve been familiar with and reading and absorbing the works of those who were deemed worthy of such a distinction: Kipling, Shaw, Thomas Mann, Pearl Buck, Albert Camus, Hemingway. These giants of literature whose works are taught in the schoolroom, housed in libraries around the world and spoken of in reverent tones have always made a deep impression. That I now join the names on such a list is truly beyond words.” Copyright(c) 2016 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
