Dylan was already in the Swedish Capital to perform two packed out concerts on April 1st and 2nd.

The iconic songwriter who prophesies with his pen, thought twice about accepting the prize, initially turning down an invitation to last year’s ceremony. But apparently that’s all over now and he’ll be bringing it all back home.
