Garplind, host of SVT's "Cyklopernas land", as well as "Eftermiddag i P3" on Sveriges Radio, had planned for Saturday, August 9, a talk show with celebrity guests and live music. But with short notice, the host jumps off.
"I've had a bit too much to do lately and simply didn't get it together. I needed to sleep for a month instead. I'm the worst", writes Garplind to Expressen.
He writes that he respects the people of Gothenburg too much to "come there and deliver a rotten show. They deserve only the best and the goal is to come back and give it to them another year”.
Way Out West has confirmed the cancellation. Garplind will, however, still attend the festival in Slottsskogen in Gothenburg.
"Such a line up, you don't miss no matter how tired you are", he writes.
Garplind was to perform at Stay Out West, which gathers concerts and events outside the festival area. Now he is replaced by the Danish jazz duo Bremer/McCoy.
