Dylan crashes the ceremony of delivery of Nobel – Watcher

The Nobel Literature prize 2016, Bob Dylan, will not be present at the prize ceremony on 10 December in Estocolomo. The Swedish Academy reported that the musician "would you like to receive the prize pessoalmentand" but I already had the "upfront commitments", that make it impossible. However, Dylan stresses that feels "extremely honored by this Nobel prize". Already the Swedish Academy warns: the prize is his, but you must make the speech of acceptance of the prize within six months of the day 10 — the only requirement required.

in A statement published on the page of the Nobel prize, the Academy explains that "he received last night, a personal letter from Bob Dylan, in which he explained that due to commitments in japan, may not be able to travel to Stockholm in December and, therefore, will not participate in the ceremony of delivery of the Nobel Prize".

In the same letter, says the Academy, Dylan "highlighted, once more, that feels extremely honored" and "wanted to receive the prize in person. In the communiqué, it is described that "the winners decide not to be present is certainly unusual, but not unheard of. In the recent past, several award winners, for various reasons, were not able to come to Stockholm to receive the prize, among them Doris Lessing, Harold Pinter and Elfriede Jelinek. Even so, the prize continued to belong to them, such as this one belongs to Bob Dylan."

The Academy also says to be anxious for the acceptance speech of the Nobel prize Dylan "you must give is the only requirement — in the next six months, counting from the day 10 of December".

Dylan had never guaranteed the presence. Fifteen days after the announcement (October 28), when asked by uk daily The Telegraph, if he would be present at the ceremony, Dylan replied: "Absolutely. If it is possible". At the time the musician said he was satisfied with the distinction and considered it the moment he heard the news as "wonderful and amazing". "It’s hard to believe," he added.

As for the fact that it can be equated to the great names of world literature, Bob Dylan said that he felt comfortable, because "some of the songs — "Blind Willie", "The Ballad of Hollis Brown", "Joey", "A Hard Rain", "Hurricane" and a few others — are definitely homeric," responds the singer.
