Thorsten Flinck would have participated in the second competition of Melodifestivalen 2020, which will be broadcast from Gothenburg next Saturday. But now the artist has been disqualified, this being when he is charged with illegal threats and damages.
- We deeply regret this. We really wanted to see Thorsten Flinck on the stage of the Melodifestival on Saturday. But because he is in the middle of an ongoing legal process, we cannot allow Thorsten Flinck to participate as a competitor, says Anette Helenius, project manager for Melodifestivalen, in a comment.
The contribution Miracles of Time, written by Thomas G: son, will compete with another artist in Gothenburg on Saturday. The process of finding a new artist has begun and as soon as a decision has been made SVT will announce who will replace Thorsten Flinck.
