Once he won Eurovision, now he was not allowed to the event. “What a nice welcome”

Eurovision is one of the most prestigious competitions. For many, however, the fact that even former participants have to apply for accreditation is a surprise, and the granting of an invitation is not at all obvious. One of the winners, Mans Zelmerlöw, found out about it, meeting with a refusal.

The European music festival has been officially launched. The competition, which took place on May 9, 2023 at the Liverpool Arena, is behind us. 15 of this year’s candidates presented themselves on stage, and the others will perform in the second part of the event on May 11. Two days later, the official judging will take place, during which this year’s winner will be selected

The Swedish singer won Eurovision in 2015. Now he has not received accreditation

Måns Zelmerlöw is a singer from Sweden. In 2015, he represented the country at the 60th Vienna Song Contest. He performed on stage with the song “Heroes” and immediately gained the recognition of the jury. The advantage in points and numerous votes of the viewers made him the winner. As a former participant and winner, the artist was scheduled to attend this year’s event to host the broadcast on Swedish television with Edward af Sillén. However, that did not happen.

The attitude of the organizers shocked Zelmerlöw. The singer has already cleared up the confusion

According to the applicable regulations, the singer applied for accreditation, but what was his surprise when he received a negative decision. The message from the organizers was a huge shock to him. Outraged by the producers’ attitude, he published its content online, sharing his bitterness with fans.

Dear Mans, We regret to inform you that your application for accreditation for the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 has been REJECTED. We understand that you may be dissatisfied with this turn of events

it was written. Zelmerlöw did not fail to comment on the content of the e-mail.

What a nice welcome. Eight years later

he concluded bitterly.

However, it turns out that his reaction was not right, because there was a mistake. The singer commented on this for the portal, in which he corrected the unfortunate incident. – I already have an accreditation for SVT, therefore my application to the BBC, which was also in the system, was rejected – said Zelmeröw, who will act as a commentator during the final performances.
