Thread: Bob Dylan finally agrees to accept Nobel Prize

-Bob Dylan will finally accept his Nobel Prize for Literature in Stockholm this weekend, the academy has announced.

The American singer was awarded the prize in October but failed to travel to pick up the award, or deliver the lecture that is required to receive the 8m kroner ($900,000;£727,000) prize.

The academy said it would meet Dylan, 75, in private in the Swedish capital, where he is giving two concerts.

He will not lecture in person but is expected to send a taped version...

...In October, Bob Dylan became the first songwriter to win the prestigious award, and the first American since novelist Toni Morrison in 1993.

He received the prize "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition", the award citation said.

It took him more than two weeks to make any public comment, finally saying the honour had left him "speechless"...
