A planned concert in Sweden for Sizzla Konlonji was cancelled following protests about his anti-gay lyrics.

Sizzla was booked to perform at the Hornstull Strand on March 28, but according to reports, organizers say they were forced to cancel the event.

Music News understands that a group of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender protesters and their supporters voiced outrage over Sizzla's songs, which they say contain lines about killing and burning homosexuals.

Some of Sizzla's concerts in Canada and England have also reportedly been cancelled because of the public outcry.

The 'little station that could' got all media houses in Jamaica to stand up and take note.
