  Because of “pre-existing commitments”, Dylan will not pick up the Nobel Prize in Stockholm

  

  Bob Dylan says he will not travel to Stockholm to pick up the 2016 Nobel Prize for literature. The Swedish Academy, which gives out the Nobel prizes, says it received a personal letter from Dylan saying he had “pre-existing commitments”. From the very beginning there was a lot of speculation whether Bob Dylan even wanted his Nobel Prize in Literature since it took him more than two weeks to acknowledge that he'd won.
