Sizzla concert canceled due to protest

Jamaican reggae singer Sizzla's planned concert in Stockholm, Sweden, was scrapped due to complaints about the anti-gay lyrics of his songs, organizers said. The Local said the entertainer, whose full name is Sizzla Kalonji, was booked to perform at the Hornstull Strand March 28. The show was canceled after lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender activists and their supporters voiced their outrage over his songs, which contain lines about killing and burning homosexuals. Some of Sizzla's concerts in Canada and England also have been canceled because of the public outcry, The Local reported.
