John Lundvik Arrives Late to Bingolotto After Train Chaos, Digi Mart USA News (Sweden): Singer John Lundvik, 43, was stuck in train traffic on Sunday and was delayed for his scheduled appearance on the evening’s Bingolotto program.
He was absent at the start of the live broadcast, which aired on TV4 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Program host Daniel Norberg told viewers that Lundvik was in the building but had been delayed after spending much of the day on a train.
A few minutes later, during the Ettan bingo segment, Lundvik slipped into the studio. Backstage footage shows the artist rushing from his taxi into the building and quickly changing clothes to take part in the show.
John Sarafian, the public relations head for Bingolotto, said Lundvik’s first song had to be moved back because of the delay.
Lundvik was affected by train disruption between Stockholm and Gothenburg. On Sunday, a passenger train from Stockholm to Gothenburg stopped near Tjuvmossen in Laxå Municipality because of smoke from a carriage.
Traffic resumed at 1:30 p.m., but delays continued through the day.
