Lars "Lasse" Berghagen

 
Tribute to Lars Berghagen (Sweden 1975):  Sad news hit the Eurovision Community on 19 October 2023 as it was announced that Swedish Singer / Songwriter / Show Host Lars "Lasse" Berghagen has passed away at the age of 78 following complications during a cardiac surgery. Lars represented Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest 1975 with the song "Jennie Jennie" coming 8th. Also he wrote the theme songs to two of Sweden's most popular Summer Sing-a-long shows: Allsang pa Skansen and Lotta pa Liseberg which is still being used until today. Radio International will broadcast a tribute to Lars Berghagen on the show this week to remember and celebrate his work, music and life.

Also JP will be joined by David Mann for the Eurovision Birthday File and Eurovision Coverspot. The Eurovision Spotlight is presented by Chris Poppe as the new series of Sweden's History at the Eurovision Song Contest. It is a Radio International tradition to showcase the songs of the country that will host the next Eurovision Song Contest. So once again it is Sweden following the victory of Loreen for a second time after 2012 with "Euphoria" with the song for 2023 entitled "Tattoo".
