This weekend is the final of the Melodifestivalen 2024. Competitors in the final include, among others Cazzi Opeia with the song “Give my heart a break” and Jacqueline with the song “Effortless”.
Jimmy Jansson is the songwriter for two contributions on Saturday
What the artists have in common is that both their songs have been written together with Jimmy Johnson. He was also involved in writing last year’s winning entry Lorraine’s song “Tattoo”.
On Saturday, he will be inducted into Melodifestivalen’s Hall of Fame. But at the same time that Jimmy Jansson is charging for Saturday’s final, he has had a lot of other things to think about, which also The Express reported on.

On Monday, he operated to remove a benign tumor in the salivary gland, something he shared on Instagram. Since the operation, he has been hospitalized at Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm.
For Värmlands Folkblad told Jimmy Jansson that the idea from the beginning was to do the operation secretly.
– It has still gone well. “The reason I posted a thing about this on Instagram is because I won’t be able to hide it on Saturday because I have a big patch,” he told the magazine.
