Swedish man gets benefits for Black Sabbath addiction
A Swedish man is to receive sickness benefits for his addiction to heavy metal music.

The lifestyle of 42-year-old dishwasher Roger Tullgren from Hässleholm in southern Sweden has been classified as a disability by the Swedish Employment Service, which has agreed to pay part of Tullgren's salary, and his new boss has given him special dispensation to play loud music at work.



Tullgren says he has always had difficulty holding down a job, mainly because he is absent most of the time.
