Heavy metal handicap
A Swedish heavy metal fan has had his musical taste officially classified as a disability.
Roger Tullgren will receive state benefits to supplement his income after psychological analysis confirmed heavy metal dominates his life.
The 42-year-old said: "I have been trying for 10 years to get this classified as a handicap.
"Some might say that I should grow up and learn to listen to other types of music but I can’t. Heavy metal is my lifestyle." The ageing rocker - who has long black hair, a collection of tattoos and wears skull and crossbones jewellery - claims to have attended almost three hundred shows in the last year, often skipping work in the process.
He has just started working as a part-time dishwasher at a local restaurant where his new boss allows him to play loud music at work.
