Rigshospitalet - Copenhagen University Hospital, or simply Riget, is the national hospital of Denmark, located in the capital city of Copenhagen, between the streets of Blegdamsvej, Tagensvej and Nørre Allé. Rigshospitalet is part of the Copenhagen University Hospital, together with the faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Copenhagen.

Rigshospitalet was founded in 30 March 1757 under the name "Kongelig Frederiks Hospital", named after King Frederick V. It was back then located in Bredgade in central Copenhagen. Since 1903 the state has been the owner of the hospital (whereas other hospitals in Denmark are owned by the Regions).

Rigshospitalet's mission is to be Denmark's leading hospital for patients needing highly specialized treatment.[1]. Rigshospitalet's main specialist role has been enhanced in recent years by the decision that it should serve as the host institution for many of Copenhagen's speciality departments. Because of this, other hospitals refer patients to Rigshospitalet for the unique expertise available there. Rigshospitalet’s neighbor, Panum Institute, houses the Health Sciences Faculty of Copenhagen University, and this proximity optimizes a close cooperation between the two in the fields of research and development. The Nordic Cochrane Centre and the University Centre for Nursing and Care Research are both placed within Rigshospitalet.

Tim Christensen (Copenhagen, 2 July 1974) is a Danish singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He debuted as the singer, guitarist and songwriter of the Danish band Dizzy Mizz Lizzy. After the band's break-up in 1998, he launched a solo career. He makes rock music with pop and folk influences. In 2010, Christensen went on a reunion tour with Dizzy Mizz Lizzy. His fourth solo album was released on 25 November 2011.

At the age of two or three, Christensen was already fond of his father's LP records of The Beatles. He was six years old when John Lennon was murdered, and many documentaries and performances of The Beatles appeared on television. Christensen was impressed by how The Beatles played, which inspired him to start playing on his father's acoustic guitar. Playing the guitar felt natural to him, and he did not feel like taking lessons and having to practice "stupid children's songs".

Christensen's family wasn't very wealthy, but when he was eight years old, his father received a one-time sum of money and gave Christensen two choices: either to build a pool in the back yard or to go on vacation to Lennon's hometown of Liverpool and to the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London. Christensen chose the latter, and recalls that that this was the only time his family went on a vacation. At that age he also played in a children's rock band that performed at schools and he started writing his own songs.

Mads Langer (born 1984, Skive) is a Danish singer and singer-songwriter, who became internationally known for his cover of "You're Not Alone" by the British band Olive. While that song is cheerful, his own songs are frequently typified as emotional guitar ballads, because many of them are in a minor scale and have a melancholic feel to them. He has explained that even when he tries to write an uplifting song, it often ends up being a sad song, even though he does consider himself to be an optimist rather than an emotional person and says about himself that he is not that sensitive but rather a very tough guy. Langer also writes more powerful songs and performs various songs on piano. His third studio album Behold was released on 9 May 2011.
