The Legacy of Avicii

September 8 1989 to April 20 2018

Avicii, no matter where your soul rests, know that your music lives on in your legacy on earth. Growing up in the family full of music, Tim Bergling fell in love with many different styles of music. At age 18 his music career began to flourish sending this shy musician straight to the top in a wave of success and fame. In 2015, Avicii was one of the more famous DJ’s in the world. What started as only having a few drinks to stop the stage fright quickly turned into a tsunami. A tsunami of anxiety, pressure, depression, pain, stress, fear, and sever health complications due to too much alcohol consumption. Still pushed to perform, Avicii lit up stages worldwide until finally retiring from performing in 2016. In the years following his retirement, he took time to heal, create and recharge from his stage life. In April of 2018, Avicii shocked the world by taking his own life using a wine bottle. The trap of addiction snaring another incredible talent. Who knows if Avicii would still be here today if it had not been for that first sip of alcohol, but the world is quieter without you in it Tim.

Quote to live by: “Figure out what you’re most passionate about in life and what you’re good at. And the mixture between those two and then you should give it your all, all the time.” Avicii
