Swedish DJ Avicii’s cause of death has seemingly been announced by the family as an apparent suicide.
“Our beloved Tim was a seeker, a fragile artistic soul searching for answers to existential questions.
“An over-achieving perfectionist who traveled and worked hard at a pace that led to extreme stress.
“When he stopped touring, he wanted to find a balance in life to be happy and be able to do what he loved most – music.
“He really struggled with thoughts about Meaning, Life, Happiness.
“He could not go on any longer.
“He wanted to find peace.
“Tim was not made for the business machine he found himself in; he was a sensitive guy who loved his fans but shunned the spotlight.
“Tim, you will forever be loved and sadly missed.
“The person you were and your music will keep your memory alive.”
W Magazine recently published an article calling Avicci EDM’s Kurt Cobain.
“The kid who fell in love with dance music before he ever entered a club, who honed his craft alone in his bedroom on a computer, and was told he could become the biggest DJ in the world even before he actually knew how to DJ, had returned to his roots.
Indeed, new songs did continue at a steady pace. The EP Avīci (01) was released in August 2017. “Lonely Together,” a collaboration with Rita Ora, didn’t make much noise in America, but was a hit in most of the rest of the world. His Instagram portrayed a seemingly happy life of hiking with his dog in California and noodling in the studio with guitars and pianos.
Though his health struggles had been well known, it was still a shock when his management announced he had been found dead in Muscat, Oman.”
