AVICII – SUICIDE

Tim Bergling or professionally known as Avicii was one of the most promising young artists in the global music scene. He created a niche for himself in mixing music and producing records. Some of his most notable works were Levels and Wake Me Up. These two topped the charts and received positive reviews from the watchful eyes of the critics. By 2014, Avicii had become the world’s third-highest-earning DJ, working with Madonna, Lenny Kravitz, Zach Brown and his hero Coldplay.

His talent and effort were his most significant investments in the music industry, which earned him multiple awards and recognitions. However, he had to retire early because of his unwavering health issues. He later shocked the world, specifically the dance community, with his unexpected suicide because of the pressure and depression he felt while working under the spotlight. In 2019, Bergling’s family founded the Mental Illness and Suicide Prevention Foundation, named after the late DJ Tim Bergling. Avicii’s death has raised awareness of mental health in the industry.
