The world has been in shock since the news of Avicii passing away last week. He was found dead in Muscat, Oman aged 28 on the 20th of April. The cause of death was kept a secret on his family’s request. His family went on to give a message that implies he took his own life. Here’s what the message read:
Stockholm, 26 April 2018
Our beloved Tim was a seeker, a fragile artistic soul searching for answers to existential questions. An over-achieving perfectionist who travelled 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.
We love you,
Your family
It is heartbreaking to even wonder what he must have been going through. For now, we mourn his loss and pray that he has found peace wherever he is.
