Now 78, Avicii’s dd told the BBC “I miss him every minute. Of course, I talk to him every day. But… I admit, I get angry at him sometimes. Why did you do it? Why did you leave us?” “Tim meant a lot to young people – his music, his lyrics, and his person. At first, I didn’t understand why, but then a fan said, ‘Tim was authentic.’ I understood. Many young people relate to that authenticity, his honesty, and struggles.”
Devastated by the musician’s death, following his suicide the Bergling family released the following statement:
“Our beloved Tim was a seeker, a fragile artistic soul searching for answers to existential questions… When he stopped touring, he wanted to find a balance in life to be able to be happy and to do what he loved most – music.” “He really struggled with thoughts about Meaning, Life, Happiness. He could now 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.”
