Tim Bergling (8 September 1989 – 20 April 2018) – known more by stage name Avicii - was a 'Swedish DJ, remixer, record producer, musician, and songwriter' all rolled into one, who died young at the age of 28 due to mental and physical health related problems, but his music took the world by storm. Despite bad health, he continued performing live to keep up his public persona leading to mental imbalance and suicide.
According to his family tribute, "He really with thoughts about ‘Meaning’ struggled, 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. The person you were and your music will keep your memory alive. We love you."
