Avicii Opened Up About Substance Abuse, Poor Health, & Overwhelming Fame In 2016 Interview
Like countless others, we are still reeling from the news of Avicii's passing.
As we reported, the talented DJ passed away on Friday at the young age of 28. Although he has been battling health issues for years, his cause of death remains unreported at this time.
In a 2016 interview, the artist (real name Tim Bergling) talked about his poor health and overwhelming fame shortly after announcing his retirement from live touring. This all came after he was suffering from several health issues, including acute pancreatitis partly due to excessive drinking. After having his gallbladder and appendix removed in 2014, he canceled a series of shows in attempt to recover.

H looks just like his dad, Larry.
Good Lord he is ugly.
Perez: His mugshot has been on the web all weekend. You're a dumbass.
Didn't Paris Hilton sleep with this guy? She must have been on some of his good drugs. He is wicked ugly!
Wow, last time I saw this guy he was on Brooke Knows Best, and he wasn't that attractive then but at least he didn't look like he's been through hell and back.
now you're just doing it on purpose.
No wonder he keeps his glasses on..Some people just look better/decent with glasses on (ex: Dev, Scott storch, lil John, etc..)
Re: perezisadumbass – So is she..
He needs to share the coke with Christina so she won't be so fat….
Horner's Syndrome. Ptosis of the left levator palpebrae superioris due to sympathetic chain lesion.
no wonder he wears them big ass sunglasses
who is this?
You have no freaking life man ! What is your beef with Christina? Leave her alone people ! She is an amazing artist ! The good things she does go unnoticed yet when she has a rough time everyone is quick to judge her. Fuck off already ! She is an incredibly strong woman ! She isn't afraid to be a woman or express it( stripped, dirty, etc). I greatly admire that about her. That doesn't make her a whore/hoe/slut/whatever. She has an amazing voice, great personality, the things she has done in her career are awesome. Stripped, Back to basics, bionic are all so versatile and amazing in there own ways. She can go into any genre and rock it like nobody else. The soul in her voice and emotion she puts into her performances make her even better ! She has good principles and values. She may have gained weight but so what ? These past 2 years have been rough on her but she is a fighter and ya'll aren't going to tear her down so just give up already, get a life and get out of hers. Quit judging and just listen. I understand people have different tastes in music but if you don't like her then simply fuck off.
