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.

Love Howard, hate him dignifying her faux-mental illness masquerade as some sort of reality though. She's not crazy. She's probably actually really boring.
She is crazy and that's why we love her!!!
Nicky Minaj is a gimmick and a good one but when she sings live it is horrible
where is the talent?
it is all video and camera tricks
she sucks, nice tits though… terrible nose job… looks crazy
It would be a hoot if she addressed the contestants with her multi-personalities. Some criticism could be sugar sweet and some inappropriately nasty.
All the while dressing as only she can…
..listen to howard…
