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.

What an ugly self absorbed woman, who care's that Heather isnt jewish…I hate people like Jill.
Perez,
You called it right on this one. I find you disgusting, but strangely appealing.
Dr. Phil
PS. You make me hard
I wish this whole ridiculous franchise would just go away.
I don't think Andy likes you, Perez. Just a hunch. But nonetheless, Jill made a fool of herself by even doing this. She basically admitted her was still in the show and that she's desperate for the same sort of attention she got while she was on it.
Jill Zarin deserves credit for owning up to missing the Housewives gig. Also, some of her opinions about producer manipulation of the show seem quite plausible. Andy and Jill both had a chance to put forth their positions and I think it was a draw. They are to be applauded for keeping it cordial.
Tell us again, what's the friction between you and Andy, Perez? You were so sweet and candid on his show. Is he still not feeling the love?
I was semi-interested and watched it. It was awkward, but I thought Andy handled himself well. Jill was so contrived and self-absorbded, basically listing all the reasons she should still be on the show or how the current women were emulating her. Ridiculous. She all but got on her knees and pleaded for her job back. What I did find interesting was when she spoke about the behind-the-scences info - like her pitching bravo on fights/storylines, that the Bethenny fight was for ratings in her mind, the favoritism in editing, and that Andy gave his opinion on her "fight" with Bethenny. Further proof that the whole thing is BS.
She must be joking! At the end of her fight with Bethenny no one was on Jill's side! She is such a self-centered child! And Jill's mother wanted to take Bethenny in as her own child! Bethenny is better off on her own, mothers like Jill had create MONSTERS!
you're right..it was very awkward…woah.
the thing is, jill was annoying. self centered, mean girl, etc. viewers saw that, and they wanted smthg different.
andy handled himself very well.

i am glad Jill is gone.
I can not believe that Andy/Bravo gave her one second of there time. I have never been a Jill fan but by the end of the show I felt sorry for her. She was so delusional and her thoughts are just sad. The way she blamed Bravo, Bethanny, the cast, the plummer for her own actions was just sad. The entire time she had convinced herself that Bethanny had done something wrong, that there friendship was a business move, no Jill you were mean and told her to go away. So she did. The fans choose the other cast member or a different show to watch. We didn't want you or your dog or your family any more. And you think we now want a show with you only and your family. NO thanks
I hate Bethenny but this Jill is so unlikable. She really believes she is so much more than she is. Which is an average woman with no talent who married an ugly rich guy. That's about it.
I was happy that Jill didn't bite her tongue. Tell it like it is. Sincerely, I stop watching the show because of her departure. I tried to watched this year's reunion and almost went through the screen. I had to turn away until Live Bravo show with Andy. In my opinion, the executives need to get rid of that crazy-eyes, over-dramatic, dilusional, drunkard Ramona. She's toxic!
Who (besides jill z.) would give up a "13million dollar" home in Paris? And for what, the pipe dream of going back on Bravo & perhaps even having her own show??? "Like Seinfield" none the less LOL.. Am I missing something cz I never found Jill to be remotely funny? For her to gain some sort of the public adoration she appears soooo desperate for, would be for her to pkg. & sell whatever she must have been smoking before going on w.w.h.l..
