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.

No wonder the Teen Suicide rates are Off the Charts…
Carrie Underwood asked if she could sing but they told her they did not allow lip syncing!!
i love justin and taylor
I love u justin bieber very much
So , No Demi lovato hah ??
If the demographic you are going for are tweens…then yes but for everyone else probably not. I mean I like Bieber. He's pretty good but throw in One Direction and Taylor Swift…it's too much. Lacking in the maturity department but the rest of the line up sounds good. Luckily they're not all schedule for the same night. Taylor and One Direction are on Saturday and Bieber's on Monday so take that into consideration.
ok yeah taylor is not good. she has just won a few grammys and been recognize by the best for her eriting skills but justin bieber is amazing. youre right
First, I love Taylor Swift and I'm hoping she will perform her duets with B.O.B and Ed Sheeran and second, I can't take anyones opinion seriously when they say Justin Beiber is amazing, it just makes me laugh way too much!!
wish you all the best and success in your game
no thanks i dont wanna waste my time seeing this trash lip synch its for bunch of small girly girls
Yes this should be an incredible lineup! Make sure to check out Nashville's next big star Kristen Kelly. She's got a new EP coming out on 10/22.
