Avicii, whose real name was Tim Bergling, died on April 20, 2018. The official cause of his death was suicide due to self-inflicted injuries. The Swedish DJ and music producer had struggled with his mental health for many years, and his death came as a shock to his fans and the music industry.
Avicii had openly spoken about his mental and physical health issues in the past. He suffered from acute pancreatitis, which was in part caused by excessive alcohol consumption. This condition led him to have his gallbladder and appendix removed, causing further health complications. Avicii decided to retire from touring in 2016 due to the toll it took on his health and well-being.
The constant pressure to perform and the demanding schedule of a successful DJ took a toll on Avicii’s mental health. He had also battled with depression and anxiety. In the documentary “Avicii: True Stories,” which chronicles his last years, he revealed how the stress and pressure of his lifestyle affected him.
It is believed that Avicii’s death was the result of a culmination of these factors. While the exact details of his final moments have not been fully disclosed, it is known that he took his own life. The loss of such a talented and influential artist sparked conversations about mental health within the music industry and beyond, highlighting the importance of addressing and supporting individuals struggling with similar challenges.
