Last weekend, a bad news shocked the world. Avic died in Muscat, Oman, at the age of 28.
Who is he? ——Avicic Avicii, formerly known as Tim Bergling, born on September 8, 1989 in Stockholm, Sweden, is the world's top DJ and music producer, the famous "A god", is a god-like existence in the circle.
Avic's representative works include Level, Wake Me Up, Without You, Waiting For Love, etc. His work breaks down the barriers of the musical genre and brings electronic music to the world's major charts, knowing that no top DJ has ever been able to break into the world of mainstream pop music before him. And Avicz did it, he did a great job, he became a well-deserved pioneer, he turned EDM music (electronic dance music) into one of the focal points of world pop music.
He was the kind of man who was born for music, prolific and of high quality, and he said, "We all look for a point in trivial life and immortal cause that gives us an idea of what is most important." For me, creating music is the meaning of my life, the value of survival. He has collaborated with many of the world's top artists, including Madonna, and has also collaborated with Wang Lihong on "Forget Me" in the Chinese music scene.
As soon as the news of Avic's death came out, it caused a sensation in the entire entertainment industry, and everyone couldn't believe it. Many DJs and singers have posted blogs to commemorate the bad news, shocked and saddened by the bad news.
Fellow DJ friend Kygo even paid tribute to Avic at the Coachella Festival that night (how sad it must have been).
Fans have also mourned Avic in their own way, which is sincerely touching.
Thousands of fans gathered in Stockholm, Sweden, on Saturday for a dance party. Everyone jumped along with Avich's many classics, but many people had tears in their eyes.
And just today, the latest official statement released by authoritative media such as Variety confirmed that Avicic committed suicide. In the first statement, his family also confirmed that Avich died because of his life: "Our favorite Tim is an explorer, a fragile artistic soul, constantly searching for the meaning and answers of survival, he lives everywhere, works hard, and has long been in a state of extreme stress because of excessive pursuit of perfection." ”
"He wants to find balance between a happy life and his favorite music. He has been engaged in a struggle of ideas: meaning, life and happiness. He couldn't go on like this anymore, he wanted to find that peace. ”
Young and famous, Aivich continued to tour the world, and everywhere he went, the venue was full, enjoying the cheers and applause of thousands of people. According to fan statistics, in the five years from 2012 to 2016, he participated in a total of 220 performances in 261 weeks. Such intense work brought him more than $75 million, but at the expense of his health.
In his own documentary, Avicii: True Stories, it can be seen that Avicic can work sleeplessly, even skipping meals. He even had to do nothing for 60 hours straight, shut himself in the studio, and sit with his head bowed to get back to his form.
And his shy and introverted personality makes him need the help of alcohol to find himself before each stage performance, and Avic also mentioned: "I never hide, and those who work with me and know me know that I have anxiety disorders." I didn't expect that someone would force me to do more performances. ”
In 2016, Avicic announced that he would leave the stage after the tour, saying: "They saw how uncomfortable I was when I performed, but I was under a lot of pressure when I wanted to retire. I've told them I can't play anymore, I've said 'I'm going to die' and I've said it many times. So I don't want to hear what other people say should be considered for another show. ”
In fact, before announcing his retirement, in addition to psychological problems, Avic also suffered from a variety of physical diseases, including acute pancreatitis caused by excessive alcohol consumption. In 2014 he had his appendix and gallbladder removed.
Physical pain may be curable, but what kind of mental pressure and darkness will choose to end their lives by suicide?
Aivich began to create at the age of 17, became a global hit at the age of 22, announced his retirement at the age of 26, and died forever at the age of 28. His life is like opening a plug-in, everything happens too fast. The impression of him has always been the shy big boy wearing jeans and a board hat, standing behind the DJ stand, smiling shyly, and calling the audience to wave together from time to time, this time, he has gone too far.
Chinese fans call Aivich "Ace Pigeon King", because he has never really performed in China so far, whether it is an electric syllable festival or a predetermined itinerary in a nightclub, he has released pigeons.
This time, the fan said, "The ace pigeon is forever pigeon." Well, he was tired too. ”
However, according to sources from the record company, Aivich had completed the production of an entire album before his death. This is Avich's last gift to everyone.
Now, in heaven, Aivich must also hope that people will dance to the music and rhythms he left for the world.
