Rest In Peace Avicii

April 20, 2018 by Theo Maulen

It may be a bit of late at this point – for me to break news at least – but I think it would fault ByTheWavs to not mention this unfortunate incident.  On April 20th, 2018, it was announced that Tim Bergling, well known as either Tim Berg or Avicii, passed away at the age of 28.

On Friday, his publicist Diana Baron said in a statement: “It is with profound sorrow that we announce the loss of Tim Bergling, also known as Avicii[…]He was found dead in Muscat, Oman this Friday afternoon local time, April 20th. The family is devastated and we ask everyone to please respect their need for privacy in this difficult time. No further statements will be given.”

I am not going to comment on the reason for him passing away, I am not going to bring up any rumors, nor am I going to be sad.  I am going to thank Avicii.  He was my first live performance that I saw.  Shoutout the 2011 collaboration he had with Ralph Lauren’s Denim & Supply Co.

He is the reason I started writing for this site when it was EDMAssassin, he is the reason I have traveled to Miami by car for Ultra and why I have gone to as many festivals and shows as I have.  Avicii is the entry way artist for so many EDM fans today.  He is to be thanked, praised and celebrated – Not morned.

The morning will be done.  I am not going to say don’t be sad.  But remember the joy. Avicii was a great performer, DJ, and producer.  He was the role model for performers and attendees alike.

I am also not, at this time, going to give you a background history of Avicii.  What I am going to do is provide you with some music.  I am going to add music I loved, music others loved, and music that has been compiled to celebrate Avicii.  I will also add some tweets from those of fame and those on twitter celebrating and thanking the man who brought EDM to so many…

Rest in Paradise In Peace, Tim.

Tim, since day one you’ve been one of my biggest inspirations to make dance music. You put Sweden on the map with the most memorable melodies in the world. I wish I could have said a few last words to you before you left this place. Millions of people will remember you forever. pic.twitter.com/oj06UoAxyK

Incredibly sad to hear of @Avicii ‘s passing. When I was a kid, he was a huge influence on my interest in music production. While Levels was a megahit, his talent showed when he moved from such an iconic sound to a variety of genre shifts within his own style. Thank you, Tim.

Tim, we didn't know you but you poured a profound influence into the electronic scene. Gone too soon but never forgotten- our dad & stepmom's wedding song is sky full of stars so on a personal level, you were always associated with so much love in our family. Rest in peace ❤️

RIP Avicii. Remember to tell the people you love how you feel everyday

Something really horrible happened. We lost a friend with such a beautiful heart and the world lost an incredibly talented musician. Thank you for your beautiful melodies, the time we shared in the studio, playing together as djs or just enjoying life as friends.
