Avicii's family just released a statement regarding his tragic death at the age of 28 last week, and their use of wording makes it sound like the iconic DJ might have taken his own life.
Here's their statement:
- Our beloved Tim was a seeker, a fragile artistic soul searching for answers to existential questions.
An over-achieving perfectionist who travelled and worked hard at a pace that led to extreme stress.
When he stopped touring, he wanted to find a balance in life to be happy and be able to do what he loved most – music.
He really struggled with thoughts about Meaning, Life, Happiness.
He could not go on any longer.
He wanted to find peace.
Tim was not made for the business machine he found himself in; he was a sensitive guy who loved his fans but shunned the spotlight.
Tim, you will forever be loved and sadly missed.
The person you were and your music will keep your memory alive.
The hit maker struggled with anxiety and alcohol issues for years, and eventually stopped touring to get a handle on his problems and focus on his health.
“He was extremely talented. He was always very honest about how he hated being a celebrity. It was very difficult for him emotionally. He was never comfortable being in a social spotlight. Tim was Avicii, but Avicii was never Tim. He was sweet, sensitive and like a guy that didn’t want to be at the party, let alone the reason people were there," a source told People.
"Parties, the scene, leeches instead of friends … it was all too much for his sensitive soul. He wanted to watch movies all night, not party all night. It’s like he didn’t know who he was without his career, but his career was killing him — literally," the source added.
Such a sad ending for such a bright light.
