While the dance music community is showing its support to Hardwell as he announces a touring hiatus to focus on himself, Deadmau5 is up to his old tricks. Today Hardwell announced that he will be stopping all shows effective immediately, with one exception, for the foreseeable future.
As we can’t escape the comparisons to Avicii, whose first birthday since passing is tomorrow, the community is largely supportive of his decision.
Of course Joel Zimmerman couldn’t help himself and poked a little fun at Robbert, as he frequently did with Avicii.
oh hi guys, quick note here, just letting you guys know that i’ve stopped what im doing so that i can do what im doing anyway. thanks for your support.

The tweet is a riff on Hardwell’s message, and there is certainly a little humor in it. We know that Deadmau5 likes to troll, but let’s just assume it comes from a good place.
