It has been over 6 years since we lost our friend Avicii. His music inspired millions worldwide and still lives on in our hearts today. Many stories have been brought to light about Tim’s struggles over the years. If you watched his documentary, you would see he didn’t like DJing and the pressure that came with it. He struggled with the never-ending touring schedule as well as health complications from alcohol abuse.
This year, a new documentary following the rise and fall of Avicii debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival, providing new insights into his life as well as reigniting the public interest in his final days. Now, new details have emerged from his final phone call to his family before his unfortunate passing. Tim had previously stated that his time in rehab, “were my true vacations, as depressing as it might sound.”
His final trip was to Oman with a friend. Tim would refuse to eat, speak, or take refuge from the sun, a concern that caused the friend to call the producer’s father worried.
During the trip, his mental state deteriorated, and Avicii called another family member. The phone call was said to be so depressing, that the individual immediately left Sweden, taking a plane to Oman in hopes of reaching Tim. Unfortunately, the plane landed two hours after he had already taken his own life.
We hope he is finally able to rest in peace.
