LeviF Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 Damn. I knew he had health issues but didn't realize they were that bad.
Royale with Cheese Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 I guess I'm old if I don't know who this is/was?
Mr. ChumChums Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 Sad day - my first rave was in NYC where he performed on New Year's Eve. A 4-hour set... got me hooked on EDM for a while.

Bray Wyatt Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) we were in vegas a couple years ago for my buddys bachelor party and we bought tickets to this pool party where he was supposed to DJ'ing, and then he no-showed Edited April 20, 2018 by Bray Wyatt

boyst Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 That song is pretty catchy. But that video is so damn stupid. Was it drugs?
BadLandsMeanie Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 I saw that. It was a real shock. And a shame.

I got a news alert about it at work and said "some guy name Av-ick-ee died, and three 30 year olds sitting nearby jerked their heads up in unison, repeating "Avicii died?!?!?". Generation gaps..... Anyway, RIP. 1
CowgirlsFan Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 Sad . Way too young. Condolences to his family his friends and his fans.
{::'KayCeeS::} Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 We used to listen to his music opening up the restaurant.... Brew Espresso, turn it on.... Sad.
bbb Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 Somebody under 100 want to tell me what a DJ is these days? 2

Maybe you are one of the Townies without his tat: ◢ ◤ And... Crazy, how does one drink themselves to death by 28. He must have really been throwing them back. "In 2016, Bergling's health deteriorated, and he was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis due to excessive alcohol use." [Oh, BTW... Never heard of him, had to look him up]
Saxum Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 Video is lame but I really like that song when I hear it on radio and I am an "old fart".
