He had such a great career ahead of him, his music is incredible!

I don't think anyone's mentioned this song yet but it's by far my favourite in Avicii's discography.

 

 

It's such a feel good song, it's somewhat cheering me up after this awful news :(

A really lovely tribute by BBC Music:

Forgot Avicii co-produced 'Lovers On The Sun'. Great song which I liked at the time. I wonder why he wasn't credited on it?

if you guys can, I'd recommend watching the True Stories documentary, it really shows a bit what is like being an international superstar DJ and the negative impact it can have too

 

I watched it earlier on the Swedish tv website, it's in English/Swedish with Swedish subtitles but it's easy to understand

it's geo-blocked so you need some s√ftware to mask your IP, like Hola or similar

think it's really worth watching

absolutely devastating and shocking news. it's so sad to see Avicii gone at such a young age. 28. :mellow: so many more years of potential.

 

it is truly amazing the number of people, musicians or otherwise, he has inspired, myself included; and how he revolutionised underground and mainstream electronic dance music, and commercial music in general. all the amazing songs he created in the last ten years, many of which are amongst my all-time favourites. he is without question my favourite producer/composer, and only perhaps Calvin Harris has come close to achieving such greatness in this genre. he had such a talent that will be sorely missed. the uplifting lyrics and euphoric melodies of his music will get me through this but it will always be sad knowing that he will no longer be able to do what he loved most. I had the privilege of watching him do a live DJ set as part of his 'True' tour in London, which was one of the best nights of my life. of course he had retired but I always had in the back of my mind the hope that he'd eventually do a comeback tour or even a festival appearance, and now that definitely will never happen. :(

 

I will be sure to watch the documentary, I believe it is on Netflix, I know that he suffered from alcoholism and health problems, and the fame was perhaps too much for him to handle, maybe this will explain it more. likewise with the death of Amy Winehouse many years ago I thought he had recovered somewhat and was starting to get better and enjoy life a bit more now, so this really comes as a shock. I very much hope we will get to hear some of the unreleased music he has, but only when the time is right and if he'd have wanted to release it.

 

I will miss him always. thoughts go to all his other fans especially those on this forum, his family and anyone who knew him personally. :(

 

RIP.

 

:cry: :cry: :cry:

aside; thank you to anyone wishing me well, I have received some lovely PMs too. I was at work during my break last night when I found out the news and I barely had enough time to process the news, let alone make any comment. I assure you all that I am fine, other than being very sad of course.

 

let it be known though that this is not just a loss for me, but for music in general. all the tributes by other DJs on social media and fans on Buzzjack have been great to see, so much love. :heart:

Dan those words perfectly sum up Avicii and his legacy :heart: he truly is such an inspirational legend and thank god that is gonna live on through his music

I felt compelled to log in for the first time in a while because of this news. One of the main reasons I joined Buzzjack was to participate in the dance forum and my favorite artist at the time was Avicii. I've been a huge fan of him since Seek Bromance and it just feels surreal. I just want to say thank you to Avicii for inspiring me and thank you for everybody who's impacted me in one way or another on here.

 

And of course, thank you so much for the tribute Dan. I'm happy to hear you are doing ok. We haven't talked in years but you were the first person I thought of when I heard the news.

Lovely tribute there Dan (and glad to see you're alright & posting again). One of the most disappointing things for me is that I never saw him perform live & like you expected he would eventually return in a festival appearance etc. It's kinda made me think how I should always jump at opportunities of the sorts for seeing artists perform as you never know when they'll stop/be unable to and then you've missed the boat :(

Much respect Dan. When I first joined this forum, you were possibly the first poster I really recognised as a regular face, thanks in no small part to your vocal fandom of Avicii's music. Glad to hear that you got to see him live at one point, often the chance can just never arise until it's too late.

Dan that’s a really very lovely and touching tribute. It’s clear for anyone to see the positive impact he’s had on you and many others in our generation.

I’m still finding it so surreal that this has actually happened... he was only 28 years old and, no matter what he suffered through, that is far too young for anything like this to happen to him :(

 

Dan I feel so much sadness for you as well as respect, Avicii is one of those legendary names in music which only come about once in a lifetime and has inspired so so many people around the world. His impact on the music industry alone will always be felt and I just... can’t believe it.

Thanks Midge :D Is it too late to add 'Silhouettes' to this playlist?

 

This might be my favorite. So underrated

Waiting For Love is also missing! :(

Dan :wub:

 

That's such an amazing and touching tribute. As much as this news was devastated for you and all of us, I am glad you had a chance and opportunity to see him live :love:

 

Take care buddy.

 

This might be my favorite. So underrated

This is one of my faves, absolutely love it! :wub: This, I Could Be The One (I always forget how good this is and didn't appreciate it until a couple of years later), Lay Me Down, Lonely Together and his production on Collide (which ik is just his song Penguin but I prefer it with Leona singing it) are his big moments for me.

Music Video for I Could Be The One was such a theme for my department during my work in Afghanistan :heart:. It felt like it was dedicated to us and our work life (12 hours a day, 7 days a week). We couldn't wait for the time to escape to vacation lol.

 

Literally we would watch it over and over again and never it failed to put a smile in my and co-worker faces :D.
