Publisher's Summary
The intimate biography of the iconic DJ who was lost too soon.
Tim Bergling was a musical visionary who, through his sense for melodies, came to define the era when Swedish and European house music took over the world.
But Tim Bergling was also an introverted and fragile young man who was forced to grow up at an inhumanly fast pace. After a series of emergencies resulting in hospital stays, he stopped touring in the summer of 2016. Barely two years later, he took his own life.
Tim: The Biography of Avicii is written by the award-winning journalist Måns Mosesson, who through interviews with Tim's family, friends and colleagues in the music business has intimately gotten to know the star producer. The book paints an honest picture of Tim and his search in life, not shying from the difficulties that he struggled with.

Excellent portrayal of Tim
A well researched account of the life of Avicii. The tragedy of his death is not glossed over.

Excellent
A harrowing book but a deeply necessary one. This biography really brings up important questions about the music industry, mental health in an increasingly technologised modernity and most interesting for me, the way music is produced now as something which can lead to strange places physiologically and is something that should be investigated further in my opinion. Anyway, I got a lot out of this even though parts of it were challenging to read emotionally. I've never been a big fan of Avicci specifically by I found that I am a fan of Tim.

Loved learning about the musical genius that was Tim
Such an incredibly well written book about the artist Avicii - a very sad ending to the life of the extremely talented musician and producer. Having grown up with his music and actually being present at some of the live gigs mentioned in the book, I found this story very hard to put down. Knowing the ending was difficult, but this book allows you to understand a little better how things got to that point. An important message to spread regarding the effects of opioids and alcohol and the pressure of been famous and trying to navigate the crazy, demanding, intense and relentless world of touring. Also highlighting suicide and the ripple effect it can have on those around you, especially your loved ones. Tim is another example of an artist that struggled to find himself in this world, who constantly battled his own demons and was on a whole other level of musical genius. His music will stand the test of time. RIP Avicii!
