Avicii‘s lasting impact on both the music industry and mental health awareness will be recognized at a special charity auction on October 1, 2024. The auction, organised by Stockholms Auktionsverk, will include 267 personal items from the late DJ and producer, including as apparel, musical equipment, and career souvenirs. All of these offer fans a unique opportunity to engage with Avicii’s legacy in a tangible manner.
Each item in the auction has a narrative, whether it’s the instruments used to create his genre-defining songs or personal clothes that symbolises his distinct style. These objects not only symbolise crucial periods in his life, but also speak to the global public that has remained loyal to his music and message.
The proceeds from the auction will benefit the Tim Bergling Foundation, which his family created in his honour. The foundation’s goal, which focusses on mental health awareness and suicide prevention, reflects Avicii‘s personal problems and desire to assist others suffering similar challenges. This auction not only commemorates his accomplishments, but also demonstrates his dedication to make a difference, ensuring that his legacy continues to positively touch people.
Supporters who participate in this auction will have the rare opportunity to own a piece of Avicii‘s history while also donating to a worthwhile cause. Each piece, whether an instrument that impacted his innovative music or personal memorabilia commemorating his journey, provides a physical link to his legacy. More crucially, the revenues will benefit the Tim Bergling Foundation‘s critical work in mental health awareness and suicide prevention, both of which were very important to Avicii.
This auction is not only about honoring the past, but also about ensuring that Avicii‘s spirit of compassion and creativity continues to inspire and help people in the future.
