After Tim’s family confirmed a posthumous Avicii album which will be released this June, with the first single titled ‘SOS’ already released and has gained millions of streams thus far. The family have just confirmed that a new biography about Tim’s life will be released with all profits going towards their charity which was created in Tim’s honor. Swedish journalist Måns Mosesson has confirmed that he will write a full biography on the life of Avicii, entitled ‘né Tim Bergling’, will be finished and published in 2020. Mosesson also said that he will provide an “honest portrait that doesn’t shy away from the difficulties that Tim experienced.”
When you’re one of the most recognizable DJ’s and producers in the world, when you’ve sold millions of records, had billions of downloads and 11 billion streams, bested the globe’s biggest stages, and worked your way from upstart to celebrated icon, your life looks like a blockbuster movie — from the outside.
On the inside, Tim Bergling, aka Avicii, who is naturally shy, struggled with life on the road. Even as international chart toppers “LE7ELS” and “Wake Me Up” catapulted him to brighter stardom, he became an ever more elusive character of dance music myth. His announcement that he was retiring from touring in mid-2016 sent shock waves through the community, but the silver lining was a renewed conviction, inspired energy, and much more time to get back to what Avicii does best – create music. “My new year’s resolution is to make the best damn album of my career,” he tweeted at the start of 2017.
