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.

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
