ReidOne 12,427 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 This is crazy... One of the biggest names in EDM is retiring from live performance at the age of 26 for health reasons. As many of you likely know, Avicii has had lots of health problems the last few years, presumably from his hard drinking lifestyle. It looks like instead of continuing to put himself in a drug-fueled culture, he's finally made the decision to prioritize his health and walk away from the literally millions of dollars he could make over the next few years of gigs. I say, great for him!! It's a wise move. But sad for dance music fans... I got to see him live a couple times in his hey day (2011-2012) and they are some of my all-time greatest memories of going to live shows. We'll miss you Avicii!

ReidOne 12,427 Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 BTW, while I'm simultaneously stanning for Kanye's "Fade" I also have to mention that Avicii included one of the same tunes that Kanye sampled for "Fade" on his 'Strictly Miami' mix album a few years back... "I Get Lifted" by Barbara Tucker. I can't help but make these connections, lol. Blame my OCD. "I get lifted, ooohh... I get lifted, YES!" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipper 13,077 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Well, hope he stays away from the alcohol, go to AA meetings or rehab, and live a healthier lifestyle. (avoid drugs, kids) All that money is useless if: 1. You are not healthy. 2. You are not happy. If you are healthy and happy, most people could just work for money and not care too much about it. Sadly, in this life people just want want want and there is this never rnding greed for more. 🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope that he is truly getting healthy and it doesn't become an excuse for him to isolate himself and just keep drinking behind closed doors (50/50 for alcoholics, which route they would take in this situation). Hoping the best for him! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMonster 1,037 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Then in 2-3 more years! "Avicii Returns!" Huge headline and cover. Bookmark me. Hopefully he uses this off time to work on himself. Though I doubt he's truly done FOREVER. I like him for the most part but my fav is Kaskade and P46 so I'm ok. Redux Brooklyn in Sept! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
