Det går inflation i hjärtekrossande nedläggningar nu. Först meddelar Kent att de slutar efter i år – och nu följer Avicii efter.
På sin Facebook-sida skriver Tim Bergling, mer känd som Avicii, ett brev till världen och sina fans. I det tackar han en herrans massa personer, och utvecklar varför han har bestämt sig för att pensionera Avicii-projektet.
"Thank you for letting me fulfil so many of my dreams. I will be forever grateful to have experienced and accomplished all that I have with the help of the team around me and my beloved fans. Thank you to all my peers in the business for building a new movement that took the world by storm and I was lucky enough to be in the middle of it. Thank you to all my partners through the years who believed in what I have created and wanted to amplify my work to a truly global presence.

My path has been filled with success but it hasn’t come without its bumps. I’ve become an adult while growing as an artist, I’ve come to know myself better and realize that there’s so much I want to do with my life. I have strong interests in different areas but there’s so little time to explore them.
Two weeks ago, I took the time to drive across the U.S. with my friends and team, to just look and see and think about things in a new way. It really helped me realize that I needed to make the change that I’d been struggling with for a while.
My choices and career have never been driven by material things, although I’m grateful for all the opportunities and comforts my success has availed me. I know I am blessed to be able to travel all around the world and perform, but I have too little left for the life of a real person behind the artist.
I will however never let go of music - I will continue to speak to my fans through it, but I’ve decided this 2016 run will be my last tour and last shows. Let’s make them go out with a bang!
One part of me can never say never, I could be back ...but I won’t be right back.
Yours forever,
Tim Bergling / Avicii
P.S. I've got a new phone so you can text me re all this +46769436383. Please bare with me I might not be super quick to reply but I'll read every text. X"
Varför han väljer att lämna ut sitt (gamla) telefonnummer är något oklart. Vila i frid, Avicii.
