Rip aivicii one of the best musician//DJ around will be sadly missed
Was it some sort of DiscoBiscuit that claimed him?
Rest in peace we will miss you 🙁
How or why does that matter?
If by asking for a source you are questioning is it true as there are a lot of hoax celeb death news floating around, I’m sorry to say but sadly this one is true :'(. It was on both BBC News, ITV news, The Guardian has also covered it along with numerous other papers.
I can’t believe it myself, Avicii was so young, and in his short life he did so many great tunes. Possibly one of my favourites is Waiting For Love and the animated lyric video of the dog trying to find his master – simply a superb video. Then there is his other song – Levels so good on so many levels, Hey Brother and Wake Me Up.
Rest in peace Avicii – hopefully you’ve now woke up in the next life, and have found yourself even though you didn’t know you were lost…
Rest In Peace, so sorry for your struggle and your familys loss x
God bless rest in peace beautiful soul thinking of the family at this very sad time x
