Thank you for bringing up a life story that has touched, and will continue to touch, many people. Every time I listen to his music, I am amazed at how much optimism and beauty and hope was in it, yet it did not heal his own inner turmoil. As someone who is familiar with the mental difficulties he faced, I know how hard it is to maintain balance, especially if there is external pressure. My only hope is that his music will continue to bring solace to people. Art is a transformative tool which can inspire and heal in beautiful ways and it is his legacy to the world.

Thank you, Tali, for these beautiful words. I'm happy to see it touched someone here. It was heartbreaking to hear the news here in Sweden.

After this, they changed the name of our greatest concert hall to Avicii Arena. There was a beautiful concert in his honour, with then a 14-year-old girl (Ella Tiritiello) singing on the rooftop of the Arena. You can see it on YouTube.

Also, the family created a foundation for mental health. https://www.youtube.com/@TimBerglingFoundation

Thank you for sharing the link with me. I'm blind, but I have a line of designs I am creating with the help of a friend who is a graphic designer. Each one honours an artist or art work that inspired me. I'm currently working on one for Tim and I truly hope that when I upload it and start selling it, I can give a share to the foundation. It will be such an honour to know that people can find help thanks to this wonderful foundation.
