Who?

That's a dickish thing to say. Even if you don't know who he was, a simple condolences or nonresponse would have sufficed.

Avicii's debut album got me through a lot and a lot of long nights at my first job out of college.

It's sad to see how the lifestyle unfortunately consumed him over the last few years. He's only a few months younger than me, scary. Perhaps it's a wakeup call to everyone in the industry, from fans to entertainers.

Clearly Avicii has had a significant impact on many people's lives. I'm sure this must be a difficult time for his friends and family.

RIP.

Never liked his music. Just not m type of music.
But he clearly had a lot of talent and success. I respect that.

Always sad to see someone go at that age. RIP

It'll never happen. That lifestyle is too stressful. People think the dream life is to be famous and rich. I'd hate it. Well actually I'd like to be normal and rich lol. But to have so much clout that you cant even walk out your house would cause me so much anxiety that I cant live like a normal person, maybe it's just me. NHL players has it best, they're so average looking with average height most of them go unnoticed for the most part, unless they're true superstars or you got an ugly mug like Ovechkin LOL. I'd hate to be famous.
