Summary

The intimate biography of the iconic DJ who was lost too soon. 

Tim Bergling was a musical visionary who, through his sense for melodies, came to define the era when Swedish and European house music took over the world. 

But Tim Bergling was also an introverted and fragile young man who was forced to grow up at an inhumanly fast pace. After a series of emergencies resulting in hospital stays, he stopped touring in the summer of 2016. Barely two years later, he took his own life. 

Tim: The Biography of Avicii is written by the award-winning journalist Måns Mosesson, who through interviews with Tim's family, friends and colleagues in the music business has intimately gotten to know the star producer. The book paints an honest picture of Tim and his search in life, not shying from the difficulties that he struggled with. 

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Sensitively written….

A sad outcome to a beautiful life, with an otherwise uplifting story for all those left behind, to understand the all to common stigma of silence, in a world where too many feel isolated and alone. Thank you Tim.

well read

this was the first auto book that I've ever listened to, so for the first time I thought it was well read and consistent throughout.
Such a crazy life this young man Tim had, especially in such a short time.

This broke my heart

It’s taken me a few days since finishing this to write this review, as it just left me feeling so overwhelmingly sad.

Just a young boy who was catapulted to fame, and at the mercy of a very demanding and toxic industry. As a mum myself, I can’t imagine what his parents must feel following his death.

It was well written and a brilliant insight into the world of addiction, recovery and mental health. What a brilliant, beautiful and fascinating soul he was. I hope he has finally found peace.

Insightful, and interesting human story - loved it!

A wonderful thoughtful book about a life lived, loved and lost. The narrator conveys the words brilliantly and creates colourful pictures of Tim and the life he lead. The way that the songs are woven into the timeline made me realise how much Aviciis music influenced me in my life. A sadly missed genius from the world of music.

Incredible

So incredibly written and narrated, thank you to everyone that made this book happen. A huge gap has been created, but this book helps explain things a little better. It's so hard to comprehend.

Eye-opening story of a true inspiration

Loved Tim's music and melodies and his music has been a big part of my DJ career. I finally took the time to listen to this, and it was a very emotional, yet fantastic, story about Tim, his life, and his unfortunate struggles. Thanks!

A great insight into the chaotic life of Tim

This was a well researched & executed book. I grew up listening to Avicii and always knew he was a special producer. Everything he touched turned into gold!

It's also another fine example of the importance of being true to yourself. All the money and fame in the world is not enough if you are not fulfilling your life's mission.
