Avicii, born Tim Bergling, tragically passed away in 2018 at the age of 28. His family established the Tim Bergling Foundation to honor his legacy and advocate for mental health, particularly among young people. This summer, the Foundation partnered with Swedish students on a mental health initiative called Dance For Life to promote suicide awareness.

For fans wishing to revisit Avicii’s journey from a bedroom producer to an EDM legend, his story is explored in a recent documentary titled I’m Tim, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in June.
