[BoomerD]

I'm stunned that so many people listen to that trash...

 

[SKORPI0]

Ouch, he had some nice songs with meaningful lyrics.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Didn't read the story, I am going with drugs.

i'm stunned some people can't tell a sick beat from a suck beat

I would say this is because you are old. But I personally know some 70+ folks that appreciate modern music/don't tear down things that are foreign to them

 

[deadlyapp]

Just saw this as well. I got into the EDM scene because of his poppyness although have shied away from his style as of late. Crazy and sad that he's died at such a young age, but I suspect stardom and the "scene" is what took him.

Sounds like he had stopped doing live shows a couple years ago because of health reasons (pancreatitis is mentioned)

 

[BD231]

Ohhhhh, so he killed himself.

CALLED IT.

 

[Bubbleawsome]

He also had pretty serious health issues, so it could be that.

Sad news, never really listened to his music but he apparently touched a lot of people. 28 is too young. I'd assume drugs too, but never know.

 

[SearchMaster]

A year too late for the 27 club...

 

[Not So Mild]

Spotify already has a playlist about him. Kind of crazy how fast they work.

I'm sure it's like notable public figures in the news - they already have pre-written obituaries for them to use as templates in the event of an untimely passing.

 

[Kaido]

Wow, 28? I had no idea he was so young.

RIP man. "Wake me up" was just on my workout playlist.

My bro in law just texted me about this. Very sad to hear. Some of his songs are some of my favorites. I absolutely LOVE Levels, that song gives me goose bumps every time I hear it. And then his newer songs Hey Brother and Don't Wake Me Up are fantastic too. Can't believe how young he was...

 

[Skunk-Works]

Hey Brother is a great song. A lot of famous people are dropping like rocks again just like last year, and well, the year before. If you ask me, I think Robin Williams started this.

Due to depression, not really.. how about Vincent Van Gogh 1890?

I guess he got tired of making standard crap music.
I like house music, but most of his music i do not like, i find it repulsive.
With one exception. (There is always an exception ^_^ ) :

I can stands this, but it is more because of Aloe BLacc than the music from avicii.
