Remembering Avicii On What Would Have Been His 31st Birthday

Recommended Posts

In the annals of lives cut too soon, Avicii is a powerful name. Though he managed to barely miss the 27 club, it made no difference in changing the fact that he likely had so much more to give in what would have been a legendary life. He died April 20, 2018 and left behind an inimitable legacy.

In death, he left behind the Tim Bergling Foundation, advocating for the recognition of suicide as a global health emergency. His father, Klaus Bergling, has been instrumental in spreading a message of positivity and the memory of his son.

Today would have been Avicii’s 31st birthday. Nicky Romero, David Guetta, and more have posted remembrances of him today. Today also begins the Avicii Birthday Tribute for Mental Health Awareness on SiriusXM’s BPM channel, which happens to fall on Suicide Prevention Week. Read more about that here.

That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
