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.

Such a sad book
I appreciate the opportunity to familiarize myself with such intimate parts of his life, although it is my understanding that not everything in the book is factually correct. Moreover, it’s not written very well.

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.

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.

Great insight to Tim’s Life.
As a super fan of Avicii I have already read this book when it was realised. I wanted to listen to this audiobook so I didn’t miss anything.
You can really vision everything described in the story and if you have seen a Avicii True Stories a lot of what’s shown there is described in more detail here. I cried for the second time after reading this story. All proceedings go to the Tim Bergling Foundation also which is another reason why I chose to listen to this Biography again.
If you are not familiar with Tim, this story will make you fall in love with his personality and his talent 🙂

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.

Engaging. But there must be more
I found this an engaging and quite thought provoking piece. The wonders of modern technology made it in very easy for me to listen to some of the songs as they were discussed in the text. I’ve done this when reading the biographies of poets, but never in the case of a composer like Tim. I’d recommend it.
This seems to me to be something of a hagiography as much as a biography. Perhaps I am wrong. I came to the text with no knowledge whatever of the young musician. His songs and life story are no doubt vey familiar to my own, now grown up children, not so to me.
I liked the book. I’m glad I listened. I found the music wonderful too. But all the same, having come to the end of the book, I’m left feeling that what I have listened to is a very incomplete story. There must be more.
