Avicii‘s death has affected everyone in the EDM industry. Everyone from Skrillex to Martin Garrix offered words following Avicii’s death. Artists like Luciano have even come out to discuss their own struggles with substance abuse.
Avicii’s death also put a morbid spotlight on True Stories, the documentary about Avicii that released last year. The documentary followed Avicii during his health problems and retirement from touring. Director Levan Tsikurishvili previously said he wanted to capture the true Avicii—Tim Bergling—with True Stories. And a few weeks after Avicii’s death, Tsikurishvili has posted a heartfelt tribute to Avicii.
Tsikurishvili posted the tribute to his Instagram account with a picture of Avicii and two lemurs during a trip to Malaysia. Tsikurishvili describes his experience working with and eventually becoming friends with Avicii while filming True Stories. Prepare your tissues; the post reminds us how Avicii affected people with his music, spirit and pure talent.
