Avicii fans can now pre-order the official biography of the late dance music legend, which could offer new perspectives on the life of one of the most virtuoso EDM artists of all time.
According to the biography's editor, the biography "paints an honest picture" of Avicii before his tragic death in 2018. The author Måns Mosesson has fleshed out the book based on excerpts from interviews with Avicii's family, friends and colleagues in the music industry.
Avicii committed suicide at the age of 28 after grappling with mental health issues, largely stemming from a grueling touring schedule that reportedly included up to 250 shows a year. He is revered as one of the most gifted melody creators in the world and is responsible for a number of the most popular generational anthems in the EDM genre, such as Levels, which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary.
