Swedish DJ Avicii retires from shows
– Popular Swedish DJ and producer, Avicii has announced that he’d no longer be going on tour
or performing at shows.
In a lengthy post on Facebook,
Avicii, whose real name is Tim Bergling, started
off by thanking a host of people, before proceeding to explain his decision.
He wrote: “My path has been filled with success but it hasn’t
come without its bumps. I’ve become an adult while growing as an artist, I’ve
come to know myself better and realize that there’s so much I want to do with
my life. I have strong interests in different areas but there’s so little time
to explore them.
Two weeks ago, I took the time to drive across the U.S. with my
friends and team, to just look and see and think about things in a new way. It
really helped me realize that I needed to make the change that I’d been
struggling with for a while.
My choices and career have never been driven by material things,
although I’m grateful for all the opportunities and comforts my success has
availed me. I know I am blessed to be able to travel all around the world and
perform, but I have too little left for the life of a real person behind the
artist.
I will however never let go of music – I will continue to speak
to my fans through it, but I’ve decided this 2016 run will be my last tour and
last shows. Let’s make them go out with a bang!
One part of me can never say never, I could be back …but I won’t
be right back.”
