A tribute to Avicii

Let's make sure we all remember and honour Avicii. The best way to do that is to keep his legacy alive. Listen to his music, watch his videos, watch the documentary and tell your friends, tell your parents, tell your kids about this amazing guy Tim, aka Avicii that had such an amazing influence and was such a lovely sweet hardworking kid but also tell everyone about his mistakes so we can all do better…

Many listened to Avicii, few listened to Tim...now you can finally rest 🙏

[@yash_kirnapure4528]

Wow! What a selection of words 🙏

[@clemslize]

I talked with him for some years.. I was 14 and started producing tracks, and he encouraged me because of my age. It's so crazy to imagine one second he's away now.. He used to give me tips, feedback, solutions, and kept saying work will pay one day. I will never stop thanking him for what he's done for me, and I can say one thing: he was such a good person. We miss you Tim...

[@EvanLikesCake]

Clemslize wow man..I would’ve loved to tell him how much I loved his music..

[@wellhelltherefellwhuman4637]

I would do anything to hear from him! If I met him I'd literally just sit and listen to whatever he has to tell me. That's amazing, man. Hold onto those memories with him forever.

[@leonardourbanavicius]

@@wellhelltherefellwhuman4637 we are 2

[@shrineofbeats6447]

You're very lucky to have met him.

[@StanfordtheArtist]

You probably know I said this before but still I’ll say it again Luke: The way you tutor, show, educate, AND use your position in the dancemusic industry is very VERY respectable. Oh 1 thing: Don’t be afraid to show emotion (eg tears), for they too, are part of life... Bless, S. #manhug

[@pippaDlightful]

djmcStanford Respectful comment ⚘

[@StanfordtheArtist]

Thanx Pippa! :)

[@babagjan3835]

My wife and me watched the documentary two days before Tim passed away. It were so devasting news, cause after we watched it on netflix, i thought to myself how great it was that he found his peace of mind. sincerest condolences , luke!

[@armaanr8169]

Babag Jan damn dude. that is scary. must have been traumatic

[@jostevi5844]

Avicii should have stay in the studio wasn’t cut out for touring he is a legend well done for making this avicii will live on in his music

[@edbangerrr1489]

Only LBL would take time out of his busy schedule to create, record, edit and post this kind of tribute. If anyone's voice should be heard in regards to the scene it should be Luke's! Thank you for being such a driving force in dance music and just an awesome human being in general. R.I.P. Avicii

[@luismachado8489]

Well said 👍👍👍

[@nestormachado2247]

Crazy how he opened for you in 2009 and you opened for him years later in Ibiza. Great vlog Luke. RIP Tim, you’ll be missed!

[@DJELPSS]

God bless you Luke. Without you, we would most likely have not heard all the amazing moving and melodic tunes from Avicii. Thanks for what you and him have been, still are, and forever will be to the scene.

[@rofofc]

hey man, dont ever feel like you cant cry. we're all humans and we all have emotions. Sending much love

[@DjChomanOffical]

RIP AVICII :( Thanks For Tribute LaidBack Luke

[@01spec]

Avicii’s Levels renewed my love for dance music and djiing. Rest easy bro...

[@chromaentertainment5029]

Stress, anxiety, and peer pressure are huge impacts on life. I am on my second deployment right now with the US Navy and go through different stress every day. Just like Luke said, we all have friends, families, and people in this world that are here to make our life amazing. We need to remember to take a step back once in a while to remember that.

[@juanjulianflorescrenier410]

Stopped listening to Avicii a couple of years ago but it's amazing to look back to his records and realize that almost every track he made was a piece of art that affected so many people in so many different ways! 'Seek Bromance' still gives me the chills and will forever be in my heart. Much respect to Tim.

[@trailblazers6140]

What a sad lose. Such a talent. Avicii we will miss you so much, you impacted me personally introducing me to Edm. And thank you Luke for making this tribute video.

[@osm02468]

People will remember you for your life you live not money you make . Aviici 😢

[@osm02468]

Coco Jambo I know that what i tell

[@wellhelltherefellwhuman4637]

Luke is a fvcking legend. I hope I get to meet him one day and just talk to him...

[@x50music]

I've been listening to him since his remix of new new new in 2009ish, his melodies and music in general helped me through so much, what a tragic loss, RIP Avicii. Loved the vlog, thank you for the tribute and thank you for giving him a shot and helping him in the early days Luke, super awesome of you to take the time and do that, we all love and appreciate you

[@LAlindquist]

That remix may be my favorite Avicii track :o)

[@x50music]

Paul Lindquist I agree, it's so catchy and uplifting, still gives me goosebumps

[@egbertjeeeee]

Yup same for me, been a fan ever since hearing that masterpiece

[@dzb0505]

Even me. Since 2009 :(

[@nathanwayne7834]

I've been listening to Avicii since his "Sunshine" track with David Guetta on Guetta's "Nothing But The Beat 2.0" album, and I had no idea this was the stress he was going through. RIP, Tim. I'll do exactly what this vlog says and keep the memory alive!

[@joytiger3642]

I think he was searching love and stability. Pure love nothing else

[@89emeza]

Rest in peace Tim. Thank you for everything..

[@BrianFernandez1]

I have been going through addiction, anxiety, depression and stress for the last 6 years. Avicii's music made me forget about all of those things and appreciate what I have in front of me. I love your vlogs man. Keep up the amazing work. #RIPAvicii. We all love you brother.

[@EricTorres713]

That's awesome Laidback Luke! So glad you're still finding talent through your forums. Crazy how if you just give someone a chance they can be the next BIG thing...

[@wirek89]

Anxiety sucks, I know from experience. My friend once said, people are unhappy despite fortunes and fame because they don't believe in nothing. Big loss, but Tim is a legend and his legacy will live.

[@EddyMolina]

His Silhoutte will forever remain with everyone!

[@edmnomad]

*Rest in peace legend* Your music will never die 😢😢😢

[@timwango5047]

Sorry for your loss. Just started teaching and I cannot imagine what it feels like to lose a good student who graduates and becomes a friend... Keep up the great work.

[@kossolmusic4725]

I was so shocked when I first heard of this message! :/ Avicii was and still is one of my biggest inspirations 🎶I literally watched his studio session with "Future Music Magazine" more than 10 times just to learn new things, learn about his workflow and see what he is doing in Fl Studio. I loved his music specially his melodies and how he changed the music industry. Sadly one of my biggest dreams: To meet Tim in person and to speak to him will never be fulfilled. I'm still thankful for everything he did and hope that his music will never stop inspiring people!! 🎶 May Tim "Avicii" rest in peace 🎶🎶 Hope you guys think the same about this! #RipAvicii 🙏

[@AndersonFilippi]

To live without passion its not live, its just to exist. Luke you are a living proof that its possible to get both. Thank you for sharing your time, your life and your feelings with us. You are an example of professional and of person to me. RIP AVICII

[@slendr2435]

Its still unbelievable... he was one of those producers that always had a story in his tracks...tribute from a legend to another legend! Would love to meet you one day! You are such a humble and wise man! Love from Switzerland with our deepest condolences

[@josenicolasalcarazalvarez1312]

There is no otheer like Lucas Van Schippingen, and ceertainly, there will be no one like Timmy Timmy Timmy Berling (listening to Desiigner´s Timmy Turner). Luke, you are the best DJ in the world, it doesnt matter what magazines and popularity polls say. #1 DJ in the world means more than having 10 hits going #1 on Beatport or Spinning Recs or being the best paid DJ 6 times in a row, or selling completely to the Elite. TO be #1 DJ in the world is just what you and only you do: To become a talent scout, musician, producer, blogger and Vlogger, CEO at your own record label, host of your own radio show, mixmaster, entretainer, preserver of the DJ culture and caring about the comunnity, being a mentor for future generations, being honest about every aspect of the DJ carrer and what is most important: SHARING IT. You were close to Avicii and also experienced how is to be living on the edge, yourself back in the day. My only question still is : If everyone claimed to be as close as Avicii as you really were, why the hell nobody played his new songs this year? Just a few played Without You, but the EP was 6 songs and at time of death, at least other 2 songs were certifed singles..Lonely Together and the best song of the record: YOU BE LOVE. Why nobody played this songs on their sets, as for what I read, all reviews on his 01-AVICI EP that I recall, said it was excellent. My other question is: why do you never talk about trance when you refer to generes? Support, Love and Respect form Tijuana, Mexico.,

[@saxy15]

Thank you for your tribute. Hard to believe he's been gone a year now.

[@Arvid2022]

I've been dealing with depression and I was pretty messed up until I told my family and they were really supportive and made sure I got help. So great message about speaking up LL. There are always someone how wants to help you.

[@dedbit6723]

Ever since I started watching your vlogs, I realised what kind of lifestyle you have to go through and then when Avicii (may he rest in peace) passed away I immediately thought to myself how many more DJ's are there that are going through this right now as well? I don't want see another great loss like that, at least not a young one. It's true what you said Luke, people need to speak up about what's troubling them, I want to see DJ's talk to one another about hardships like that and support each other. The veterans should teach the young talent not just the skills but the difficulties that come with being a major performer. I wish nothing but the best of things and strength to all the DJ's out there

[@djmedoz]

You are such a mentor Luke, Respect. god bless you man

[@user-rq1he5ho1j]

I've just join in the DJ industrial not long ago… and the hardest part is 30% of my tracts avicii… when i got the news he passed away… i drop my tears while I'm at the middle of my gig… He is such a talented young boy… i will always set you and him as my DJ goal… Thank you avicii for all your lovely and sweet music… you're always in my mind…

[@Jenna12306]

Thank you Luke for taking the time to talk to people about anxieties and stress. I feel like it’s super important to remind people about resources. It speaks numbers to me as far as making music and reminding what’s important. You are my favorite Dj. I hope to be successful as you one day.

[@peaceandlove6548]

It’s not about money and fame. Family and health is what’s important. I’ve struggled with anxiety like so many people, and in the back of your head you know you’re not alone, but it’s always nice when you hear someone say it. Thank you for this. ✌️

[@blueberrymusic4580]

Peace and Love kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXjLYn-hf5qFnKc i make a video tribute avicii whit song if you like see

[@giordanobucciarelli8040]

Thank you for helping raise a legend. If you didn't we wouldn't have heard his beautiful messages. Thank you

[@stephenward2743]

Powerful video Luke, thanks. Rest is peace Tim.

[@Timesplitter777]

Well Spoken Luke. A touching tribute that sheds a lot of light on the matter

[@Dinara1up]

You found avicii. You are god

[@SaimMirza.]

illiterate piece of shit.. He's not God

[@zenekk1010]

Dude wtf

[@wartem]

Ash took him and destroyed him

[@mrbetone7228]

wartem You can't said that Ash destroyed him, The problem was inside Tim and that was what destroyed him

[@TheChameleon2008]

bullshit, there's always 2 sides to everything so you cant just blame 1 side. I just think the news about his death was werid... first he was found in a hotel and then few days later he was found inside a house of the family of the sultan.... suicide but with no note.... was working on a child trafficing documentary so people would have a motive.

[@juangarciasotelo6505]

You're a mentor, the advice you give out to new upcoming talent is good. Thanks for all the positive vibes, simple man. GOAT

[@jaybarot7200]

Thanks Luke for the shout out I've dreamed about getting one from you since I started watching your vlogs😍😍

[@katarzynazavatskaya3503]

Thank you very much for the video. I keep crying every single time I hear a song or read news about Tim. Time will make pain go away, while his songs will only bring joy and loving memories. Thank you.

[@gavsmithmusic]

Thank you Lucas. An amazing vlog. The masses think fame and fortune is everything but you have explained brilliantly that it isn't. Having a purpose is everything. When you continue to do something which doesn't fall in line with your purpose. The results can be catastrophic. RIP Avicii

[@gpac200]

It's so crazy that you mention the lost legends. He was just one year off from joining all those glorious musicians in the Forever 27 club. Hendrix... Amy... Jim Morrison.... He's really the first of the Electronic musicians of such a caliber to pass away so young. He is showing THOSE legends how we party in the future up in heaven now. And finally , he is stress free

[@bluksound]

The Inspiration You Give To People Is Just Amazing! Keep making vlogs...You Are Amazing!!

[@EvelynHernandez]

this is was tragic... such a hard-working artist. my respect goes out to him and everyone else just trying to become a better artist. Thank you luke for being there and guiding those who is trying to follow their dreams. That business and work stress is pretty lame... I totally understand how life gets when all you do is work and work and work. I am an animator in the industry and have noticed that when all I do is work for others all the time, I begin to not feel super overly happy as i usually am and i just feel weird. The balance for me is to only work and make art for someone else's vision as a day job, and use the rest of my spare time to make art for myself and work on my personal projects and even just learning new skills like how im trying to learn how to express myself musically now. The life of only grinding and making money is not for all artist, my vision and creative expression is too much of a part of my life and I think many artist can relate no matter what the art form may be. We make art for ouselves most importantly, and that's a part of life that keeps us happy and motivated while also expriencing everything else life has to offer for inspiration and fun.

[@HOASI]

We will miss you Avicii 😢😢.

[@superheroesdj9796]

Such a powerful message. I had goosebumps throughout the VLog. RIP Tim.

[@ArMandoBda]

GREAT ADVICE LUKE! From someone who does NOT have anxiety BUT FULLY understands it. Stay healthy and positive!

[@mumukitty]

Despite saying stop his manager kept pushing him and as a man who wanted to please and do his best he could not say stop until too late. That's the sadness of this extravert driven world where introvert are always asked to be against their true nature. He was a producer, too sad he was pushed too hard to being a DJ as EDM would call it. He is the collateral damage of EDM craziness. RIP Tim. RIP EDM... I understand you can become a producer after being a DJ, but I never understood how a studio guy can become a DJ.....

[@David-ib8ek]

It was obvious there was something very special about him and the way he expressed himself through his music.

[@Holon8683]

Thank you man. Ive been to your show in Hanoi Vietnam. You are the best and so is Avicii

[@DjROCKIT]

What do I feel makes Dj'ing worth it. After 22 years of playing, even though it may be cliche, it's seeing people smiling dancing and having a great time while I play for them. What makes it even better is when I am make other Dj's dance. And after all that, is going home with my amazing wife Orkid, who is also a DJ, and dancing and dj'ing with her. Happiness through the music we play by those who make it creates a wonderful thing! Love! Respect to you Luke for all you do. And respect and love to Avicii for his musical soul.

[@YakAttack915]

I love how real you are and caring you are regarding your fans, family, friends, etc. God bless you with many more years.

[@joshk_dj]

Rip Tim, his music will live on forever

[@luvphotography6939]

You are amazing, Luke. I just wanna hug you man. Thank you for your videos. Keep uploading.

[@zioping]

love you luke for discovering such talent ❣

[@cdf5513]

R.I.P avicii such a sad loss to the world ~ watching laidback lukes vlog showed just how much he will be deeply missed ~ those church bells wow (RESPECT)

[@ericischillin1159]

The way i deal with stress and anxiety is by sleeping and listening to your music

[@johncabreramunoz5664]

Nice vlog, tribute and message Luke. Never liked Avicii's music but I still feel his loss. 28 is far too early for anyone to go. He clearly touched a lot of people deeply. All the tributes and messages of loss are testimony to his impact and gift. Hopefully he will be the last great artist to leave us in his prime.

[@nainesh829]

You are the first person who play avicii remixs thanks!!!

[@snowqwer]

I respect you for recording this episode about avicii

[@afundance5824]

Thanks Luke, for this vlog and all the more for being one of the early influencers of Tim. Sending you love from the Philippines!

[@Laidbackjo]

Luke what can I say this Vlog tribute to avicii you did flawlessly thank you. Tried not to cry but just couldn’t help myself as sad this is a sad awakening to many other inspiring artist and just fellow people in general I always felt the same money can’t buy you happiness you create your own. I’m sure Tim is looking down on you smiling on how beautiful this was and thank you again for saving my life as well. ❤️

[@bassx5181]

you help a looot and lot of producers to be famous names in music world , you are such a Icon , Legend big Inspiration to everyone , your tips and Advices really Help a lot of new talents also , i hope Avicii Found peace he was searching about , RIP Avicii

[@OmkarJuyal]

You're the one who found avicii You're the one avicii trusted & send his demos! Rip avicii ❤

[@noahthomas9463]

You are definitely a dj that stands out from the rest Luke. You take time to make these vlogs, give amazing advice, and just be super helpful in general! I’m so glad I found your vlogs, they have been super helpful for me! My life has definitely changed because of the. Thank you for your tribute to an amazing artist! #Ripavicii

[@alfonsocruz3079]

Such a great words!! Life and feeling well is for me the meaning of it, the pain is the learnig, the happynes is the result and another step foward. RIP DEAR AVICII .

[@djdiiode2339]

Fantastic word L. I really feel that you are THE person that is connecting 2 worlds that seem separated. Famous artists seem so far from "normal" people and you are the only one that is speaking about problems in the industry and how tough is being up there. Your vlogs are just brilliant.

[@navinrodrigues6182]

Could tell in the documentary that Avicii looked up to you when he started. Nice of you with the tribute ❤️

[@AlbertoUltranaut82]

RIP tim bergling ❤️🙏😢 thank you for sharing LUKE

[@MrPhantom]

Ahh, mate from some reason I had a feeling that you gonna make one full vlog about our Avicii... Watching your vlog I wanna cry me self. It looks like you're really hurt... I was following his career since he was starting.... We lost a great producer and lovely kid. Im 33 me self... So I've already found that life is hard... Decisions we made make us stressed, but worst thing is to be pushed by others to do which no way make us happy... Great Vlog as always, but this one will be my special one now... R.I.P. AVICII!

[@robynramsey]

Depression was a huge part of his equation that needs to be addressed. You can appear to have it all and be severely suffering in silence.

[@DJPjerrot]

This was both hard to watch, but at the same time very good. You truly are a fantastic person Luke. RIP Avicii

[@thistadj]

This is the guy who made me, inspired me. I thank you deeply for your meaningful sharing. You made him as well. Indirectly you too helped me, a lot. Thank you Avicii and laidback Luke...

[@prozakmusic1]

Thx Luke for the tribute, for those kind words about Tim, you're such a great guy, hope one day in my life to shake your hand and salute you, thank you. RIP Avicii.

[@vatsalbhatt3116]

Level's Melody was running in loop for 4 days in my mind nd cried like crazy several times...seriously avicii will be missed...

[@DC-ot3ye]

Luke you are one of the best in the industry, glad to see how much you care about others. This week was a tough week for the EDM community and tougher for you who knew avicii. Thanks for always keeping it real - see you on your next show in San Antonio

[@ankursingh3041]

Luke i don't know why ! I feel this mentor student connect with you ! Your Vlogs, tutorials, videos everything is just so matching the same frequency that i absolutely love it ! Wish to keep learning as much as i can from you Luke

[@31roly]

Merci, merci laidback luke pour le message et surtout merci tim (avicii) 🙏

[@Piikunen1]

thank you for this. hearts are still breaking for Avicii. he was a diamond in this mad music industry. RIP Tim

[@d353cr4ti0n]

Condolences to you and avicii family. Good on you for having the strength to make this thanks man

[@Bby_melii]

I'm so saddened from the passing of Tim. He will be missed.

[@djbwren3704]

Every wedding, every lounge gig, every bar/club gig I play, I’m a total wreck up to the point of when I start to play. I spend the week before usually getting whatever songs I need and building a crate. I organize it so I can navigate it easier. The day before I have to tell myself to not think about it a few times. A few hours before I’m a mess, I don’t want to do it, I get really nervous and want to find ways to get out of it. I get in my vehicle, drive to the spot and set up, still nervous. A lounge/bar gig the set up is 5 min or less, a wedding an hour or so. With weddings I don’t loose my nerves until the reception is going, and that can be a few hours in at times. In the bar/lounge gigs after a few songs I’m usually good. Once it’s all said and done I always look back and say what the hell was I so nervous about. It still happens every time and it’s been 6 years.

[@kgnkwmr]

Thanks for always contributing and giving back to the community Luke! In many ways, you made Avicii possible, and it's thanks to your mentoring spirit

[@richardc020]

As a fellow dedicated dad, happy you keep up with your long time love of music through such duties!

[@N1Z3L]

DUDE I LOVE YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO! I saw the documentary a while ago already and I miss him sooo much but this vid really makes it less painfull for some reason. Thanks so much Luke. I used to listen your music years ago :)

[@naimajackson]

Much love to you Laidback Luke for doing this. ❤️ RIP Tim, you'll never forgotten.

[@koltc4598]

Thanks for the tribute Luke.

[@burlingtonbill1]

This might sound silly, but I'm 66, grew up with the beautiful melodies of Beach Boys' harmonies, and I've only just discovered Avicii and 2 of his best songs (this and Hey Brother). I guess I'll spend the rest of my days trying to catch up to what great music he left behind. Sad, to have only found him after he's gone....

[@kimglover5088]

Well done Luke for giving such great advice that everyone can use and incorporating that into a lovely tribute to an amazing man!

[@Spleexi]

Any words to describe Tim's life, forever in our hearts and minds, forever in my life ❤😔

[@franticarts2180]

Stay strong Luke! Avicii passed but he is still still in our memories and legends never die ❤️

[@SLAAQ_Music]

You are a legend Luke. We all miss him so much. ☹️💔

[@MateMate25]

I like how genuine Avicii was when he was thanking you. #BeautifulSouls. Blessings... Thanks for making this video. I feel a bit better now. Let's continue making music. #Concrete

[@ricardpau7867]

one of your best blogs Luke, thank you for those sincer words. let's live!

[@paue.f.77]

Luke you are an amazing artist and such a reference in the electronic music for any Dj/producer. This message has been really emotive and thanks for showing that being a celebrity DJ is such more that puting a couple songs party after party and touching four things in a computer to do music. Saludos

[@matejsettey8806]

For me this vlog is the best so far .. I hate couple od tributes and some of them were fake for me .. Everybody knows that there is a massage. We love Avicii and we are sad but something have to be said .. And you said it .. You are so clever person and i am so happy that someone famous tells the truth and warned people..

[@skyb0yTube]

Laidback Luke sharing his tips on stress, anxiety and pressure is pure gold.
