To die what is meant to be at the prime of your life at age 28 is heartbreaking. R.I.P.

knucklehead6 · 20-04-2018 08:14PM

Not a fan of electronic music but I’d say those of you who are pretending to not know who he was were positively creaming yourselves over this from a while back

Early 40’s here and am so not with it that I make Grandpa Simpson look clued in but I’d at least heard of the lad.

I really liked his music. It made me want to drive with the windows down and the radio blaring.
Rest in peace Avicii.

I like electronic music and I honestly hadn't heard of this guy until today, but his style work ain't my scene, but someone dying at 28 ain't my scene either. R.I.P.

Ahhhhh sh't....

First Big Tom. Now this.

A young man with a positive message for his peers in an age of miserable bastards. It's very sad. One day we will leave this world, so live a life that will be remembered. Family. Your kids. Your friends. Do not be afraid. Believe in yourself. Smile. Persevere. Light a fire they can't put out.

What a buachaill. Sad to hear he is gone and I hope he is finally at peace. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Genuinely shocked at this. Another star gone way too young.

I also see David Carey has passed away. He was a psychologist who did a parenting slot on Moncrieff.

Yep, his music was quite catchy.
Very sad news

His music was ****, but Christ that's young!

Leave the message on the Headstone to the family.

BorneTobyWilde · 20-04-2018 08:39PM

Anyone dying at that age is a tragedy. He was successful in his field, and living how he pleased. What we all aim for in life.

dudara · 20-04-2018 08:40PM

Not my type of music but even so, I knew some of his stuff. Incredible that he had achieved so much at such a young age.

johnpatrick81 · 20-04-2018 08:43PM

Hard not to get a bit emotional watching the Nights vid

Didn’t realize he had so many quality tunes!

20-04-2018 08:47PM

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam. Far, far too young. I never heard of him until I saw this, a version which he apparently liked:

Was he the guy with the American accent ? oh no... I loved listening to him.
(maybe not American, just odd to my French ears ???)

RIP young Avicii, not my scene but all the youngsters I frequent were very fond of his music, and to me it does bring up images of warm summer days and the radio on.

Ken. · 20-04-2018 08:50PM

Mod-The next arsehole post gets treated like one.

mzungu · 20-04-2018 08:52PM

Crikey, only 28. Still a youngster. RIP.

JeffKenna · 20-04-2018 08:53PM

RIP

Wexfordboy89 · 20-04-2018 08:54PM

Rip scary that he was the born the same year as myself makes you think how short life is

johnpatrick81 · 20-04-2018 08:58PM

A read through his Wikipedia is frightening! Did he ever sleep?! Some amount of work and achievements for someone so young.

That's right. He was indeed American, Connecticut I believe.

Aglomerado · 20-04-2018 08:59PM

I'm shocked. RIP. Loved 'Levels'. His Eurovision 2013 opening ceremony music was great too (collaboration with one of the guys from ABBA.) ðŸ˜¢

Say Your Number · 20-04-2018 09:02PM

Not really a fan of his but Hey Brother and You Make Me are decent pop songs, I remember summer 2013 when Wake Me Up seemed to be playing everywhere I went.

Wouldn't be into electronic music, but you can't deny he had a talent for composing, the long list of hits he was behind is ridiculous.

Original. Living up to the name.

Id be shocked if you didn't recognise his music.

Listening to some of his lyrics, I wonder if he knew he did not long left.

As for people that say they have never heard of him. "Wake me up" in Irish on the Late Late Show?

anewme · 20-04-2018 09:18PM

I’m old enough to be his mother but I have to say I got a terrible shock when that news came over the news tonight at 7pm in the car in my way home from work.

My first thoughts were, he must be only a young fella.

28 that’s so sad.

Some of the behavior here is from people clearly not aware of life or their surroundings or living in a bubble. .

people seriously don’t know who he is?

The most played song over the past few years, on radio, tv, ads, everywhere?

Then the other bit about people disrespecting his work.

Have you ever when someone dies go “ah well he was crap at his job.”
Coukdnt have been that crap to be that successful.

Pack of begrudgers.

RIP.

SCOOP 64 · 20-04-2018 09:20PM

Dale winton passed away the other day at 62 thinking that was young but 28 still had all the best years ahead of him.

Doctors room ghost · 20-04-2018 09:26PM

Sad to hear.anyone who ever turned on a radio would know his songs.and they were the kind of music you would listen to no matter what you were at or what mood you were in.easy listening.rip to him

ArchXStanton · 20-04-2018 09:28PM

I've heard his songs but had to Google image him there...he has to be the most Scandinavian looking bloke I've ever seen

Anyways RIP...way too young

erica74 · 20-04-2018 09:33PM

Saw it online earlier and thought it was a joke, such a young man. RIP, far too young and talented to go.

20-04-2018 09:37PM

Very sad to hear this. Wouldn’t be my favourite type of music but he was obviously great at what he did. And too young! I like the song “Levels”...it’s the first song on my running playlist on my iPod for years.

Also weird seeing photos of him all over social media as he’s the spit image of my youngest brother..

RIP Avicii (Mod warning in op)
