To all fans : Tim ended the business relationship, (around 2016) long before Tim ended his life. Ash was there and supported Tim. Tim's decision came from self evaluation and a way for him to find peace for his soul.

Maybe it was allready too late, because of all the antidepressants

Thank you for sharing this. I'm not going to give an opinion of Ash, the music industry and such since it's complex and factors for what happened that tragic day were set in motion from the time when Tim was a teenager. Reading the biography gave me some new insights I didn't have before. It was really well researched; highly recommend all Avicii fans read it.

[@MarioKuburovic]

now I've read the avicii book myself and I can read ash only tried to help avicci from start to finish, ash wanted to make him the biggest dj in the world and he succeeded, but after all that I don't think you should interfere I think ash tried and helped avicci all he could when avicci wasn't feeling well, and I know avicci would have thanked ash today if he could for everything ash has done for him, don't say avicci wasn't the reason for the success but you have to remember that ash promoted his music a lot, but all in all we have to thank both of them for the work they did, we will probably never see someone like avicci and ash again but remember avicci was here Rip Avicci

Thanks for the translation! I hope you can release part 2 soon 🙂

wth I didnt even know Ash taught Avicii music theory that is actually pretty mind blowing

This dude still couldnt see Avicii was dying from him overbooking shows

Blame doesn't fully lie on him

[@LaWdHaveMercy4]

@@axzostavicii7765 facts but Avicii trusted him most. Seems like he didnt care what Tim did as long as he kept touring.

[@Afritunez]

@@LaWdHaveMercy4 he wasnt even his manager at the time of death, cut it out

[@Bob-bn1xg]

@@Afritunez Tim's physical and mental health deteriorated rapidly when he had to do too many shows. Watch the documentary true stories. there's plenty of evidence that ash and his team were bad for tim. 2016 tim stopped showing and 2018 committed suicide. He continued to suffer from it and many well-known relatives va tim also say that it was too much for him and he could not handle it. If he had a good manager who takes tim into account, there is a good chance that tim would still be here

[@MarioKuburovic]

“some will think ash pushed avicii too much and was the reason for his death, I don't accept that”

[@airylriezman6924]

Please share the whole interview

[@MarioKuburovic]

I often wonder if Ash doesn't have a hard time some days because his life was after all touring the world with Avicci and suddenly his friend dies his brother his everything really think it has broken him mentally

You can see a slime when you see one. Don’t matter what nationality or country, universally the same.
Don’t release anything unless it’s better then the one before ?? What do you mean? I just wanna go in and drop music dog. It ain’t gotta be god tier.
For his idea of a brand I can tell he probably advocated to not use Aloe blacc.. guy seems like he saw Tim. Knew Tim was a little off, but talented and was gonna use his melodies. But had no idea he was working with Avicii

[@blizzardwolftv5957]

Ash the one who cared about money whisky Avicii was dying. Hope he feels guilt…
