AVICII:“REALLY SHOULD HAVE STOOD UP FOR MYSELF MORE”

Avicii has opened up about his decision to quit touring last year, ahead of his forthcoming ‘Avicii: True Stories’ documentary.

In a new interview with Rolling Stone he spoke about how it felt to relive memories from the time on the road that saw him hospitalized multiple times.

“It was hard,” Avicii said. “I looked at myself like, ‘Fuck, you should’ve really stood up for yourself more there. Come on, Tim!’ Why didn’t I stop the ship earlier?”

He went on to explain how he felt a kinship with artists like Brian Wilson and The Beatles, who also gave up touring at the peak of their powers.
“I watched the new Beatles documentary and seeing certain parts I was like, ‘Oh, it’s not just me who felt like that.’

“The one thing that kept me from stopping was that I felt weird – like, ‘Why the fuck can’t I enjoy this like all the other DJs?’

“But I’m starting to realize that a lot of the DJs who look excited at every show have the same thoughts.”

That was after Avicii launched his Avicii FM show earlier this month (September).
