Avicii has said adios to his performer persona in an emotional post to his website avicii.com.
The Swedish musician and producer, aka Tim Bergling, told fans his current tour would be his last... for a while.
In between demonstrating good form thanking everyone he could think of and the industry, he acknowledged his "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."
In signing off, he did leave the door ajar with, "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 back." Read Avicii's full statement here.
He released his debut studio album, 'True', in 2013 and peaked within the top ten in more than fifteen countries, topping the Australian, Swedish, Danish and US charts. Last year, he released his second album, 'Stories'.
