The King of EDM is leaving the music scene!
Swedish DJ Avicii, or his real name, Tim Bergling, has announced that he is soon retiring from the scene, and that 2016 will be the last we see of him.
“I’ve decided this 2016 run will be my last tour and last shows,” Avicii announced announced on his official website yesterday. He also expressed that he has strong interest in other areas and this will give him time to explore them.
The post continued, “I know I am blessed to be able to travel all around the world and perform, but I have too little left for the life of a real person behind the artist.”
He then went on to thank his peers in the business, brother and manager Ash, his team, artists and musicians he’s worked with and fans.
Avicii also encouraged fans to text him their thoughts on what he had announced. However, all hope is not lost, as the 26-year old DJ also wrote, “one part of me can never say never, I could be back …but I won’t be right back”.
