It’s worth taking into consideration the few tracks that have already been released posthumously, such as ‘The Otherside‘ with Cam. In addition to this, we’ve seen Kygo finish up ‘Forever Yours‘ alongside Sandro Cavazza. Only time will tell when the remaining music will be released, but I have a feeling it is only inevitable.
3. The Avicii Biography
While we do have the documentary – which technically came out while he was still alive – we’ve yet to see the release of an official biography. We recently shared news of how the biography, titled ‘Tim: The Official Biography of Avicii‘, would be seeing a release in North America on November 16. Award-winning Swedish author Måns Mosesson wrote it. It will contain interviews with Avicii’s family, friends, and colleagues. Mosesson also retraced some of Bergling’s adventures, going from Stockholm to Miami, Ibiza, and Los Angeles. As a fan, this is something I look forward to digesting.
4. Online Memorial
Since his passing, we’ve seen an online memorial be created to honor Tim. Soon, we will also have a physical memorial. Not much is known at the moment, other than the fact that it will be built in Stockholm, Sweden. The news was originally broken by Sweden’s Daily paper, Dagens Nyheter. The news was later confirmed by the district committee chair of Östermalm in Stockholm.
5. Video Games
Over the course of the last year, we’ve seen a slew of video games crop up using Tim’s music as its foundation. This includes games like ‘AVICII Invector‘ and ‘Beat Legend‘. I personally think this is awesome. I can’t help but think of how a child somewhere in the world will be inspired by the music in these video games, similar to how Porter Robinson fell in love with dance music through Dance Dance Revolution.
6. Tim Bergling Foundation
Music aside, this may very well serve as the best representation of Avicii’s lasting legacy: The Tim Bergling Foundation. A simple google search shows the type of person Avicii was, in life. He raised millions of dollars to help combat hunger, as well as HIV and AIDs. I personally saw him in 2011 during his ‘House For Hunger Tour‘ not knowing the legend he would go on to become. That tour alone raised $1 million for the charity organization ‘Feeding America’, in an effort to fight hunger in America.
