“I HOPE WE SUCCEED IN CREATING A FEELING THAT WE REALLY DO THIS TOGETHER, BECAUSE IT IS ONLY TOGETHER THAT WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. YOUNG PEOPLE ARE OUR FUTURE AND WE MUST BE AFRAID FOR THEM. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THEY ARE GETTING WORSE AND THAT SUICIDE RATES ARE RISING IN THAT GROUP – AND IT IS OUR DUTY TO DO WHAT WE CAN TO BREAK THAT TREND.”
Klas Bergling – Avicii’s Father
