This is another truly heartbreaking one. World famous DJ Avicii was only 28 when he took his own life. Many wondered how someone who was considered to be at the peak of his profession could choose to leave us so soon, but in reality Avicii's story is a cautionary one about the excesses of fame.
Avicii, whose real name was Tim Bergling, had already been retired from performing for two years at the time he died. Having encountered fame at a young age, he found himself partying to excess when he was on tour, and the levels at which he drank had caused him chronic health problems. Bergling suffered with acute pancreatitis, and had his appendix and gallbladder removed due to health conditions associated with drinking. Unable to bear the pain any longer, he chose to leave us in April. We'll remember the hits, but his is a tragic tale about the dangers of too much, too soon.
