A tribute to Avicii 

Many listened to Avicii, few listened to Tim...now you can finally rest 🙏

I talked with him for some years.. I was 14 and started producing tracks, and he encouraged me because of my age. It's so crazy to imagine one second he's away now.. He used to give me tips, feedback, solutions, and kept saying work will pay one day. I will never stop thanking him for what he's done for me, and I can say one thing: he was such a good person. We miss you Tim...

You probably know I said this before but still I’ll say it again Luke: The way you tutor, show, educate, AND use your position in the dancemusic industry is very VERY respectable. Oh 1 thing: Don’t be afraid to show emotion (eg tears), for they too, are part of life... Bless, S. #manhug

My wife and me watched the documentary two days before Tim passed away. It were so devasting news, cause after we watched it on netflix, i thought to myself how great it was that he found his peace of mind. sincerest condolences , luke!

Avicii should have stay in the studio wasn’t cut out for touring he is a legend well done for making this avicii will live on in his music

Only LBL would take time out of his busy schedule to create, record, edit and post this kind of tribute. If anyone's voice should be heard in regards to the scene it should be Luke's! Thank you for being such a driving force in dance music and just an awesome human being in general. R.I.P. Avicii

You found avicii. You are god

Luke is a fvcking legend. I hope I get to meet him one day and just talk to him...

Crazy how he opened for you in 2009 and you opened for him years later in Ibiza. Great vlog Luke. RIP Tim, you’ll be missed!

God bless you Luke. Without you, we would most likely have not heard all the amazing moving and melodic tunes from Avicii. Thanks for what you and him have been, still are, and forever will be to the scene.

RIP AVICII :( Thanks For Tribute LaidBack Luke

Avicii’s Levels renewed my love for dance music and djiing. Rest easy bro...

I think he was searching love and stability. Pure love nothing else

hey man, dont ever feel like you cant cry. we're all humans and we all have emotions. Sending much love

People will remember you for your life you live not money you make . Aviici 😢

His Silhoutte will forever remain with everyone!

What a sad lose. Such a talent. Avicii we will miss you so much, you impacted me personally introducing me to Edm. And thank you Luke for making this tribute video.

Stress, anxiety, and peer pressure are huge impacts on life. I am on my second deployment right now with the US Navy and go through different stress every day. Just like Luke said, we all have friends, families, and people in this world that are here to make our life amazing. We need to remember to take a step back once in a while to remember that.

Stopped listening to Avicii a couple of years ago but it's amazing to look back to his records and realize that almost every track he made was a piece of art that affected so many people in so many different ways! 'Seek Bromance' still gives me the chills and will forever be in my heart. Much respect to Tim.

It's so crazy that you mention the lost legends. He was just one year off from joining all those glorious musicians in the Forever 27 club. Hendrix... Amy... Jim Morrison.... He's really the first of the Electronic musicians of such a caliber to pass away so young. He is showing THOSE legends how we party in the future up in heaven now. And finally , he is stress free

his management team ruined his life.

Anxiety sucks, I know from experience. My friend once said, people are unhappy despite fortunes and fame because they don't believe in nothing. Big loss, but Tim is a legend and his legacy will live.

Rest in peace Tim. Thank you for everything..

I've been listening to him since his remix of new new new in 2009ish, his melodies and music in general helped me through so much, what a tragic loss, RIP Avicii. Loved the vlog, thank you for the tribute and thank you for giving him a shot and helping him in the early days Luke, super awesome of you to take the time and do that, we all love and appreciate you

I have been going through addiction, anxiety, depression and stress for the last 6 years. Avicii's music made me forget about all of those things and appreciate what I have in front of me. I love your vlogs man. Keep up the amazing work. #RIPAvicii. We all love you brother.

I've just join in the DJ industrial not long ago… and the hardest part is 30% of my tracts avicii… when i got the news he passed away… i drop my tears while I'm at the middle of my gig… He is such a talented young boy… i will always set you and him as my DJ goal… Thank you avicii for all your lovely and sweet music… you're always in my mind…

I've been dealing with depression and I was pretty messed up until I told my family and they were really supportive and made sure I got help. So great message about speaking up LL. There are always someone how wants to help you.

I was so shocked when I first heard of this message! :/ Avicii was and still is one of my biggest inspirations 🎶I literally watched his studio session with "Future Music Magazine" more than 10 times just to learn new things, learn about his workflow and see what he is doing in Fl Studio. I loved his music specially his melodies and how he changed the music industry. Sadly one of my biggest dreams: To meet Tim in person and to speak to him will never be fulfilled. I'm still thankful for everything he did and hope that his music will never stop inspiring people!! 🎶 May Tim "Avicii" rest in peace 🎶🎶 Hope you guys think the same about this! #RipAvicii 🙏

Thank you for your tribute. Hard to believe he's been gone a year now.

To live without passion its not live, its just to exist. Luke you are a living proof that its possible to get both. Thank you for sharing your time, your life and your feelings with us. You are an example of professional and of person to me. RIP AVICII

Its still unbelievable... he was one of those producers that always had a story in his tracks...tribute from a legend to another legend! Would love to meet you one day! You are such a humble and wise man! Love from Switzerland with our deepest condolences

That's awesome Laidback Luke! So glad you're still finding talent through your forums. Crazy how if you just give someone a chance they can be the next BIG thing...

There is no otheer like Lucas Van Schippingen, and ceertainly, there will be no one like Timmy Timmy Timmy Berling (listening to Desiigner´s Timmy Turner). Luke, you are the best DJ in the world, it doesnt matter what magazines and popularity polls say. #1 DJ in the world means more than having 10 hits going #1 on Beatport or Spinning Recs or being the best paid DJ 6 times in a row, or selling completely to the Elite. TO be #1 DJ in the world is just what you and only you do: To become a talent scout, musician, producer, blogger and Vlogger, CEO at your own record label, host of your own radio show, mixmaster, entretainer, preserver of the DJ culture and caring about the comunnity, being a mentor for future generations, being honest about every aspect of the DJ carrer and what is most important: SHARING IT. You were close to Avicii and also experienced how is to be living on the edge, yourself back in the day. My only question still is : If everyone claimed to be as close as Avicii as you really were, why the hell nobody played his new songs this year? Just a few played Without You, but the EP was 6 songs and at time of death, at least other 2 songs were certifed singles..Lonely Together and the best song of the record: YOU BE LOVE. Why nobody played this songs on their sets, as for what I read, all reviews on his 01-AVICI EP that I recall, said it was excellent. My other question is: why do you never talk about trance when you refer to generes? Support, Love and Respect form Tijuana, Mexico.,

You are such a mentor Luke, Respect. god bless you man

Thank you Luke for taking the time to talk to people about anxieties and stress. I feel like it’s super important to remind people about resources. It speaks numbers to me as far as making music and reminding what’s important. You are my favorite Dj. I hope to be successful as you one day.

I love how real you are and caring you are regarding your fans, family, friends, etc. God bless you with many more years.

Despite saying stop his manager kept pushing him and as a man who wanted to please and do his best he could not say stop until too late. That's the sadness of this extravert driven world where introvert are always asked to be against their true nature. He was a producer, too sad he was pushed too hard to being a DJ as EDM would call it. He is the collateral damage of EDM craziness. RIP Tim. RIP EDM... I understand you can become a producer after being a DJ, but I never understood how a studio guy can become a DJ.....

*Rest in peace legend* Your music will never die 😢😢😢

It’s not about money and fame. Family and health is what’s important. I’ve struggled with anxiety like so many people, and in the back of your head you know you’re not alone, but it’s always nice when you hear someone say it. Thank you for this. ✌️

Sorry for your loss. Just started teaching and I cannot imagine what it feels like to lose a good student who graduates and becomes a friend... Keep up the great work.

You're the one who found avicii You're the one avicii trusted & send his demos! Rip avicii ❤

Thank you very much for the video. I keep crying every single time I hear a song or read news about Tim. Time will make pain go away, while his songs will only bring joy and loving memories. Thank you.

Powerful video Luke, thanks. Rest is peace Tim.

You're a mentor, the advice you give out to new upcoming talent is good. Thanks for all the positive vibes, simple man. GOAT

It was obvious there was something very special about him and the way he expressed himself through his music.

Ever since I started watching your vlogs, I realised what kind of lifestyle you have to go through and then when Avicii (may he rest in peace) passed away I immediately thought to myself how many more DJ's are there that are going through this right now as well? I don't want see another great loss like that, at least not a young one. It's true what you said Luke, people need to speak up about what's troubling them, I want to see DJ's talk to one another about hardships like that and support each other. The veterans should teach the young talent not just the skills but the difficulties that come with being a major performer. I wish nothing but the best of things and strength to all the DJ's out there

Luke what can I say this Vlog tribute to avicii you did flawlessly thank you. Tried not to cry but just couldn’t help myself as sad this is a sad awakening to many other inspiring artist and just fellow people in general I always felt the same money can’t buy you happiness you create your own. I’m sure Tim is looking down on you smiling on how beautiful this was and thank you again for saving my life as well. ❤️

Thank you for helping raise a legend. If you didn't we wouldn't have heard his beautiful messages. Thank you

love you luke for discovering such talent ❣

Luke you are one of the best in the industry, glad to see how much you care about others. This week was a tough week for the EDM community and tougher for you who knew avicii. Thanks for always keeping it real - see you on your next show in San Antonio

Well Spoken Luke. A touching tribute that sheds a lot of light on the matter

We will miss you Avicii 😢😢.

this is was tragic... such a hard-working artist. my respect goes out to him and everyone else just trying to become a better artist. Thank you luke for being there and guiding those who is trying to follow their dreams. That business and work stress is pretty lame... I totally understand how life gets when all you do is work and work and work. I am an animator in the industry and have noticed that when all I do is work for others all the time, I begin to not feel super overly happy as i usually am and i just feel weird. The balance for me is to only work and make art for someone else's vision as a day job, and use the rest of my spare time to make art for myself and work on my personal projects and even just learning new skills like how im trying to learn how to express myself musically now. The life of only grinding and making money is not for all artist, my vision and creative expression is too much of a part of my life and I think many artist can relate no matter what the art form may be. We make art for ouselves most importantly, and that's a part of life that keeps us happy and motivated while also expriencing everything else life has to offer for inspiration and fun.

Thank you Lucas. An amazing vlog. The masses think fame and fortune is everything but you have explained brilliantly that it isn't. Having a purpose is everything. When you continue to do something which doesn't fall in line with your purpose. The results can be catastrophic. RIP Avicii

Rip Tim, his music will live on forever

Thank you man. Ive been to your show in Hanoi Vietnam. You are the best and so is Avicii

Level's Melody was running in loop for 4 days in my mind nd cried like crazy several times...seriously avicii will be missed...

you help a looot and lot of producers to be famous names in music world , you are such a Icon , Legend big Inspiration to everyone , your tips and Advices really Help a lot of new talents also , i hope Avicii Found peace he was searching about , RIP Avicii

The Inspiration You Give To People Is Just Amazing! Keep making vlogs...You Are Amazing!!

Depression was a huge part of his equation that needs to be addressed. You can appear to have it all and be severely suffering in silence.

R.I.P avicii such a sad loss to the world ~ watching laidback lukes vlog showed just how much he will be deeply missed ~ those church bells wow (RESPECT)

You are amazing, Luke. I just wanna hug you man. Thank you for your videos. Keep uploading.

What do I feel makes Dj'ing worth it. After 22 years of playing, even though it may be cliche, it's seeing people smiling dancing and having a great time while I play for them. What makes it even better is when I am make other Dj's dance. And after all that, is going home with my amazing wife Orkid, who is also a DJ, and dancing and dj'ing with her. Happiness through the music we play by those who make it creates a wonderful thing! Love! Respect to you Luke for all you do. And respect and love to Avicii for his musical soul.

If only Tim listened more of you and less listened his management team , Ash and others.

Nice vlog, tribute and message Luke. Never liked Avicii's music but I still feel his loss. 28 is far too early for anyone to go. He clearly touched a lot of people deeply. All the tributes and messages of loss are testimony to his impact and gift. Hopefully he will be the last great artist to leave us in his prime.

Luke has been bringing great talents to the desks from decades. Very few people do that. #Rip Avicii

Such a great words!! Life and feeling well is for me the meaning of it, the pain is the learnig, the happynes is the result and another step foward. RIP DEAR AVICII .

Ahhh I still remember Avicii 😭 (2024)

Heartbroken, can’t believe this happened. Rest in peace to one of the greatest 💔

GREAT ADVICE LUKE! From someone who does NOT have anxiety BUT FULLY understands it. Stay healthy and positive!

Such a powerful message. I had goosebumps throughout the VLog. RIP Tim.

The only thing that is really worth it for me is love. Although love can hurt very much, it can also make you the happiest person alive. That's what I'm living for. Spreading love.

Any words to describe Tim's life, forever in our hearts and minds, forever in my life ❤😔

thank you for this. hearts are still breaking for Avicii. he was a diamond in this mad music industry. RIP Tim

Thx Luke for the tribute, for those kind words about Tim, you're such a great guy, hope one day in my life to shake your hand and salute you, thank you. RIP Avicii.

It all makes sense now Avicii inspired me to make music and Sir Laidback Luke showed me the importants of live shows. Massive Thanks to both of you.

Stay strong Luke! Avicii passed but he is still still in our memories and legends never die ❤️

As a fellow dedicated dad, happy you keep up with your long time love of music through such duties!

Fantastic word L. I really feel that you are THE person that is connecting 2 worlds that seem separated. Famous artists seem so far from "normal" people and you are the only one that is speaking about problems in the industry and how tough is being up there. Your vlogs are just brilliant.

This is the guy who made me, inspired me. I thank you deeply for your meaningful sharing. You made him as well. Indirectly you too helped me, a lot. Thank you Avicii and laidback Luke...

For me you are the best Dj in the world... Technically on the mix table or producing musics you simply rock... Thanks Laidback Luke you are the best....

Thanks for always being so positive and connected to your fans! We love you!!

Laidback Luke sharing his tips on stress, anxiety and pressure is pure gold.

RIP tim bergling ❤️🙏😢 thank you for sharing LUKE

Wow Luke you're not only an amazing dj & producer you're also an amazing person and this vlog, your words and your memories of Tim show it

Music , Family and Friends , LIFE IS ALL ABOUT IT...

The way I deal with my stress is listening some good tracks and just let the music come... obviously electronic music and just dance a little bit. The best way for fighting stress.

I'm 35, still feel like a kid trying to live the dream.

Condolences to you and avicii family. Good on you for having the strength to make this thanks man

This was both hard to watch, but at the same time very good. You truly are a fantastic person Luke. RIP Avicii

Thanks for always contributing and giving back to the community Luke! In many ways, you made Avicii possible, and it's thanks to your mentoring spirit

I really appreciate your sincerity in your videos. You are great person and i respect you. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and all the good energy you transmit 🙏🏼

Well done Luke for giving such great advice that everyone can use and incorporating that into a lovely tribute to an amazing man!

Its sad that nobody just asked him how he really was feeling. That could have helped alot i believe. Never be afraid to ask someone because you never know when they will be gone

Hey laidback this blog was really great and the way u have dealt with the word stress is awesome we all go through it at certain point where we have to say no and respect each other

This might sound silly, but I'm 66, grew up with the beautiful melodies of Beach Boys' harmonies, and I've only just discovered Avicii and 2 of his best songs (this and Hey Brother). I guess I'll spend the rest of my days trying to catch up to what great music he left behind. Sad, to have only found him after he's gone....

Man you always have the realest talk, thanks so much for your input in this, I've struggled with anxiety recently and aviciis death really got me hard,it's good to hear you understand and have the class to help people

You give good vibes. RIP Tim

Thanks Luke, for this vlog and all the more for being one of the early influencers of Tim. Sending you love from the Philippines!

Thank you for this wonderful tribute to the talented Tim. You made cry again while I am writing this comment. Avicii will BE (Steve Angello, Laidback Luke) in our hearts
