Aloe Blacc on Avicii Committing Suicide: I Cried a Lot (Part 5) 

We need more people like this as public figures . Honor , dignity , responsibility.

Vlad, thanks for this interview. It's refreshing to listen to articulate, intelligent, educated black men tell their story without feeling like having to say "My daddy was a pimp. My mom was a hustler. I killed a man. I got a gang of kids" All that ignorance is draining and is detrimental to the community

I met Avicii in a car park in Byron bay Australia I had no idea who he was , he asked me all about my life I thought he was a kind soul . I googled him when he left WOW . I was sad too RIP KIND STRANGER 😔

Rip Avicii ❤️

RIP Avicii, this guy seems like a top bloke.

My best friend committed suicide when we were 19 . There was no indication until it was in hindsight. He hung out with me his last night and did so purposefully. I'm 35 now and I've cried maybe twice over it. I never really dealt with it. Definitely helped lead me into a decade of drug addiction I'm just freshly coming out of. But ya man sui ide is a tough one and all it does is pass your pain on to your closest friends and family.

One of the most respectful interviews I've seen from Vlad, love Aloe Blacc story, dope guy

Vlad needs to check the details of his questions and comments sometime. You are reiterating sensitive details of someone's death to someone who loved them. Its sensationalist and trash.

What is this? No drug dealing, arrests, murders or abandoned childhood and its still brilliant story and interview.

Vlad he was 28 🤦🏼‍♂️

Refreshing interview! Intelligent brotha! Salute to you Aloe Blacc, also RIP Avicii 🙏

😢😢 poor friendo..... I miss mine too so so much. I really felt some Type of way when I heard the news.... He always seemed like a nice guy to me with good energy. :( Rest Peacefully Avicii

As someone with chronic pancreatitis, maybe he had a flare up in that hotel. I know the day or days before he passed, he was drinking again. You can’t even imagine the pain, even if you are a millionaire. Maybe he was in extreme pain that day.

Great Interview!

I just watched his interview and then watched the Favio foreign.... Night and day......

Awesome interview

Damn, that’s it!! Damn great interview, but could’ve done another hour!!

Its cool seeing how this guy came up. I like how he started out self managed and his temperment

kudos to vlad from being able to turn such a sorrowful dialogue to a lot of positivity. lets give him credit where its due. he is learning

R.i.p. Avicii young and had a great life ahead of him 🙏🏿🙏🏿🕊

Rip Avicii

Rest In Peace Tim

He represents us welll... 👍🏾💪🏾💯

The Man is such is a universally relatable and enjoyable anthem for men. Aloe is the man.

Vlad loves asking "Did you cry?"

As a black kid who grew up with both parents in predominantly white neighborhood. But was very aware of my heritage & blackness. It's nice seeing a black guy on Vlad with this dudes life experience. I love my ratchet folk especially my family I always hung with. This ain't the typical Vlad interview.

He's STILL the man ⭐

Wow, the media nvr went in details of his death (saying “health problems”). Crazy how we knew Tamar situation immediately, but years later I’m finding out about Avicii (and I was a longtime fan)

If you are feeling like harming yourself u and need to talk to someone, reach out. " Silence, something about silence makes me sick cause silence can be violence sorta like a slit wrist." - RATM

This is Lamar Odom sober brother

Aloe blacc underrated.

The hardest part of this is that you can see the pain in his eyes.

Avicii 1989 - Forever ❤️

Avicii 🕊♥️

Come on vlad grow up..a person's status has nothing to do with his mental state of mind..you kept bringing it up ...good thing nicca schooled you.

GOOD SOUL

All 3 titles of Vlad i see today include death in the titles. Although this interview was great and ppl should always be remembered. But man. Its draining

Aloe Blacc should have got more views this brother is talented as Fuck

Only 1000 views?? Cmon we gott so better for this guy

🙋🏾‍♂️🍾🥂 FOREVER LEGACY AVICII

🙏

RIP från Biskopsgården

That’s what aloe black sounds like wow

I took a pill in Ibiza to show Avicii I was cool

Really don't know what to think of this interview. No drama positive brother and Vlad probably found it boring and did a short interview.

I don’t think anything happened. I’ve had a similar experience, and tbh when u are very suicidal, u almost are happier. Tbh it’s how I love to this day is off of knowing I’m not forced to be here. I think Tim was in that space. That’s why he was so just normal seeming. Sometimes the pressures of life feel so relieved when you come to that realization. Then one day you just hit a point where it’s like damn I’m content with my decision now, and you commit the act. To everyone else it’s just a shock, and they all think you were feeling this pain, but you really don’t have to be. Now from my own personal experience, yes you do get a little down and anxious when you are about to do it. It’s probably why he didn’t eat. Also highly depressed people can just warp. They will be fine, and then all it takes is one just week where you feel like shit, and then it’s over. Just saying this, I don’t know what anyone could’ve done. Obviously with a situation like this I can see why it was so easy for Tim to do it. He had everything, he did everything there was to do in this pointless thing called life, but behind that, behind all the glamour, he personally probably didn’t feel like he had a purpose. He stopped touring, and he did music almost his life. He was stuck to being this icon forever that I don’t know if he even wanted to be anymore. He was able to travel everywhere around the world, and by 28 he did almost everything that interested him. He had so much wealth. He truly beat the game of life way too young. Most people don’t have Tim to think about this stuff as they have normal jobs, and ect. Tim didn’t have anything like that. He was stuck to this icon, and everyone he kinda knew was attached to it. Once you get to his level there is no going back. You can’t just go out down the street, and you can’t just live normal. So considering all of that, I think it’s 100% understandable with what he did. I have bad anxiety to the point I can’t really talk to new people without my face going numb, I know he had bad social issues too. For him it was probably a nightmare, and there was no escaping what he became. He either just lived in the glamour life, or he tried to live normal, but never knew who was real or fake anymore. For Tim personally, avicii was the worst thing to ever happen to him. Sure it made him, but it also killed him. I know we wouldn’t of ever know him, but for him personally, it would’ve been best if he connected his life to normal society. Everything he became just didn’t fit him. He loved it, but he also said avicii isn’t Tim himself. I also think so Tim was a person who doesn’t see much meaning to the world, and I’m kinda in the same boat. Normal jobs are viewed as useless, and ect. I think just Tim’s end was really destined from the start. The only shot he ever would’ve had is if avicii didn’t exist. Now I know that’s sad to a lot, but for him personally, avicii was the worst thing ever. It also caused major health issues. Obviously he might not agree if he was here, but realistically seeing all the issues it caused, it killed him. By his early 20s he had money just flowing out his ass. He went into this lifestyle and never really had to be a normal adult. To deal with all of his mental struggles from not growing up in a normal way to be a adult, and in a way that was awful for his social issues, and mind set, it caused him to drink, and that also destroyed him. There was no escaping the damage avicii caused, and the damage mentally it caused. Just no one should blame anyone. Nothing anyone could do, and no one would stop it. You either prolong it, or it just happens, but it was never going away. I mean look as his songs. It was clear how he felt for a long time. I think lord is a great song to show case that. He viewed himself as just this thing, and a item. It’s very sad, but it’s the truth. May Tim rest. I don’t believe in the after life, but if there is one, hopefully Tim found it.

Pills and liqour dont mix.....

He didn’t pass away Vlad PD, he committed suicide...you pick and choose how you wanna word things

"Nobody knows what happened"

💛 Aloe Blacc you a class act. RIP Tim Aviccii. Such semblance re murders of innocent people (BLM)😔

He didn't comment suicide this shit makes me angry. He was about to expose sex trafficking and was killed

He's not being truthful.

he didn't kill himself he was exposing sex trafficking..

Why the fuck you always post about someone dying or someone that recently died which was “ Ryan bowers “ and you posted a interview with him a day ago he died 4 DAYS AGO. If you have respect for DJ Vlad. Ur crazy cuz how can you not see the signs ? He uses deaths at certain times for views. That’s why he been in this business for all these years and only got 4M subs 😐. Vlad, you need help.
