“A song will follow you forever.” Whew! He knows how the heart, mind, body and soul work symbiotically. Merci beaucoup Malik.

Still can’t believe such a beautiful soul took his own life. So sad. Your legend lives on, Malik

Fly with Angels beautiful Malik. ♥

Such a bright young man. Im so saddened to have just heard about his passing. May he rest peacefully.

Cool. I hope a documentary on Swedish TV would win an Oscar. And that is in Swedish

So young and talented 😓 & seemed such an energetic personality. You never really know what’s really going on behind closed doors. RIP Malik ❤️

so sad to have lost him, special human

R.I.P malik Bendjelloul!

He seems so full of creative energy....maybe he ran out of things to produce and fell into a depressive state.....so sad....RIP.

Malik, the man that hade so many side of qualetys,and humens feelings, varför just nu när framgången började nalkas,det får vi aldrig svar på, det man vet är att mellan framgång och avgrund kan oftas vara hårfin. så ochså i en människas huvud. Thome' Björling.

Kiitos

The problem with Sixto Rodrigues he is not the typical Gringo rock star; witty, up tight and out of sight. In fact is demise he is very shy, quiet and some introverted personality. But his genius in music oozes all over his body.

This guy is so cool and funny. he could be a stand up comedian

Searching For Sugar Man is pretty popular

BEST. COUNTRY. EVER. Hands down.

Varför?

One can clearly hear the depression through the words he speaks in this interview, however he plays it quite well, sadly swedish health care is in freefall.

*RIP*

Sweden

Damn he whacked himself...so sad..

RIP
