Avicii’s dad shares painful details of intervention before late DJ’s death Klas Bergling – Avicii’s father – opens up in Netflix documentary about staging an intervention before his late son’s death.
Avicii, born Tim Bergling, was grappling with the pressures of fame and his own identity when Klas Bergling, alongside Avicii’s longtime collaborator and manager Arash “Ash” Pournouri, organized the intervention.
The father of the late DJ and producer Avicii has described the “excruciatingly painful” intervention staged for his son as he struggled with his fame and lifestyle before his death.
A new Netflix documentary, Avicii — I’m Tim, sheds light on the mental health struggles that led to the Swedish artist’s death by suicide in 2018 at the age of 28, including an addiction to painkillers exacerbated by anxiety.
According to Klas, Avicii was initially resistant.
