Hi everyone, many of you have asked me why I’m not part of the new documentary about Avicii. The simple explanation is practically because Tim’s father is involved in it. I can’t be part of anything where he spreads untruths about Tim, he says in a video clip on Instagram. It’s really that simple, and I mean, it’s ridiculous how he rambles on about, for example, being behind the idea of an "intervention." But it was us who were behind it. His father claims it was his idea, but in reality, he was the one who argued against it, mostly worried about the lost income and missed shows, as well as the risk of being sued by promoters, etc. Not at all about Tim’s well-being, he continues in the video. So yes, that was the tipping point for me. There’s so much more to this story. He is something else, and I think what Jesse said about opioids is a bit inconsiderate. You don’t say something like that to someone struggling with opioid addiction without going into the details, which are quite crucial in this situation, says Sean and continues: When you talk about Tim and all the surgeries he went through, what he dealt with regarding his gallbladder, etc., he became a victim of the prescription OxyContin epidemic in the U.S., and Tim explains this very well in the documentary True Stories that he made himself. So yes, I don’t quite understand why Jesse didn’t mention that. But apart from that, I think Burman did a really good job chronologically when talking about Tim’s music career and all the insane achievements he accomplished, so it’s a pretty controversial 50/50 documentary if you ask me.
