Alcohol misuse to cope with nerves
Bergling told Gq In March 2013 he developed the problem of drinking early in his career to deal with self-doubt-and that touring gives him easy access and ample opportunity to create a routine practice. “You travel around, you live in a suitcase, you get to this place, alcohol is free everywhere,” he said. “It’s kind of wonder if you don’t drink … I was so nervous. I got used to, because you rely on that encouragement and self -confidence you get from alcohol, and then you become dependent on it.”
In the 2017 documentary Avicii: True StoriesHe revealed that he was worried that he was too “stiff” on stage when he hadn’t been drinking. “So then I found a magical cure just having a couple of drinks before going on.”
As his anxiety grew, so did substance misuse: ‘he was consistent’
Another documentary, Netflix’s Avicii – Tim I’mAnd the Streamer hit in December 2024, highlighting how much the DJ began to rely on prescription drugs to prevent its growing concern. “I just felt anxious,” he explained in voice. “I didn’t know where the concern came from. I could feel it physically in my gut. It was like a stone in my gut, that’s how it felt. And it was steady. A steady emotion.”
In an interview with CBS this morning In 2019, Avicii’s father, ClassHe said his son had also struggled with concern. He and his wife said he and his wife AnkiHe saw the concern of their son as a teenager and associated with professional help.
“When you have a child who doesn’t feel good, you try everything to get the situation right again,” said Klas. “And you’re trying to understand what’s going on. So we went to a psychiatrist. I think he’s 14 or 15 years old, yes. And he made a kind of Talmed Tim down.”
But when it became clear that his son was misusing substances as a coping mechanism, Klas eventually staged an intervention with help Arash PoinnouriAVICII co-producer and manager. Although initially reluctant, Avicii agreed for treatment. “He finally registered. We were delighted. He arrived through it,” said Klas at Netflix Dock. “I think he realized it was time for him to do something about it.”

Johnny Nunez/WirimageAfter his son’s death, Klas said CBS this morning that his son had been very open for his battles with anxiety and depression because “he was looking.”
“When you are an active producer, artist, your mind is almost all the time,” Klas continued. “He produced music almost all the time. So I think he needs something to balance this. That’s why he tried to get in … think of life and ways to have a little quieter life … so, meditation.”
Avicii said to reflect on full days rather than timed increments, and a friend expressed concerns that he refused to take breaks to eat or talk.
Despite being aware of his battles, getting support around him and trying to use coping equipment outside substance misuse, he often felt overwhelming.

He wanted to go on longer. He couldn’t go on longer. He couldn’t go on longer. He couldn’t go on longer. He couldn’t go on longer. He couldn’t go on longer. He couldn’t go on longer.
