He missed the 27 club.
Way too young!
[Verse 1]
I took a pill in Ibiza
To show Avicii I was cool
And when I finally got sober, felt 10 years older
But it was something to do
I’m living out in LA
I drive a sports car just to prove
I’m a real big baller cause I made a million dollars
And I spend it on girls and shoes
[Chorus]
But you don’t wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
You don’t ever wanna step off that roller coaster
And be all alone
You don’t wanna ride the bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
You don’t wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
[Verse 2]
I’m just a singer who already blew his shot
I get along with old timers
Cause my name’s a reminder of a pop song people forgot
And I can’t keep a girl, no
Cause as soon as the sun comes up
I cut ‘em all loose and work’s my excuse
But the truth is I can’t open up
Acute pancreatitis before reaching 30. Egad.
yeah, sounds like something sinister.
I know Oman is a peaceful Muslim nation (seriously, it is), but there is likely something not good about this death.
The devil said, “Meh... I’m only making you a D.J., not a *real* musician... I’ll give you an extra year.”
I really like that song (fast version and slow version).
Some guy who pushed buttons for a living.
Party till you die. Excessive drinking.
For a while Boston had an electoronic music station, Evolution 101.7 “All Things Dance”. A drug popular with those at EDM shows was known as Molly, so I thought: Molly 101.7, All Things Overdose. (There were some overdoses at EDM shows).
The station switched to country and is doing well.The EDM is on the HD2 signal of 101.7
what a waste! dead before 30
RIP.
I knew nothing about him. I think he was more than just a DJ who played other folks music. I think he also introduced a couple of new acts to the public, and was a well liked media figure. We have people like that here, or in other generations. Every generation has it’s own inspirational personalities. This fellow had already messed his stomach up with heavy alcohol consumption before he was 21 y/o.
Some groups are meant for whoever is still growing up at that time. I never got into groups like The Red Hot Chilli Peppers or Hootie and the Blowfish, but many others did. I wasn’t into Coldplay, except for one song., “If I could rule the world” which is a stunning and stirring song, perfectly orchestrated, from beginning to end.
He was the brother of Veni, Vidi, and Vici.
Who know! Him!!!
EDM - video game sounds through a sequencer, drum machine, sampled vocal clips, and the haze of Molly. No real musicianship.
Even sludgy Norwegian black metal sounds better (no Varg please).
He's had a long history of alcoholism. Some people's bodies just can't take it. Grateful Dead keyboardist Ron "Pigpen" McKernan died of alcohol-related health issues at 27. GnR bassist Duff McKagen barely survived alcohol-related pancreatitis at age 30.
You're right about Oman. Most friendly people I've ever met. Beautiful country.
It’s the EDM pop culture. “I just wanna party party party and get drunk drunk drunk”, a summation of pop “songs” by Ke$ha. Party hard and burn out.
