As you probably know, record producer and DJ Avicii died On 20 April 2018 and I believe the cause is still unknown. I knew he had some health-related issues, which is why he retired from touring in 2016 I believe. But this was just unexpected to me and I find it heartbreaking, especially with how young he was. He was only 28 years old. I've heard a lot of music from different DJs and producers and Avicii was definitely among the best. He was extremely talented and a lot of artists in the world of EDM looked up to him. It's a shame that there are people out there that don't know who he is because he was excellent at what he did. He was definitely taken too soon.
So with that, I've decided to do a quick Top 10 post where I will be counting down my Top 10 favorite songs from Avicii. I haven't done a Top 10 post since the passing of Chester Bennington, but I feel like now is an appropriate time to do one for Avicii. Selecting ten songs wasn't that hard since he only had two albums and a couple EPs, so I was able to squeeze in all of my favorites. But despite that, I could tell he had so much potential. It's such a shame to see him go so soon because he really was amazing and very talented. So without further ado, here are my Top 10 favorite songs from Avicii.
