Singer Aloe Blacc has a home performance he gave on Monday to Avicii, with whom he collaborated on the world hit Wake Me Up.
During the benefit action, with which Blacc raised money for the Feeding America foundation, he took the time to dwell on the Swedish DJ, whose real name is Tim Bergling.
“Tim was very important to me, the music we made was great. In addition, it ended up at number one on the charts. The cool thing is that people can sing the lyrics word for word. I can continue Tim’s work every time I sing that song. “
Blacc also dedicated the second song of his set to the DJ. After Avicii’s death, Black was asked by the DJ’s record company to sing the song. “They said Tim wrote down that he wanted me to do the vocals. That was crazy. Especially because the song SOS hot, so in light of his death. “
“We Can Only Honor His Legacy”
“I wish I had heard the song when he was alive and had been able to ask him questions. I had spoken to him a few months before he died and he really felt like he was all right again,” said the singer. “All we can do now is to honor his legacy by sharing the music he created.”
Avicii died two years ago at the age of 28 in Oman, where he was on vacation with some friends. His family wrote in a letter that Bergling “couldn’t go any further and wanted to find peace”.
In the past, the DJ had health problems due to his excessive drinking. He also stopped touring because he couldn’t handle fame.
