Netflix subscribers are being urged to watch a new ‘bittersweet’ documentary that’s been described as ‘one of the saddest stories ever.’ The film, titled Avicii: True Stories, was released on New Year’s Eve and has quickly climbed Netflix’s most-watched charts, capturing the hearts of the late DJ’s fans.
This poignant 95-minute feature explores the life of Avicii, born Tim Bergling, following his journey to fame and his tragic passing in 2018. Avicii himself narrates the documentary, providing an intimate look at his personal experiences away from the limelight, reports the Mirror.
The documentary is enriched with never-before-seen footage of the Swedish sensation and interviews with friends and collaborators, including Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. Known for dominating the EDM world in the 2010s with smash hits like Wake Me Up and Levels, Avicii faced struggles with health and addiction issues offstage.
