Avicii’s tragic death in 2018 came two years after he announced his retirement from touring followingyears of chronic health problems, including acute pancreatitis.

In one entry, he described how difficult it was to stop drinking alcohol, per doctor’s orders, something he previously said he’d become “dependent” upon to help curb his anxiety.

“I had a hard time accepting never drinking again though strongly suggested from all doctors to wait at least a year before even having a beer,” Avicii reportedly wrote. “Of course, I didn’t listen to the majority of the doctors, I listened to the couple who said it was OK if I was careful. I was ignorant and naïve and touring the world, still on the never-ending tour — because once you’ve circled it, guess what? You start right back over again. Those days in hospital were the most anxiety and stress-free days I can remember the past six years, those were my true vacations, as depressing as it might sound.”
