together with Steve Wynn.

Mr. President.

[laughter]

[man] Mm-hmm.

[Fredrik] They had a great talk

and [bleep] understood completely,

and, uh, that was,

uh, it with the Vegas shows.

[dramatic string music]

[Avicii] When I decided to stop...

I was expecting a completely different...

I was expecting support in stopping.

I was expecting to,

especially with what I'd been through.

And I'd been very open

with every... everyone I worked with

and everyone who knows me.

I've been very open with what

I've been through, what I've felt, and...

what I've done.

You know, everyone knows,

uh, that I've been anxious and, you know,

everything, and that I've been trying.

So I-I... I didn't expect people to try

to push me to... to do more shows,

when it really...

When they'd seen

how shitty I felt... doing it.

So... So I did get a lot of resistance

when I wanted to stop doing the shows.

[Avicii] Yeah!

[exclaims]

[laughter]

Liam!

[Ash] Anyone that... that goes

from... from being in school

to all... to having a career

and being successful

misses a big part of growing up.

Obviously that comes with challenges.

He doesn't... You know, there's a...

[people chattering in Swedish]

What's your name?

[speaking Japanese]

- Tim. [laughs]

- [both] Nice to meet you.

- [man] One, two, three.

- [camera beeps and clicks]

[laughter]

[crowd cheering]

- [announcer speaks Japanese]

- [cheering intensifies]

I'm so happy I'm finally here.

[cheering continues]

I've had the best five days

in Japan ever.

You guys have

the most beautiful country ever.

[bleep]

["Ten More Days" by Avicii playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[both chuckle]

[plane roaring]

[laughing]

[crowd whistling and murmuring]

[plane roaring]

[cheering and murmuring]

[camera clicks]

[whistles]

[high-pitched whistling]

[chuckles]

[ticking continues]

[chattering in Swedish]

[laughter]

[heartbeat]

[crowd cheering and whistling]

[cameras clicking]

[indistinct chatter]

[dramatic string music]

[cheering]

[crowd chanting] Avicii! Avicii! Avicii!

Avicii! Avicii...

[screaming and cheering]

[string music intensifies]

Ushuaia.

[cheering and whistling]

Thank you so much for tonight. [chuckles]

[chanting] Avicii! Avicii...

I couldn't have asked

for a... a better last show.

Thank you so much for tonight,

you were awesome.

[string music continues]

[music fading out]

[waves crashing softly]

[Nile] The... The performance part of it

is one part of the artistic arc.

And if you cut that out of it,

you still have the life

of the creative composer,

the person who puts it all together.

That is a beautiful,

wonderful, rewarding life.

["Feeling Good" by Avicii playing]

[Wyclef] I watched his ups

and I watched his downs,

and I can understand that because...

you know, I too had success

at a very, very young age.

So, it's hard for people

who don't have success

in their twenties to understand

what comes with,

you know, anything you want to buy in

your twenties, anything you want to have.

And then you're gonna have, like, a gang

of leeches, you know what I'm saying?

Then you got people who just gonna just

try to suck you up, you know what I mean?

And now, you know,

it's almost like sometimes

you feel like you in a world

all by yourself.

So, for you to find a way out of that

and to still say: "You know what?

I'm Tim, I love music, but you know what,

right now, I just need to find myself."

[Avicii] But now it's only been

a month since I did my last show

and I feel...

[stutters] I mean, like, I feel like

I did when I was like 18, maybe.

I feel I'm in the same

kind of spirit as I was then.

["Feeling Good" continues]

I started making music

and I started DJing.

I just quit my job

and I dont really have a plan yet.

[revving]
