Top moments from the new Avicii documentary on Netflix: Spoilers

With the Avicii documentary officially streaming on Netflix as of New Year’s Eve, fans have had time to get a deeper look into the life of the late producer. We run down some of the most fascinating and incredible moments from the documentary.

The pending release of the Avicii documentary, I’m Tim on the final day of 2024 provided fans with an unparalleled look into the life and work of Tim Bergling. Airing now via Netflix, the documentary follows Avicii from his beginnings as a producer all the way through to his tragic passing in early 2018. While the ending is familiar to his legion of fans, the documentary also shows plenty of positive moments, especially revealing the support Tim felt from his parents and family. They were a crucial aspect of his youth and their support helped give him the confidence to pursue his career. Unfortunately, the documentary features both highs and lows, with his reliance on drinking and eventual issues with pancreatitis also discussed throughout.

I’m Tim also dives into Avicii’s relationship with fame and the music industry. He discusses the burden and frustration of record execs and other industry insiders focusing meetings on streams and comments while he preferred to hone his craft in the studio. That stress and frustration would of course bleed into his art, especially following his now iconic Ultra Music 2013 performance and the initial reveal of his single Wake Me Up. While the song and album would go on to achieve massive levels of success, its initial release was met with scorn and much backlash.

There is of course much more to be gained from watching the Avicii documentary and reliving the iconic and also heartbreaking moments that made Tim Bergling so beloved to family, friends, fellow producers, and of course fans around the world.
