Since the untimely passing of Avicii, many have speculated as to the cause of his death and the root of his problems. Many pointed the finger at Ash Pournouri, who was Avicii's manager from 2008 until December of 2016. Now, Ash has taken to Instagram to share a somewhat cryptic message.

“Seven years on, that time I spoke of rests only with me, and is finally approaching,” says Ash Pournouri, who was the long time manager of Avicii.

In an Instagram post shared today, he stated that back in 2018, the day after he passed away, he wrote: ”There’s so much to this that others don’t know, nor could they even begin to understand. And I will try to address it at a later time.” Now, a further statement has been made which reads:

I waited. I asked for the record to be set straight – not just for me and my family, but also for Tim. That never happened. The facts stayed buried, while the picture was left distorted. At some point, waiting for others to speak up became part of the problem. Seven years on, that time I spoke of rests only with me, and is finally approaching.”

Since the release of Netflix’s documentary ‘I’m Tim’ nearly a year ago, controversy was sparked up when Sean Eriksson called out the involvement of Avicii’s father Klas Bergling. With this statement, the truth surrounding the ex-manager’s involvement may finally be revealed.
