Bergling also delved into the topic of Pophouse Entertainment, a Swedish investment firm that acquired a majority stake in Avicii’s music catalog in 2022. Through honoring his son’s memory with narratives that amplify his impact, the company’s brand strategy includes the development of an Avicii musical.
When asked about the longevity of Avicii’s memory through the Pophouse deal, Bergling expressed confidence in its ability to preserve his son’s legacy. He emphasized the importance of the music and catalogs as assets for the Tim Bergling Foundation, ensuring its sustainability for the next 50 years.
Reflecting on the growth of the foundation and the support it provides for mental health issues, Bergling acknowledged the significance of a team in Stockholm that enables him to entrust the foundation’s future to capable hands.
In a recent auction of Avicii’s personal belongings, over $700,000 was raised to support suicide prevention efforts championed by his family. The auction, which featured 267 items, contributed all proceeds to the Tim Bergling Foundation’s initiatives.
On a different note, Netflix is set to release “Avicii – I’m Tim,” an intimate documentary narrated by the artist himself, on December 31st, 2024. Additionally, Netflix will premiere “Avicii – My Last Show,” chronicling his final performance.
