Avicii puts pause his career as DJ

The Swedish DJ Avicii, 26 years old, announced through its website that leaves his musical career, at least temporality, to explore other fields and have more time for his private life.

"I have decided that in this 2016 will place my last tour and last concerts", he explains in a long letter to his followers, which however does not close the door to return to the stage: " Part of me can never never say. I could go back, but not soon".
The artist, known for songs like " Levels" or " Wake Me Up", indicates that it has " strong interests in different areas but too little time to explore them". In addition, Avicii, whose real name is Tim Bergling, regrets having " too little time for the life of the real person behind the artist".

The decision was made a few weeks ago after driving across America with friends and crew of the tour " just to look and think about things from a new point of view".
