I expected Saturday morning to be a lot of things, but definitely not this. 28 is really too young for anyone to die and Avicii was one of the most original and appreciated EDM artist. And the cause of his death remains a mystery to all of us right now, so maybe I’m still hoping this is all a hoax. If that’s the case,
Wake me up when it’s all over.
