In April 2018, one of the stars of the music industry passed away. Avicii, a Swiss DJ and a major influence on the music industry, died by suicide. His death shocked the world and his tens of millions of fans shed a tear for their favorite artist. Joining the masses in paying their respect was Andrey Rublev, who recently paid a tribute to the musician.

Rublev gave his tribute to the late musician in the Swedish Open held in Bastad. While the Russian player was ousted by Djokovic in Wimbledon, he decided to go big in Sweden.

Andrey Rublev remembers the Swedish music legend

Playing big in Bastad, Rublev smashed all the competition on his way to the final. Facing Casper Ruud in his last Swedish Open match, the Russian player brought down the Norwegian in two sets and achieved a bagel in the second set. During the post-match ceremony, he gave a big speech and thanked everyone in his team. However, he forgot one part of his speech which he shared on his Twitter handle.

In his tweet, where he mentions the missing part of the speech, he wanted to dedicate his win to the late Avicii. “One more thing a forgot to say during ceremony in Bastad. I want to give tribute to one of the greatest artist ever exist from 🇸🇪 Avicii (Tim Bergling) 🖤 His legacy will live forever. ◢ ◤“.

Former F1 star honors Avicii with a unique move

Former F1 star Marcus Ericsson, who is currently participating in the NTT IndyCar Series, did not have much of a flashy season in 2020, but turned the tide in 2021. After his triumphs, he decided to design a burger for the biggest Swedish chain, Brodernas. Naming his brain child ‘Indy Burger’, the ex-Sauber driver raised quite the capital with this venture. However, he decided to make a noble move with his funds. He decided to donate the entirety of the proceeds to the Tim Bergling Foundation.

The foundation was established by Avicii’s father, which researches mental health and prevention of suicide. The Swedish DJ had an immense impact on the world with his work, which even after his death, still inspires millions of his fans.
