Avicii's haunting prediction that he would die young.

A documentary shows Avicii told his management he feared he was going to die young in what now sounds like a haunting prediction of what was to come.

The 28-year-old DJ – real name Tim Bergling – died from yet unknown causes in Muscat, Oman last week.

In the wake of his death, fans have been sharing a 2017 documentary, Avicii: True Stories, on his rise to superstardom filmed from 2012 to 2016.

The film shows what led to the Swedish native announcing in April 2016 that he would be taking a break from touring after suffering stress, anxiety and fatigue. It came after the star dealt with multiple health scares, including suffering from acute pancreatitis aged 21 as a result of heavy drinking and later having his gallbladder and appendix removed.

This, along with the pressure and energy toll of performing 813 gigs in the space of eight years, led to his decision to take a break from touring.

Yet, despite his insistence to his management that his life was at serious risk, they continued to push him to perform.

“I have told them this. I won’t be able to play anymore,” he says in the documentary.

“I have said, like, I’m going to die. I have said it so many times. And so I don’t want to hear that I should entertain the thought of doing another gig.”

Later, he says to the camera: “When I decided to stop, I expected something completely different. I expected support, particularly considering everything I have been through.”

“I have been very open with everyone I work with, and everyone who knows me. Everyone knows that I’ve had anxiety and that I have tried. I did not expect that people would try to pressure me into doing more gigs.

“They have seen how ill I have felt by doing it, but I had a lot of push-back when I wanted to stop doing gigs.”

Avicii had been holidaying at a popular resort on Oman’s coast in the days before his death on 20 April. So far two autopsies have ruled out foul play, but authorities are yet to publicly release a cause of death.
