**New Movies Honor Avicii‘s Life**
It’s been six years since the famous Swedish DJ-producer, Avicii, died at 28. Two new movies about his life are coming to Netflix next week.
The movies celebrate Avicii’s life and music. He was known for making unexpected collaborations and hits like “Wake Me Up!” and “Hey Brother.”
**New Films**
One movie is a concert film called “Avicii — My Last Show.” It shows what became his final performance. The other is a full-length documentary called “Avicii — I’m Tim.”
The documentary looks at Avicii’s early life, the songs that made him famous, and the people he left behind. Miraculously, some of the film was narrated by Avicii himself in old interviews.
**Making the Film**
Director Henrik Burman worked on the project for half a decade. He wanted to tell a story about Avicii’s life from the start. But he also wanted time to do it right and not rush into it.
Burman said that finding people close to Avicii was key. They had to agree with him before he could ask them questions. It took a long time, but he got their blessing.
**Avicii’s Legacy**
The director believes that Avicii’s music was ahead of its time. You can still hear it in modern hits today. He says that Avicii’s legacy is not just about the music, but also about his creative transformation and how he inspired others.
**What Viewers Will See**
Burman hopes that viewers will get a new perspective on Avicii as a person and an artist. He wants people to see that life is complex and multilayered.
The documentary and concert film premiere next week on Netflix. They are a tribute to Avicii’s life and music.
