Mike Posner Calls Avicii’s Death a Wake-up Call, Wants Him Remembered for His Songs
April 27, 2018EXCLUSIVE
Mike Posner's still coping with the loss of Avicii, and says the world-famous DJ's death has been a harsh reminder for him — nothing lasts forever.
We got the singer at LAX Thursday and asked him how he feels about his hit track, "I Took A Pill In Ibiza" — known for its mention of Avicii in the second line — now that he's gone. He tells us it definitely has a much deeper meaning now … and will always make him think of Tim.
Mike also says he wants his friend remembered for his music above all else, because that's the highest honor for musicians … and what he hopes for himself. He shares some fond memories of working with Avicii, too … even on the never-released stuff.
Posner paid tribute to Avicii during last weekend's Coachella performance with a touching, acoustic version of "I Took A Pill In Ibiza."
