Avicii -- real name Tim Bergling -- has a reputation for partying hard. In a 2013 GQ profile, the superstar DJ spoke about his excessive drinking. "You are traveling around, you live in a suitcase, you get to this place, there's free alcohol everywhere -- it's sort of weird if you don't drink," he told the magazine.
UPDATE Avicii will be having surgery to remove his gall bladder. He released this statement:
I'm really sorry but as some of you have already heard, I will not be playing Ultra Festival this weekend.My fans know that I have had issues in the past with my stomach and pancreatitis...I woke up on Wednesday morning with serious pain but I flew to Miami anyway, hoping that it would go away. The pain was still there when I landed so I went straight to hospital. I was treated and left later that night.
Unfortunately, the pain came back yesterday afternoon and I returned to the hospital where they admitted me to stay overnight.
My doctors have decided to operate and remove my gall bladder tomorrow morning.
It's a routine procedure and all going well, I expect to be fully recovered and back on my feet in time for my US True Tour.
Thanks for your concern everyone, it means a lot to me!
