A telling moment in Avicii: True Stories comes shortly after his first hospitalisation in 2014. Told by doctors at his bedside that he will be in considerable pain, Avicii and his team discuss how to continue the world tour in spite of the news. After being discharged from hospital, he’s driven on to the next commitment. As he visibly struggles against the effects of the medication, a member of his team asks if he would do some phone interviews that afternoon. They need to promote his next show. A seemingly exhausted Avicii stares out of the window, struggling to keep up with the conversation, but he agrees to the interviews.
