Speaking about BPM Presents: Avicii Birthday Tribute for Mental Health Awareness, Klas Bergling, Avicii’s father and founder of the Tim Bergling Foundation, said: “Anki and I want to thank Geronimo and SiriusXM for their continued support of Tim’s music and for taking this time to put a spotlight on the global issue of mental health,”

“We want to encourage Tim’s fans and all young people to know that they are not alone. It’s important to talk to someone, a friend or family member or workmate. There is help for any emotional struggle they or their friends may have.”
