Just days after performing at the UK's biggest dance music festival, Creamfields, the Swedish DJ announces he will be postponing all remaining dates this year.
It feels a bit like déjà vu as the 'Waiting For Love' DJ did a similar thing last September, at the time citing health problems.
This time his health hasn't been given as a reason for postponing his shows, instead according to Billboard the DJ's reps have said it is due to "an overloaded summer schedule, the pressures of delivering his sophomore album Stories and his directorial debut on two music videos."
Avicii told Billboard “in moving my tour promotional responsibilities to next year, I have a great opportunity to focus on myself and spend time trying to grow up in a way I never got the chance to – normal, or as normal as it could get.”
We caught up with the visibly tired Avicii, recently and he spoke to us about wanting to work with people like Andre 3000, Adele or even Paul Simon.
He also talked about his thoughts on EDM and the new album 'Stories'.
Despite postponing his gigs Avicii has released two music videos, 'Pure Grinding' and 'For a Better Day'.
