Netflix has shared the first trailer for a forthcoming documentary about late Swedish DJ-producer Avicii, AKA Tim Bergling. Avicii — I’m Tim includes interviews with, among others, David Guetta and Coldplay’s Chris Martin, and will be narrated by Bergling himself, using archival video and recordings. The documentary will be available to stream globally on December 31, alongside a 30-minute concert film taken from Avicii’s final performance at Ibiza’s Ushuaïa. Watch the trailer below.
“Through unique home movies and a huge private archive, we get to follow Tim on a winding journey through life—from the very first breath at the maternity ward in Stockholm in 1989 to the tragic end in Oman in 2018,” Netflix said in a press release. “Through himself and everyone close to him—family, artist colleagues and best friends—we get to know Tim—the boy behind Avicii—for the first time.”
Bergling died in 2018 at the age of 28. A posthumous album, TIM, was released in 2019. Sweden has since continued to honor his legacy by opening an Avicii museum and renaming Stockholm’s Ericsson Globe to Avicii Arena.
