AVICII ‘HEAVEN’ VIDEO IS A GORGEOUS TRIBUTE TO TIM BERGLING

The video to the track “Heaven” from Avicii: TIM is out today. Directed by filmmaker Levan Tsikurishvili, the video is a gorgeous combination of images of Tim Bergling from their last visit to Île Sainte-Marie in Madagascar in 2016 during the filming of True Stories and a second visit that Tsikurishvili made after Tim’s death to honor his legacy.

(Tim and Chris Martin wrote and recorded “Heaven” in 2014, with Tim producing the final version in 2016.)

In a statement about the video, Tsikurishvili wrote: “I have been working with Tim since about 2013. During these years, we made 8 music videos, 3 concert movies and 2 documentaries together. In 2016, right after his last show, Tim, Tim’s childhood friend Awat, and I spent 19 beautiful days in Madagascar, Île Sainte-Marie. We spoke about everything, laughed, played monopoly, hung out with lemurs, and explored the entire island together. Now, two-and-a-half years later, I returned to the island to remember Tim, to honor his legacy, and to recreate the memories that will stay with us forever.
