“I’m going to try to slow it down. Taking a break was the absolute best thing I’ve done. I’m doing better and better.”

Aviici’s health has been a hot topic of discussion ever since he dropped out from Ultra Music Festival citing medical issues. Now after his gull bladder surgery and more cancelled shows, Avicii decided it was about time to go public about his health.

In an interview with Billboard, Avicii said, ” I took a month off, but it wasn’t really a month off. I was in the studio 12 hours a day, and then went right back to touring. It’s hard to say no in this industry. You want to play everything and be everywhere.” Well it seems that Avicii was quite productive during his break, as the studio time paid off in the form of his newest single and debut release for his upcoming album. All the best to Avicii as he continues managing his health despite competing desires to get back out there.
