Sad to hear. No matter what you thought of his music, he was wildly popular and talented. Safe home. Much too young.

Just caught up on this news, same sentiments as previous. Not a fan but a very tragic way to end a very successful career and life at only 28.
Shows that previous articles on many DJ websites are more than ever relevant today regarding pressure, depression and anxiety as he used alcohol as a crutch to perform and under peer pressure carried on abusing it until his operations to remove his gallbladder and appendix.
I am of course assuming it is his untimely passing is eventually related to this of course.
Sad news.

Our beloved Tim was a seeker, a fragile artistic soul searching for answers to existential questions.

An over-achieving perfectionist who traveled and worked hard at a pace that led to extreme stress.

When he stopped touring, he wanted to find a balance in life to be happy and be able to do what he loved most – music.

He really struggled with thoughts about Meaning, Life, Happiness.

He could not go on any longer.

He wanted to find peace.

Tim was not made for the business machine he found himself in; he was a sensitive guy who loved his fans but shunned the spotlight.

Tim, you will forever be loved and sadly missed.

The person you were and your music will keep your memory alive.
