The Museum of Honor will pay tribute to Avicii through photos, videos, souvenirs and unreleased music by the artist.
Wake Me Up singer Avicii gained worldwide fame in 2011 with his song Levels, but stopped touring in 2016 after battling alcohol and opioid addiction.
His addiction to prescription painkillers comes from then-22-year-old Avicii, who was rushed to hospital in January 2012 after developing agonizing pancreatitis caused by excessive drinking and acne medication.
Doctors strongly advised him to stay sober for at least six months and to exclude unhealthy food, otherwise his stomach will become inflamed again and will not heal, which will lead to the possibility of suffering from chronic pain for the rest of his life.

In 2015, after the intervention of his family, the star went to stay at the Ibiza Calm Rehabilitation Center for $ 13,400 a week.
In April 2018, Avicii traveled with a friend to Oman, before that he sent a message to a friend discussing his endeavors in meditation.
After fighting his demons, he turned to meditation, focusing heavily on the works of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi – who taught that one can reach the deepest state of consciousness or enlightenment and have no more suffering.

Maharishi’s teachings say that this level of “cosmic consciousness” can be achieved in five to eight years, “but Avicii wanted to reach this level faster, so he meditated for hours at a time – instead of the proposed 20 minutes.
On April 19, a companion Avichi met during the trip contacted his father to express concern about the star’s meditation practices.
He said the star was crying, not talking, refusing to eat and sitting in the hot sun. He later called Klass to tell him that the star had taken his own life.
