This book tugged at my heartstrings. I still remember the day I found out Tim died. It was the first time I cried over a celebrities death. I played his music that whole evening, and to this day his music has a dear space in my heart.

“Tim Bergling's death shocked the music world. His musical courage, the playful way in which he brought together different styles and elements, was praised in the press. At the same time, millions of fans testified to the importance of his music in their lives. Tim's melodies and lyrics, characterised by light and hopefulness, were a strengthening force when life was tough.”

This biography tells the story of a young Swedish boy from being unknown, to being famous. His struggles with addiction. How hard it is for mental health to be in that world, and mental health in general.

Ending this review with saying it's okay to get help, it's okay not to be okay. Keep your eyes open on your surroundings, if you might suspect someone might be going through tough times.

Thank you Måns Mosesson for bringing his struggles to the light and thank you Tim, for your fantastic music. Rest in peace.
