Fans and friends are remembering groundbreaking DJ Avicii, born Tim Bergling after the Swedish hitmaker died last Friday at age of 28.
While there are many unanswered questions about Avicii, like his exact cause of death, here's one question that we can answer for the EDM community, what does the stage name Avicii mean?
Avicii "means the lowest level of hell, it's just cool," Avicii had told back in 2012.
Indeed, in Buddhism, Avīci is a hell where dead who have sinned will, after enduring punishment, be reborn.
Avicii added the additional "i" to distinguish himself from a different Avici on MySpace.
