Avicii’s retirement caused shockwaves across the industry. Here are some of the industry’s reactions.
Earlier yesterday, Avicii announced that he would be retiring from tour life stating “2016 run will be my last tour and last shows. Let’s make them go out with a bang! One part of me can never say never, I could be back …but I won’t be right back”.
The announcement left a lot of fans in shock as producers and DJs also took to social media to thank and support Tim in his decision, citing him as a musical inspiration.
.@avichie Best of luck on the retirement with the music career stuff. I've tried twice. It's not like quitting a fuckin dayjob.

I'll always have a massive amount of respect for @Avicii. Hes probably one of the biggest reasons I started making music in the first place.

I'm not sad to see @Avicii stop touring, I think it's only the start of something greater for him & for us that admire his work. Go on Tim ?
