As previously mentioned, Avicii had been afflicted with a number of ailments, including acute pancreatitis, and in an effort to combat the painful condition, he'd reportedly sworn off alcohol. But, while Avicii had allegedly said no to booze in recent years, he may have slipped and started drinking again shortly before his passing — this according to a report by TMZ. The gossip rag published a photo of Avicii taken just one day before his untimely death, showing the DJ, drink in hand, on a yacht alongside two men. Of course, it's unclear just what Avicii is drinking in the photograph.
However, the photo of Avicii with a beverage isn't the only sign that he may have possibly started drinking again. Record producer Nile Rodgers, who collaborated with Avicii on his 2013 album True, told the Associated Press that he'd been worried about Avicii because the artist had allegedly shown up intoxicated to a gig. "It was a little bit sad to me because he had promised me he would stop drinking, and when I saw him he was drunk that night," he recalled (via Metro). "And I was like, 'Whoa. Dude. C'mon. What are you doing? What's going on? You said that that was done.'"
