Avicii’s estate is facing a lawsuit for allegedly suggesting in a Netflix documentary and two books that manager Ash Pournouri was a “manipulative slavedriver” who overworked the Swedish dance music icon and drove him to suicide in 2018.

Pournouri sued the Avicii estate on Tuesday (Dec. 16) in Stockholm District Court. The lawsuit, obtained by Billboard and translated from Swedish by the service DeepL, alleges the estate has violated the terms of a 2016 agreement that ended an eight-year professional relationship between Pournouri and the DJ (Tim Bergling).

According to Pournouri, this agreement barred Bergling and his heirs from publicly discussing Pournouri or disparaging the manager. But he says Bergling did just that in the 2017 Netflix documentary Avicii: True Stories, as did the DJ’s estate in two authorized biographies published after his 2018 death (2021’s Tim: The Official Biography of Avicii and 2024’s Avicii: The Life and Music of Tim Bergling).

“This has mainly been done by misrepresenting Arash Pournouri, among other things, as a person who ruthlessly pushed Tim Bergling to the limit and exploited his career for personal gain,” reads the translated lawsuit. “The image of Ash Pournouri portrayed in the documentary and books is completely inaccurate and amounts to character assassination.”

True Stories, which included participation from Bergling, chronicled the star’s career and eventual decision to separate from Pournouri and retire from touring in 2016. According to Pournouri’s lawsuit, Bergling falsely implied in documentary clips that Pournouri pressured him to keep working despite mental and physical health struggles.

“In fact,” Pournouri’s lawyers write, “Ash was very positive about Tim’s decision to stop touring and saw it as a much needed and welcome turning point.”

Pournouri also alleges that recordings of himself were featured in True Stories without consent or key context. There’s a clip, for example, of Pournouri speaking in Swedish with English subtitles reading, “Tim is going to die. With all the interviews, radio tours and everything, he’s going to fall down dead.”

Much has been made of this statement, given Bergling’s struggles and eventual suicide. But according to Pournouri, these subtitles are a mistranslation of the Swedish phrase “he will die,” which he says is a common idiom “used to convey excitement or intensity.”

Pournouri alleges that he was also portrayed falsely as overworking Bergling in both the 2021 and 2024 biographies. According to the lawsuit, the books were approved by the Bergling’s heirs and relied on interviews with Bergling’s friends and family, as well as documents supplied by the estate.

As a result of all this, Pournouri says, the public now believes an “absurd and false” narrative that he drove Bergling to his death. Pournouri alleges the opposite is true. The lawsuit says they had no contact for two years before the suicide, adding, “Ash Pournouri is convinced that Tim Bergling would not have committed suicide if Ash Pournouri had still been present in his life.”

Pournouri posted a lengthy statement on Instagram the day his lawsuit was filed. In the post, he said the goal of the case is to “correct an inaccurate and incomplete public narrative.”

“This is not an intent to attack. It’s just time to let the facts speak,” Pournouri wrote. “Although I have suffered considerable harm, any damages awarded go directly to real charitable causes. I take nothing personally. This is about the record, not profit.”

A rep for the Avicii estate did not immediately have a comment on the lawsuit.

Pink Floyd’s classic LP Wish You Were Here is the U.K.’s Christmas No. 1 album for 2025 on the chart dated Dec. 19, five decades years on from when it first hit the top spot.

A new digital and physical reissue of the 1975 LP features a number of previously unreleased alternate versions and demos of songs such as “Shine on You Crazy Diamond” and its title track, “Wish You Were Here.” 

By returning to the No. 1 spot, the band achieves a rare feat, becoming the longest span between its first No. 1 album to its last No. 1 at over 50 years (2,620 weeks). Wish You Were Here hit No. 1 on release in 1975, but Dark Side of the Moon (1973) peaked at only No. 2. They overtake The Beatles and Abbey Road, who previously held the title with 49 years and 252 days between No. 1s, first hitting the summit in 1969 before regaining the top spot in 2019. 

This becomes the Floyd’s second No. 1 album of the 2025 after the re-release Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII, a live show from 1971, hit the top spot in May. It’s the band’s first Christmas No. 1 Album, though the group did secure the Christmas No. 1 single in 1979 with “Another Brick in the Wall.”

Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving closes at No. 2, and the record scores a 12th consecutive week in the top five. Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl lifts one place to No. 3 ,while Michael Bublé’s Christmas also rises one spot to No. 4 and Sabrina Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend rounds out the top five at No. 5.

There’s three spots for Oasis in the top 40 with (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? back up to No. 10,  (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? – Singles Box, a 7″ singles box set which commemorates 30 years of the LP’s release, landing at No. 23, while debut album Definitely Maybe jumps five places to No. 26.
