Grammar/syntax errors (Personal Life): 1) Change “her” to “she”; Bettencourt revealed she and Bergling got back together in the beginning of 2016.

2)

The sentence: “She got pregnant with his child, but she later had a miscarriage, after which they broke up again.” should be changed to “The reunion resulted in a pregnancy that was miscarried.”

This change is recommended to take the blame off Bettencourt for the loss of pregnancy. 24.148.90.230 (talk) 00:43, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Under Death -> Tributes -> From fellow musicians, I have 2 changes to request. The current page has an innacuracy about Kygo playing at Tomorrowland 2018, and also omits the fact that Kygo's first tribute to Avicii came on the same day as Avicii's death, before any of the other tributes currently listed on the page.

Change requests: 1. Partway through this section, the paragraph about "The 2018 edition of Tomorrowland" incorrectly states that Kygo played at Tomorrowland 2018. The first sentence of this paragraph should be changed: Change: "The 2018 edition of Tomorrowland saw several tributes to Bergling from Axwell Λ Ingrosso, Don Diablo, Nicky Romero, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Zedd and Kygo, the latter mentioning that Bergling was his biggest influence in EDM.[196]" To: "The 2018 edition of Tomorrowland saw several tributes to Bergling from Axwell Λ Ingrosso, Don Diablo, Nicky Romero, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, and Zedd."

The citation for [196] should be moved, as it only refers to Kygo and not Tomorrowland 2018. This citation (copy/pasted here for reference) should instead be attached to change request 2 below. Waldrop, Theresa (21 April 2018). "DJ Kygo calls Avicii 'a true musical genius' in emotional Coachella tribute". CNN. Archived from the original on 30 November 2018. Retrieved 30 November 2018.

2. At the start of the section, add: "On 20 April 2018, several hours after learning of Avicii's death, Norwegian DJ Kygo dedicated his Coachella set to Avicii. Kygo described Bergling as his "biggest musical inspiration" and "a true musical genius", and concluded his set with "Without You", which he named as his favorite Avicii track."

And as mentioned above, the old citation [196] should be used for this new paragraph.
